Dr Dwain Tissell—preacher, scholar, and teacher—joins Expositors Collective to share insights from his 38 years of pastoral ministry and his deep love for biblical literacy and preaching. Now an adjunct professor at Western Seminary, he teaches courses on Applied Biblical Leadership and C.S. Lewis's insights on discipleship in a post-Christian world. In this conversation with Mike Neglia, Dwain reflects on his early preaching experiences, the importance of confident humility in the pulpit, and how imagination—shaped by C.S. Lewis—can enrich faith and biblical engagement.Throughout the episode, Dwain highlights the power of the Word of God and encourages preachers to persist, grow, and love their congregations well. He also shares his research on C.S. Lewis, including work at Oxford's Bodleian Library and the Marion E. Wade Center, as well as insights from his Christian history podcast, Holy History, which he co-hosts with his son.This conversation offers thoughtful reflections on preaching, discipleship, and imagination, along with practical wisdom for those seeking to deepen their craft and stay faithful in ministry.Dwain Tissell (D.Min., Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary; Th.M., Regent College) is Adjunct Professor at Western Seminary in the Masters of Applied Biblical Leadership (MABL) program, in Portland, Oregon. He also teaches a Doctor of Ministry course in “C. S. Lewis and Friends On Mere Discipleship In A Post-Christian Age.” Until 2023 Dwain was a pastor and preacher for 38 years, the last 30 years was spent in a church plant just outside Portland. Over those years he grew deeply in his love for the Bible, and God's people. He also had the great privilege of studying preaching and communication under Haddon Robinson, at Gordon Conwell. He is also a writer on C.S. Lewis. As a pastor he sought to live into the tradition of the pastor-scholar. As a result he has done extensive research at the Marion E. Wade Center in Wheaton, Illinois and at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, UK. He has had book notes in the Journal VII of the Marion E. Wade Center, as well as an article on C.S. Lewis's most important idea in the 2024 volume of the C. S. Lewis journal Sehnsucht. In October of 2017 he conducted an oral history interview with James M. Houston on Houston's experience of knowing C. S. Lewis for seven years as a colleague in Oxford from 1947-1954. Dwain delivered two papers at The Undiscovered C. S. Lewis Conference, in September of 2024 at George Fox University in Newburg, Oregon. One titled “On the Road with Jack and Warnie: Walking the Wye River Valley with the Lewis Brothers,” and the other “C. S. Lewis, James Houston, and the ‘Zernov Circle.' He and his son, Benjamin, also host the Christian history podcast, Holy History.Resources Mentioned: Holy History Podcast: The Good, the Bad and the downright Strange! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/holy-history/id1504391539 C.

Have you ever wondered if reincarnation is real? How young children exhibit extraordinary talents and insights that seem almost otherworldly? Some suggest that these children might bring these incredible talents to this earth from another lifetime. At two years old, #JamesLeininger began recounting details of being a World War II fighter pilot. He described being shot down by a plane with a red sun, symbolizing the Japanese flag. And he knew intricate details about World War II aircraft, identifying a drop tank on a toy airplane. He was recalling very specific and vivid details about his previous life, including his previous name, which was James, a fellow pilot named Jack Larsen, and the aircraft carrier he flew from named the Natoma. Well, James' parents verified the details in their book #SoleSurvivor. So, after finding extraordinary evidence that they could not explain away, they now believe that their son was indeed recalling the life of James M. Houston, a World War II pilot killed in action. Recent research shows that a third of all Americans, including 30% of Christians, believe in reincarnation. America's younger generation being the most open to the concept. So, these stories and beliefs across cultures and history suggest that it just might be more of our existence than we understand. Could reincarnation be real? Join me in this episode of #HaveYouEverWondered?, as I discuss the phenomenon of reincarnation with researcher and author Dr. #JimMatlock. Dr. Matlock holds a B.A. in English and a Ph.D. in Anthropology. He is a Research Fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation. He is the author of Signs of Reincarnation: Exploring Beliefs, Cases, and Theory, which provides the first comprehensive look at the belief in reincarnation and the evidence for past lives from historical records, anthropological studies, and contemporary research.

Have you ever wondered if #Reincarnation is real? How young children exhibit extraordinary talents and insights that seem almost otherworldly? Some suggest that these children might bring these incredible talents to this earth from another lifetime. Take Jonah Ho, for example. He plays Chopin perfectly, an astonishing feat for a five-year-old child. But it's not just musical prodigies that make many wonder about reincarnation.

In the late 1960s and on into the next decade, the American pastor and bestselling author Francis Schaeffer regularly received requests from evangelicals across North America seeking his help to replicate his innovative learning community, L'Abri, within their own contexts. At the same time, an innovative school called Regent College had started up in Vancouver, British Columbia, led by James Houston and offering serious theological education for laypeople. Before long, numerous admirers and attendees of L'Abri and of Regent had launched Christian "study centers" of their own—often based on or near university campuses—from Berkeley to Maryland. For evangelical baby boomers coming of age in the midst of unprecedented educational opportunity and cultural upheaval, these multifaceted communities inspired a generation to study, pray, and engage culture more faithfully—in the words of James M. Houston, "to think Christianly." In To Think Christianly: A History of L'Abri, Regent College, and the Christian Study Center Movement (IVP Academic 2021), Charles Cotherman traces the stories of notable study centers and networks, as well as their influence on a generation that would reshape twentieth-century Christianity. Beginning with the innovations of L'Abri and Regent College, Cotherman elucidates the histories of several key institutions and individuals that gave rise to these study centers across North America. Each of these projects owed something to Schaeffer's and Houston's approaches, which combined intellectual and cultural awareness with compelling spirituality, open-handed hospitality, relational networks, and a deep commitment to the gospel's significance for all fields of study—and all of life. Cotherman argues that the centers' mission of lay theological education blazed a new path for evangelicals to fully engage the life of the mind and culture. Built on a rich foundation of original interviews, archival documents, and contemporary sources, To Think Christianly sheds new light on this set of defining figures and places in evangelicalism's life of the mind. Charles E. Cotherman (PhD, University of Virginia) is pastor of Oil City Vineyard Church in Oil City, Pennsylvania. He is the program director of the Project on Rural Ministry at Grove City College and has taught church history at Fuller Seminary and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Justin McGeary is the Director of Christian Studies at John Witherspoon College and a graduate student at Union School of Theology. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bienvenue au podcast Pasteur John vous répond. Je pense que nous sentons tous que le sujet de la technologie est important, et pourtant nous ne connaissons et ne comprenons pas vraiment tous les dangers à ce stade. La technologie, bien sûr, fait partie intégrante de nos vies. Nous l'utilisons en ce moment même.Je suis au téléphone avec le Dr Bruce Hindmarsh, historien et professeur de théologie spirituelle titulaire de la chaire James M. Houston au Regent College de Vancouver. Bruce, la plupart d'entre nous ne peuvent tout simplement pas se déconnecter et devenir des moines numériques. Nous devons donc maîtriser l'art du jeûne numérique. Quelles sont les aides pratiques pour bien faire cela ?
Nearly seven decades ago, a 21-year-old Navy fighter pilot on a mission over the Pacific was shot down by Japanese artillery. His name might have been forgotten, were it not for 5 year old, James Leininger.
