Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael J Murray

Cries for unity are common among evangelicals. "Who cares what it says on the sign, as long as you love Jesus," say many who long for a church without unnecessary divisions that can sometimes cause such pain within the body of Christ. Amen! But, while it is tragic to see a lack of unity where it should be had, it is certainly tragic to pretend theological unity where it cannot exist. How should Christians think about this? Jude will help us with that answer. From the speaker: I AM THE SUM OF MY PARTS . . . God has moved in my life through a number of powerful men and women of God from whom I have benefited greatly. There is nothing new under the sun, as it is said. For that reason, much of what you hear in these lectures is not unique to me. Most of it was likely gleaned from other sources. I want to be transparent about that and share my sources. In terms of biblical scholarship, I have been blessed by the work of Harold Hunter (my father), Craig Keener, David Allen, Malcom Yarnell, Tom Schriner, Johnathan Pritchett (with whom I co-host Trinity Radio), F.F. Bruce, Adam Harwood (with whom I have co-authored), Steve Gregg (with whom I have worked), and Bruce Ware. As for Christian apologetics, William Lane Craig (with whom I have lectured), Michael Licona (a personal friend), Gary Habermas, Norman Geisler, J.P. Moreland, William Dembski, Michael J. Murray, James White, Alvin Plantinga, and a host of others have impacted my thinking. Because I have been so impressed with the structure, organization, and delivery of his own audio commentary, I personally made request to Steve Gregg (who has served as a visiting professor for Trinity) that I might follow his model. In fact, he was delighted with the idea that I might largely follow his teaching outline. Why then, with so much great scholarship already available, would I want to add my voice? There are three reasons. First, I can imagine no more worthy endeavor than to study and proclaim the truths of scripture. Second, though I admire greatly the men listed above, I do not agree with any of them on all things. Third, God has blessed me with a humble audience that does not listen to these other voices. I hope that you will benefit from this passing on of knowledge.

I'm recently back from seeing my team of specialists up in Seattle. I go up to UW several times a year to consult about my lung disease. This trip I was able to consult with a rheumatologist who treats other patients with antisynthetase syndrome. As you know I take Rituxan (Rituximab, Ritux) as an infusion for my autoimmune disease. Part of how it works is it kills and keeps B cells from maturing. The COVID vaccine (and other MRNA vaccines) rely heavily on B cells to replicate and produce the autoantibodies that make the vaccines effective. While I've had 4 COVID vaccines at this point, I've been told to understand that they likely have limited effectiveness because of the Rituxan treatments I receive in an ongoing way. In Seattle, the consulting rheumatologist decided to test my blood for COVID antibodies to see what protection the vaccines have given me. I was warned that the labs might be confusing to understand and therefore, he said, "if you Spike Ig number is less than 1000," you have way too little protection and you should get monoclonal antibody treatment. When I read the labs the following day, my number was 5.7!!!! That number is so low, it looks like I've never had a vaccine much less four. I am, of course, a candidate for Evusheld, the monoclonal antibody treatment. Are you on an immune modifying drug? If so, get your doctor to test your antibodies? There are new ways to protect yourself. Have you had Evusheld? Are you on Rituxan and been taking COVID vaccines? Tell me about your experiences.

Thank you to those of you who have responded about this topic. In recent conversations, I've talked with some folks about their application for disability and with someone else who is thinking about leaving work because of illness/disability. At a time when managing the chaos of these diagnoses and their impacts: relationships ending, friendships changing, our bodies hurting, to also have our housing and finances also be jeopardized is terrifying. One has to leave work in order to apply for SSD (social security disability) and more than 80% of applicants are turned down the first time they apply. I expect that the government counts on people losing steam and not re-applying. 1) Research SSD Attorneys, they can help and they are not all created equal. 2) Many of you do not consider leaving work because of insurance. You may be right, but you may not be - engage the services of an insurance broker to get accurate information about your circumstances. I have better insurance NOW with Medicare and a supplement, than I did with a County job and Cadillac insurance. 3) If you are still working and your condition is new or worsening, your employer is likely required to follow the ADA or Section 504 to accommodate you. This might enable you to stay in the workforce longer. There are obvious and subtle ways that chronic illness impacts finances. I'd love to hear from you about the ways your finances have been affected by illness, pain, or disability. Book giveaways: I'll be having a drawing to give away two books. One is "My Pain Body Solution," by Michael J Murray, (https://greenleafbookgroup.com/titles/my-pain-body-solution) the other is "Walking on Pins and Needles," by Arlene Faulk (https://www.bookcellarinc.com/walking-pins-and-needles).

This will be the first of a few installments about finances and chronic illness. Poverty is both a cause and a result of chronic conditions. More than half of the US has a chronic condition. Thinking about my own experience and autoimmune disease, we carry a predisposition for these diseases, but they are often ignited by an illness, accident, injury or trauma. How much might poverty contribute this kind of disease expression? Worse outcomes and death can be traced to poverty. If my family and friends hadn't supported me financially, I would not still be living in this house. I first got sick with mono. After I'd taken some time off work to recover, I still wasn't recovered. The fatigue was so pervasive I had sit down to brush my teeth. Fortunately, I had some insurance for short and long term disability. On the day I received long term disability, I lost my health insurance. I could buy health insurance through COBRA at the price of more than our mortgage. I wouldn't be eligible for Medicare for more than 2 years. Our savings was outstripped by these hits to our income and expenses. Family and friends have gotten us through. I might be bankrupt by now. How do you support yourself with chronic illness or pain? What have been the hurtles or obstacles? What questions do you have about living with chronic conditions and managing our finances? Book giveaways: I'll be having a drawing to give away two books.

For my birthday a friend gave me an astrological reading. During that conversation, I was told that I have the gift of processing but can sometimes get stuck in doing that. She offered me the metaphor of a room with two doors. The one in front which represents the future is closed, the one behind me which is not quite closed, represents the past. The "not quite closed," is indicative of my tendency to keep working, processing, and holding on to the past. However, if I would just open the door in front of me, the wind created by that change would close the door behind me. The more actively I pursue what is in front of me, the better I can surrender and release the things behind me. Of course, I think about how this relates to chronic pain and illness. It is difficult to let go of who I once was: what I looked like, who I was in the world, what I was capable of doing. It has also been hard to imagine a future for myself... What is next? What can be next? Perhaps we should think in smaller terms. Maybe what's next is: listening to a whole podcast series, reading the complete works of an author, finish a whole coloring book. This just has to be the next thing. Next week I'll text a friend. I'll menu plan instead of eating based on what's in the fridge when I'm desperately hungry. How can I show up for myself so I can release myself from the things that have hooked me about the past? Book giveaways: I'll be having a drawing to give away two books.

The Evil God of the Old Testament?: With Mike WingerOne of our favorite guests is coming back this week. Mike Winger is the host of the Bible Thinker youtube channel. He will be with us this Monday to discuss what many think are contradictions between "the merciless God of the Old Testament and the merciful Jesus of the new."This is a rapidly growing view among professing believers and non-believers alike, causing many to distort and manipulate the meaning of scripture, or modify the nature of God. We are so excited to have Mike Winger with us this Monday to tackle this ever-growing issue in modern evangelicalism. ____________________________________________________________________________________Help Support The Channelhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6____________________________________________________________________________________Recommended Resources for further studyThe Morality of God in the Old Testament (Christian Answers to Hard Questions)By Gregory Beale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1596388528/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_675XDbXBNPXMMIs God a Moral Monster?: Making Sense of the Old Testament God by Paul Copan https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801072751/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Sn4XDb32VKTN0Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament: Three Volumes in OneChristopher Wright https://www.amazon.com/dp/0830825924/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_765XDbVR4GRJKShow Them No Mercy 4 Views on God and Canaanite Genocide -(Counterpoints In Bible and Theology). https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310245680/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Mk4XDbZN4NDYD________________________________________________________________________________________Divine Evil?: The Moral Character of the God of Abraham.
