Was Gen-Z at TGC? Beginning with that strange question, today's episode of the FTC Podcast transitions to a conversation about the calling of young adults for Christ's kingdom. At some point in the last fifty years, our society began to see the young adult years as a season of life when you can just “figure things out” and have as much fun as possible while you do. Of course, our teens and twenties can be fun. And no college student or young adult in a first job can know what the next ten to fifteen years will hold. But these decades are also the launching pad for the rest of your life. Young adults will have opportunities to make an eternal difference. After all, they're on mission now. Jesus's commissioning is all that is needed to love God, love people, and witness to the truth of the gospel. Jared Wilson visits with returning guest, author and pastor Jeremy Writebol, about his new book Make It Your Ambition, which presents young adults with seven worthy pursuits to ignite young people's imaginations to discover what a life marked by robust, gospel-fueled, and Spirit-filled obedience can look like.

Is there a particularly Christian way to approach sports? Does the Bible say anything about it?

This week the guys decide to touch one of the touchiest subjects in the church -- money. What's it really for? Why is it so difficult to talk about among Christians? How can we best steward it? And how is generosity a reflection of worship?

The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return—but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel. In The Ascension of Christ: Recovering a Neglected Doctrine (Lexham Press), Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world. Dr. Patrick Schreiner is Associate Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross and Matthew, Disciple and Scribe.

Wonder and awe of the beautiful is essential to the human experience. Our souls are often shaped and formed by the aesthetic experiences provided by the Creator. When we neglect this aspect of our lives, we fail to realize how God has created us uniquely to not only enjoy beauty, but to also create the beautiful. A distinctly Christian vision of these realities opens our eyes to see how God has enchanted our world to draw us toward Him, the source and substance of beauty, for a deeper experience of the Christian life. On this episode, Jared Wilson talks with pastor and author Matt Capps about his new book Drawn by Beauty and the place of awe and wonder in the Christian life. We even talk about Christian movies!

A Heart for Giving: Connie Jenkins' Mission to Equip the Next Generation for ChristConnie Jenkins wears many hats — devoted follower of Christ, champion of women's ministry, wife, mother, philanthropist, deer hunter, and trustee at Cedarville University. But above all, she is a woman on a mission to make a lasting impact for God's Kingdom.Connie's unwavering dedication to Christian education and her well-earned title as Cedarville's 2024 Honorary Alumna of the Year is celebrated on this episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast.Though Connie officially joined the University's Board of Trustees in 2021, her love for Cedarville started long before.Her connection to the University began 20 years ago when she first met Joy White, Cedarville's first lady, at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. That meeting left an impression, and years later, Joy and her husband, Cedarville President Dr. Thomas White, knew Connie would be the perfect addition to the board — someone whose passion for discipleship aligned with the heart of the University.But Connie's impact extends far beyond Cedarville. She and her husband, Bill, found success in the financial markets of Louisville, Kentucky — a blessing they never took for granted. Instead of holding onto their wealth, they embraced a calling to give it away for God's glory. Their generosity has helped build churches, equip Christian leaders, and expand ministries that spread the Gospel.Their giving journey began after 9/11, when Connie felt a deep conviction to do more for Christ. That calling led them to support their local church's expansion, and from there, they sought out even greater Kingdom-building opportunities.The Jenkins' legacy now includes the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the Spurgeon Center and Library at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Scharnberg Business and Communication Center at Cedarville.Through their generosity, they have helped equip students, train pastors, and strengthen Christian education, all with the goal of shining the light of Christ to the nations.Join us on this inspiring episode as Connie shares her heart for giving, her love for Cedarville, and the deep joy that comes from faithful obedience to God's call.https://share.transistor.fm/s/6009ea34https://youtu.be/JIteUz_lDH8
