What do we do when people fail us in our greatest time of need? How can the church do a better job at entering into people's pain and walking with them in their stories?Dr. Michelle Keener walked through her own season of suffering and eventually found herself deep diving into Biblical research on the book of Job in the Bible through the lens of trauma. It was through her scholarly research that she was able to find principles that applied to her own pain and to the Church at large when it comes to helping trauma survivors. In her book **Comfort in the Ashes: Explorations in the Book of Job to Support Trauma Survivors**, she connects the story of Job-a man who knew incredible trauma and pain-to practical ways individuals and the church can show up in suffering. In this insightful episode, Aubrey sits with Dr. Keener to discuss how we can connect our own personal experiences of trauma to those in scripture, why the church struggles to help those who are hurting, and how the gospel applies to pain. If you've ever needed people to meet you in your pain and didn't find the support available or if you've ever struggled to know how to step into the pain of someone else, this conversation is a gentle reminder of how we can steward each other's stories well as we move through grief and trauma in life and how God is always there to comfort us in the ashes.

On today's episode of Restoring the Soul, Michael sits down with Dr. Michelle Keener, biblical scholar and author of the new book Comfort in the Ashes: Explorations in the Book of Job to Support Trauma Survivors. In this compelling conversation, Michelle shares the personal story and scholarly journey that led her to explore the Book of Job through the lens of trauma theory. Together, Michael and Michelle dig deep into how Job's ancient story parallels the experiences of trauma survivors today—from grief and ruptured worldviews to the silence that so often follows devastation.Michelle brings a rare combination of biblical expertise and lived experience, showing how Job's journey isn't just about suffering and eventual restoration but about what it means to wrestle with God, faith, and meaning after trauma. They discuss the church's struggle to meet the needs of trauma survivors, the importance of presence and lament, and how embracing a trauma-informed reading of scripture opens up new possibilities for healing, compassion, and honest faith.

Andrew discusses the responsibilities of a producer, of both the musical and interpersonal kind, and his initally-bumpy venture into producing, which began with a disastrous first session.

It's time for church leaders and believers to stop offering prettily packaged responses from a safe distance. It's time for us to sit in the ashes with the hurting, our Sunday clothes covered in dirt and grime, our faces lined with tears. Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the church needs to go.The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren't simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer for church leaders as they engage the pain in their congregations?Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In this incredible tool for ministry leaders and trauma survivors alike, Keener offers:deep wisdom at the intersection of trauma theory and the book of Job for Christian communitiesreflection questions for ministry practitioners and those walking alongside those who have experienced traumaengagement with the idea of a shattered worldview and how to overcome the effects of that experience.Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It's time for the church to do the same.1. You define trauma as a response to an event and not the event itself. Why is it important that events are not defined as trauma?2. In your book, you reference Judith's Herman's Three Stages of Recovery. What is it and why did you use Herman's concept?3. On page 49-51 you mention how it is common for people to present with Denial, Avoidance, and Shock as a standardresponse. However, this can lead friends and family to confuse their presentation with maturity or faithfulness, can you share more about that?4. In several places you insightfully point to the inner conflict of Job's friends. How does trauma challenge our ordinaryassumptions of how the world works? Can you also say moreabout The Retribution Principle?5. Toward the end of the book you mention how God comes to Job in his ashes. Why is this important for those who are desperate for hope?6. You mention the art of Kintsugi, how can this concept help us understand the trauma healing process?
In this episode of WAYPOINTS, we journey deep into the heart of Alaska's remote southwest to explore one of the most legendary rivers in the North – the Nushagak. Known simply as “the Nush,” this 280-mile wilderness river is famous for its massive runs of wild Pacific salmon, thriving populations of leopard rainbow trout, and a setting so remote that it's only accessible by bush plane or boat. Joining us are Dave Pishko and Sawyer Keener of Outpost on the Nush, a small, wilderness-based camp that delivers unmatched access to the upper river's most productive stretches. We dive into what makes this river so unique, the camp's deep history that dates back to 1982, and the challenges (and rewards) of running a truly off-the-grid fly fishing operation. Topics include gear, the guides, the logistics, and the conservation issues surrounding the Bristol Bay region. Whether you're an Alaska veteran, a trout fanatic, or someone who's always dreamed of an immersive fly fishing experience in the “Land of the Midnight Sun,” this one's for you.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions.

Are the Gospels historically reliable? In this episode, I sit down with renowned New Testament scholar Craig Keener to discuss his book Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels. We explore how the Gospels fit within the genre of ancient biography (bios), what that means for their historical accuracy, and how eyewitness testimony shaped the accounts of Jesus' life. Keener also addresses common objections about memory, oral tradition, and historical reliability, offering insights that challenge both skeptics and believers. Craig S.

You can find a deeper dive into Keener's book on my Substack.Check out Jenai at her website.SummaryIn this conversation, Jon Pyle and Jenai Auman delve into the complexities of 1 Corinthians 14, particularly the controversial verses regarding women's roles in the church. They explore the cultural context of Corinth, the misinterpretations of Paul's letters, and the importance of hermeneutical principles in understanding scripture. Jenai shares her journey through different theological perspectives and emphasizes the need for a nuanced approach to biblical interpretation, advocating for the empowerment of women in ministry and the church.TakeawaysThe cultural context of Corinth was chaotic and hedonistic.Paul's letters often address specific issues rather than providing comprehensive theology.Misinterpretations of scripture can lead to harmful applications in church settings.Hermeneutical principles are essential for understanding biblical texts accurately.Women played significant roles in the early church, often as leaders and supporters.Paul's intent was to bring order to disorder, not to reinforce patriarchal structures.The importance of educating women in the church is highlighted in Paul's letters.Contextualizing scripture is crucial for modern application and understanding.The church should reflect the inclusive nature of Christ's teachings.The conversation encourages humility and openness in theological discussions.

In Paul, Women & Wives, Dr. Craig S. Keener presents a substantive, Scripture-based defense for egalitarian theology, principles and practices. Join me as we explore the writings of Paul in a way that liberates women, not subjugates them. We're finally starting with the crux of the book: exegeting Paul's letters and diving into Scripture. Keener has divided his book into two parts. Part 1 is about the Roles of Women in the Church (Chapters 1-3). Part 2 is about Women's Role in the Family (Chapters 4-6). Chapter 1: Head Coverings in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 Keener presents several potential interpretations of the passage that are quite provocative, frankly. However, my takeaway was pretty simple: Paul's argument about head coverings isn't about “IF” women can pray or prophecy in the church (prophecy likely isn't too different from preaching in the modern context), but “HOW” they should do so.

Researchers have found teens in school years nine to 10 have the highest desire to quit when taught about the risks of the habit. The study involved 332 students across four Christchurch schools - and mostly between the ages of 13 and 15-years-old. This comes after the latest ASH Year 10 survey found regular vaping rates of 14 and 15-year-olds had dropped for a third year in a row. In the research students were given true and false statements to answer before and after they were given an information session about vaping risks as well as the tobacco industry's involvement in selling vaping products. The biggest takeaway the researchers found was the youngest who were quizzed - those in year 9 and 10 at school - showed more of a willingness to quit than the older. Dr Ben Wamamili is one of the authors of the research and talks to Kathryn about how it was done. Sharon Pihema from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation speaks about how the research lines up with her observations of working with young people trying to quit vaping.
In Paul, Women & Wives, Dr. Craig S. Keener presents a substantive, Scripture-based defense for egalitarian theology, principles and practices. Join me as we explore the writings of Paul in a way that liberates women, not subjugates them. Check this out on Substack! Introduction “All biblical passages may be for all time, but all biblical passages are not for all circumstances.” - pg 59 This quote is tattoo-worthy. If you engage with the Christian Scripture for any of length of time, with any seriousness, this phrase should be a mantra you should repeat. This is especially true for pastors, elders, group leaders or anyone else who may be preaching and teaching the Jewish or Christian Scriptures. And it's extremely pertinent to our discussion. The most common accusation levied at egalitarians is that we have a “low view of Scripture” or are throwing out whole chunks of God's Word to arrive at our conclusion that women can serve in the church in the same capacities as men and aren't the only party called to submit in the home. For some, that is true. Part of their faith journey (especially those that are deconstructing or recovering from painful church experiences) is how they relate to the Bible. Especially if it was wielded like a weapon in their communities to harm them or control them. Sometimes, that experience leads folks to view Scripture with skepticism or completely disregard its authority in their life and belief system, while still clinging to faith in Jesus. I have nothing but grace and compassion for my brothers and sisters who feel that way. However, that's not my experience. In fact, it is in my authoritative view of Scripture that led to my egalitarian theology. And understanding this quote is big reason why, as Keener will lay out in further chapters.

In this episode of the Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Michelle Keener discuss the traumatic events in Judges 19 and the importance of a trauma-informed reading of the passage. They explore the themes of betrayal, silence, and the failure of religious authority. They emphasize the need to give trauma survivors the space to tell their own stories and the importance of acknowledging their pain. Despite the darkness of the story, they find hope in the character of God, who sees and knows the suffering of the vulnerable. The conversation highlights the need for justice and righteousness in the face of evil.Key Takeaways: A trauma-informed reading of Judges 19 reveals the themes of betrayal, silence, and the failure of religious authority. Trauma survivors should be given the space to tell their own stories and have their experiences acknowledged. Despite the darkness of the story, there is hope in the character of God, who sees and knows the suffering of the vulnerable. The passage highlights the need for justice and righteousness in the face of evil.

In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Keener joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to discuss her upcoming book “Comfort in the Ashes: Explorations in the Book of Job to Support Trauma Survivors” and her study of the Book of Job through the lens of trauma. She explains that trauma is a response to an event that overwhelms our ordinary coping capacity and leaves a wound that remains unhealed. Dr. Keener explores the retribution principle in the book of Job, where Job's friends try to impose their agenda on his story, blaming him for his suffering. She also highlights the importance of the book's shift from prose to poetry, symbolizing the rupture of trauma and the messy middle of the survivor's journey.The conversation explores the themes of trauma, justice, apology, forgiveness, and meaning-making in the book of Job. It discusses the silence of the unrepentant and the longing for justice and acknowledgment of trauma survivors. They also address the tendency to rush forgiveness and the lack of emphasis on repentance. The importance of providing a meaning-making space for trauma survivors is emphasized while discussing the naming and provision for Job's daughters at the end of the book which symbolizes positive change and hope while suffering. Key Takeaways: · Trauma is a response to an overwhelming event that leaves an unhealed wound. The retribution principle in the book of Job reduces our relationship with God to a business transaction, causing harm and insecurity. · Trusted listeners are those who can hear and listen to a survivor's story without imposing their agenda. · The shift from prose to poetry in the Book of Job symbolizes the rupture of trauma and the messy middle of the survivor's journey. Trauma survivors often long for justice and acknowledgment of their pain, including an apology from the person who caused the trauma. The church sometimes rushes for forgiveness and neglects the importance of repentance, which can hinder healing and justice. Creating a meaning-making space for trauma survivors to process their experiences and find their meaning is crucial for their healing. The book of Job explores the tension between God as judge and adversary, reflecting trauma survivors' complex emotions and thoughts.Job's naming and provision for his daughters at the end of the book symbolize positive change and hope while suffering.

Today's episode of Back Porch Theology is a continuation of the hope-fertilizing conversation Alli and I got to have with Dr. Craig Keener – a world-renowned New Testament scholar, and commentarian, who currently serves as a professor at Asbury Theological Seminary. Dr. Keener is one of our heroes of faith, who by the way has graciously agreed to be on the teaching team at Kerygma '24 at the end of April so we're over the moon about that! He's widely respected for his scholarship – he's got a Ph.D. from Duke – but even more so for his gentle compassion. And it's in that spirit of kind humility that Dr. Keener dismantles the vitriolic yet increasingly popular claims that the Bible and those who order their lives by the promises and parameters prescribed in it are racist, misogynistic, and imperialistic. Mind you, people claiming to know God have often behaved despicably and His Word has been used to promote all kinds of horror throughout history. However, when people use God's Word to promote the mistreatment, marginalization, and murder of others, they've twisted and distorted it into something God Himself never intended because evil is not divinely causative. So grab a cup of coffee and your Bible and come hang out on the porch with us.
Ian Eskridge and James Fox broke down Charlotte's first full week and the other three's first weekend series on this episode of the FutureSox Podcast. A lot of good pitching performances on the farm from names like Cannon, Keener, and Eder. Also some big bat weeks from Wilfred Veras, Tim Elko, and Brooks Baldwin. They dove into the White Sox trades this week (Jose Rodriguez to the Phillies, and Alex Speas to the Athletics). They also went into when it will be a good idea for the White Sox to stop the nonsense and start playing younger players.
Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology took place in Wilmore, KY, on the campus of Asbury Theological Seminary, because Alli and I had the phenomenal privilege of spending time with one of our favorite – and I mean one of the most favorite of all our favorites – Bible scholars, Dr. Craig Keener. I quote or cite Dr. Keener all the time because his book on hermeneutics, his commentaries on the New Testament, and his classic Bible Background Commentary are some of the sturdiest scaffolding I've built my Christocentric belief system on. He's the one I paraphrase every time I say, “If you get out of the Bible what you were expecting to get out of the Bible, you need to raise your expectations!” because Dr. Keener is among the wise saints who've taught me that the redemptive truisms in this divine love letter we call the Bible are always bigger and better than our finite human minds can comprehend! His life's work proves that Scripture isn't a flat text to memorize or a proposition to study, but it provides a way for us to engage with the only true God who sees us and loves us, and is always in pursuit of our hearts. For Alli and I, getting to spend the day with Dr. Keener felt like being junior high kids who love singing in the choir but aren't particularly melodic, yet we got invited to harmonize with Pavarotti! And the best part about this conversation wasn't even the wisdom bombs he humbly dropped, y'all - it was how his heart is surely bigger than his extraordinary brain because even though Dr. Keener is a world-renowned New Testament scholar, almost every time he talked about the love Jesus has lavished him with, his eyes welled up with tears. I'm telling you, this man walks with God and just being in his presence helped us lean more fully into our Savior's embrace. So please grab a cup of coffee (or one of those fancy electrolyte-enhanced waters) and your Bible – unless you're picking dog hairs off your black jeans, of course – and come spend some time on the porch with us.

In this episode, we get to have a conversation with Dr. Craig Keener, a scholar with a Ph.D. from Duke University, and discuss miracles and continuationism. He emphasizes the biblical basis for the continuation of spiritual gifts, referencing Acts chapter two and the age between Jesus' first and second coming. Dr. Keener shares personal experiences with miracles and spiritual gifts, including witnessing healings and immediate answers to prayer. He also recounts a story of 28 witch doctors converting to Christianity in Indonesia.https://unrefinedpodcast.comMiracles Today book- https://amzn.to/436rBonhttps://craigkeener.com/https://asburyseminary.edu/faculty/craig-keener/https://www.youtube.com/@CraigKeenerPhDTimestamps:Introduction of Dr. Craig Keener (00:01:21)Dealing with Historical Objections (00:04:29)Challenging David Hume's Arguments (00:07:15)Personal Testimony and Introduction to Continuationism (00:11:57)Practical Cessationism (00:17:06)Biblical Foundation of Continuationism (00:22:37)The outpouring of the Spirit (00:23:02)The nature of prophecy (00:24:33)The temporary nature of gifts (00:30:26)Academic views on cessationism (00:33:59)Balancing the gifts and the giver (00:38:31)Personal experiences of miracles (00:41:37)Power encounters and the end times (00:45:30)Baptisms in Indonesia (00:45:56)Appreciation for Dr. Keener (00:46:33)Encouraging Bible Reading (00:47:09)Accessing Dr. Keener's Resources (00:48:07)
God's Reconciling Grace The Book of Philemon “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:17-19). “Slaves were found in all professions and generally had more opportunity for social advancement than free peasants; unlike the vast majority of slaves in the United States and the Caribbean, they were able to work for and achieve freedom, and some freed slaves became independently wealthy. This social mobility applied especially to the household slaves—the only kind of slave addressed in Paul's writings. Economically, socially, and with regard to freedom to determine their future, these slaves were better off than most free persons in the Roman Empire; most free persons were rural peasants working as tenant farmers on the vast estates of wealthy landowners.” Craig Keener “From the standpoint of ancient slave owners, the lost time of an escaped slave was lost money and was legally viewed as stolen property, to which one harboring him was liable. But more important, slaves themselves were not cheap, and Philemon might have already bought another slave to replace him.) Recapture normally meant severe punishment. Old Testament law required harboring escaped slaves (Deut 23:15–16), but Roman law required Paul to return Onesimus to his master, with serious penalties if he failed to do so. Paul uses his relationship with Philemon to seek Onesimus's release: in a standard “letter of recommendation,” one would plead with someone of equal (or sometimes lower) status on behalf of someone of lower status. Paul was not Philemon's equal socially or economically, but as his spiritual father he had grounds to claim the equality that characterized ancient friendship.” Keener Six Feautures Regarding God's Reconciling Grace God's Reconciling Grace Encounters Each of Us in An Undeserved State 2. God's Reconciling Grace Is Designed to Change Us 3. God's Reconciling Grace Should Motivate Us to Reconcile with Those We've Wronged “No Christian should grumble at extra demands of love. They are golden opportunities to draw on the reserves of divine love, and in so doing to become more fully oneself in Christ, more completely in the image of God, more authentically human. It is not merely Onesimus for whom Paul is here pastorally concerned.” N.T. Wright 4. God's Reconciling Grace Is Always Costly 5. God's Reconciling Grace Contains Within It the Power to Overcome Social Evils “Paul's message to Philemon goes beyond other documents of his time in not only pleading for clemency for an escaped slave but asking that he be released because he is now a Christian. So powerful was this precedent that many early U.S. slaveholders did not want their slaves to be exposed to Christianity, for fear that they would be compelled to free them; only in time was a distorted enough form of the Christian message available for use in sustaining slavery.” Craig Keener 6. God's Reconciling Grace Transforms Relationships “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all” (Romans 12:18).
