So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
It's possible. According to Scot McKnight, Revelation's main purpose isn't speculation, it's encouragement to follow Jesus as a dissident disciple. Scot McKnight is a renowned speaker, writer, professor, and equipper of the church. Jodie and Scot dive into the topic of interpreting the book of Revelation and the influence of the speculative approach known as dispensationalism. McKnight shares his belief that Revelation was written to help readers become dissident disciples - followers who resist the influence of evil “Babylon” and instead live as hope-filled followers of Jesus. He unpacks the symbolic characters and drama in the book, pointing out that there are two teams, Team Dragon and Team Lamb. And gives the spoiler that Team Lamb wins, so choose wisely whose team you are on. (I bet you already knew how the story ended!) The episode concludes with a hopeful exploration of Revelation's vision of a new heaven and earth, where God dwells with humanity and suffering is eliminated. Timestamped highlights: 00:02:21 Confusion surrounds the Book of Revelation based on our future speculation. 00:06:40 What is dispensationalism? 00:09:08 How to read Revelation: wisdom, witnesses, worship against Babylon. 00:14:56 Characters in Revelation: Team Lamb vs. Team Dragon. 00:20:50 "Babylon: a timeless dragon of destruction and death" 00:27:06 Recognize Babylon to live as dissident disciples. 00:31:15 Finding hope in the future: New Jerusalem replaces Babylon; it is new but continuous. 00:37:21 Revelation's message: Encouragement, faith, and a victorious team.

In this special broadcast of Kingdom Roots with Scot McKnight, we highlight the exceptional work by Lisa Bowens on the Apostle Paul. In African American Readings of Paul, she surveys a wealth of primary sources from the early 1700s to the mid-twentieth century, including sermons, conversion stories, slave petitions, and autobiographies of ex-slaves, many of which introduce readers to previously unknown names in the history of New Testament interpretation. Along with their hermeneutical value, these texts also provide fresh documentation of Black religious life through wide swaths of American history. African American Readings of Paul promises to change the landscape of Pauline studies and fill an important gap in the rising field of reception history.

Why are single Evangelical women leaving the church? Evangelical Christianity is often thought of as oppressive to women. The #MeToo era, when many women hit a breaking point with rampant sexism, has also reached evangelical communities. Yet more than thirty million women in the United States still identify as evangelical. Why do so many women remain in male-dominated churches that marginalize them, and why do others leave? In each case, what does this cost them? In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot and Laura talk to Katie about her new book. "The Struggle to Stay" is an intimate and insightful portrait of single women's experiences in evangelical churches. *Purchase your copy of The Struggle to Stay - https://amzn.to/3PGQ1wO *Amazon Affiliate Link

How do you respond to human need? Imagination is at the center of Jesus’ Kingdom taking root. In the parable of the sheep and the goats Jesus invites his followers to imagine the depths of Jesus’ love and the importance for that love to be present in His followers. To follow Jesus as King means to meet human need with compassion like Jesus. What you will find is that being a sheep is the most incredible journey one could ever embark.

Throughout Scripture and church history, women have been central to the mission of God. But all too often women have lacked opportunities to minister fully. Many churches lack visible examples of women in ministry and leadership. This can and should be changed. Scot and Tara Beth continue their conversation about how women can be emboldened to do the ministry they are gifted to do. When women teach, preach, lead, evangelize, pastor, and disciple, the church's imagination expands to better reflect God's story and hope for the world. Interested in Tara Beth’s new book?

Vision is necessary for any type of movement to take root. Paul had a vision from God on what the local church should look like. This unique and inclusive vision for Paul’s churches was able to take root so powerfully through embracing the great gospel experiment. Paul’s challenge for the church was to live out this vision that demonstrates to the world God is creating a new community that embodies God’s redemptive work in Christ.

Have you ever had to give up something of value to gain something else of greater value? In these parables Jesus illuminates the fact that following Jesus in discipleship is costly, but also well worth the cost. There is great joy that comes when the true value of Jesus’ Kingdom is discovered and embraced. Jim Elliott captures it well when he says, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” Be sure not to miss an episode of Kingdom Roots with Scot McKnight by subscribing to the podcast on iTunes (https://goo.gl/G9gMfC ) or Sticher (https://goo.gl/uNZKlF)
Following the Church calendar is one of the most powerful ways to embrace and be shaped by the gospel in discipleship. God has blessed the Church with the Church calendar as an opportunity to physically remember and be transformed by embodying the greatest events of God’s people. Scot shares about his journey of paying more attention to the Church calendar and why he began to spend more time remembering the great events of God through embodying them in the Church calendar.

What would it have looked like to have the Apostle Paul as your Pastor? In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot investigates what people think about when they think of the word pastor. There are four major models of pastoral responsibilities that Scot sheds light on and invites the Apostle Paul to speak into. Studying Paul as a pastor is necessary if the Kingdom is going to take root now as it took root for Paul and the early church.

The majority of earth’s inhabitants believe in angels. Yet many of us cannot claim to have seen one. Why? Perhaps it’s because in order to encounter one, we first have to learn what to look for and how to look! We live in a world where the natural and supernatural overlap. Angels are constantly on mission from God and constantly at work in the world. From the Garden of Eden to the book of Revelation, Scripture is filled with hundreds of references to these wondrous creatures. In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot McKnight begins to unpack what the Bible says—and doesn’t say—about these majestic beings.

What is the future of Evangelicalism? Scot begins to answer this question and more by defining how the term “Evangelical” has been used and how the people who claim the title have engaged in society. The story of Evangelicalism is a fascinating one. Scot makes some very important suggestions on what the Church as a whole can learn from the good and bad parts of Evangelicalism.

Beverly Gaventa explains how when reading the book of Romans, we often focus on the quotable passages, making brief stopovers and not staying long enough to grasp some of the big ideas it contains. She invites readers of Romans to linger in Romans and to consider Paul’s admonition, how Abraham is involved in Paul’s message, and how worship is expressed in ethics.

This week David Fitch sits down with Scot McKnight to talk about some of the new projects they are working on. This is a crossover episode between Theology on Mission and Kingdom Roots.
In our quest to renew the church, Christians have walked through seeker-friendly, emergent, missional, and other movements to develop new expressions of the body of Christ. Now in the post-Christian world in North America we're asking the question again: Is there a way to be the church that engages the world, not by judgment nor accommodation but by becoming the good news in our culture? In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot has a conversation with noted pastor, scholar, and his friend David Fitch about his new book, Faithful Presence. In Faithful Presence, David gives a new vision for the witness of the church in the world. He argues that we have lost the intent and practice of the sacramental ways of the historic church, but those ways can be rediscovered if the church goes back to the practices that anchored the church from its birth.

When God calls His people into mission He doesn’t call individuals, rather He calls a community. Paul exemplifies this reality with his missionary friends. These friends are indispensable to how God used Paul to bring the kingdom to take root in the 1st Century world. Some of Paul’s closest missionary friends included Priscilla and Aquila who provide a beautiful example of an entire household doing ministry together. Epaphras is another great example of how Paul befriended a nonbeliever, led them into a relationship with Jesus, and sent them out to do ministry. Have a question for Scot?

Theology needs the Church and the Church needs good theology. This episode dives into the reason of why the Church and Theology cannot be mutually exclusive. If the Church is to do good theology, Church leaders need to understand it is a life long commitment of study that centers on allowing oneself to be soaked in how Scripture itself does theology. Scot mentions three books to get started on the journey of doing good theology: 1) The Great Theologians: A Brief Guide by Gerald McDermott ( http://goo.gl/KWLrwi) 2) The Story of Christian Theology by Roger Olson (http://goo.gl/YpQ2po) 3) Reading Backwards by Richard Hays (http://goo.gl/LjanXr) Be sure not to miss an episode of Kingdom Roots with Scot McKnight by subscribing to the podcast on iTunes or Sticher.
