Is "biblical" always what it seems? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts unpack why the word "biblical" might not mean what you think and explore its misuse across faith, politics, and cultural issues. From examining how "biblical" has become a branding tool to discussing its role in sociological stress tests and power dynamics, this conversation challenges us to rethink how we approach scripture and the teachings of Jesus. The discussion delves into the complexity of interpreting the Bible, emphasizing the need to consider the text itself, the cultural context behind the text, and our own assumptions in front of the text. With deep humility and intellectual curiosity, the hosts highlight how faithful readings of scripture require dialogue, critical thinking, and a willingness to hold tension between differing perspectives. How does the Bible shape the church's role in society? What does it mean to navigate cultural challenges with cruciformity and justice in mind? Join the conversation as these questions and more are explored with nuance and authenticity.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:58 Exploring the Concept of 'Biblical' 05:55 The Sociological and Branding Aspects of 'Biblical' 08:49 The Ambiguity of 'Biblical' in Conversations 11:56 The Power Dynamics of 'Biblical' Language 15:04 The Clear Teaching of the Bible: A Nuanced Approach 17:55 Understanding Context: Behind and In Front of the Text 31:33 The Complexity of Biblical Teachings 36:28 Navigating Interpretations and Understanding 40:04 The Role of Community in Biblical Interpretation 49:07 The Nature of Communication and Misunderstanding 56:18 Unity in Biblical Diversity As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

In this weeks episode of inverted Orthodoxy, Pastors Kyle, Blake, and Doug answer the following long form question: Negative Impact of Modern Western Culture on Biblical MarriageModern Western cultures often prioritize individualism, personal fulfillment, and egalitarian values, which can conflict with traditional Biblical views of marriage. The emphasis on equality sometimes leads to the reinterpretation or rejection of roles traditionally seen as complementary in a Christian marriage. This cultural shift can create tension and misunderstandings regarding the Biblical model of marriage, where roles are often defined in terms of leadership and submission.2 Influence on Gender Roles in MarriageThe feminist movement has played a significant role in reshaping gender roles within marriage. The Biblical perspective of husbands as "heads" of the household and wives as submissive partners is often challenged, leading to:A) Redefinition of Leadership: Some contemporary Christians interpret leadership as a shared responsibility rather than a unilateral role. This has diluted the traditional concept of the husband's authority and leadership.B) Shift in Responsibilities: With both spouses often working, responsibilities can become more fluid and less traditionally defined, leading to a negotiation of duties that may not align with Biblical teachings.3 Misunderstanding of Scriptural TermsKey terms such as "obey," "submit," "honor," and "lead" carry profound meanings within the Biblical context. However, modern interpretations often lead to misconceptions:Obey and Submit: These terms can be perceived as oppressive. Biblical submission, however, is described as a mutual act of love and respect, where both partners submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21).Honor and Lead: The call to honor and lead may be misconstrued as dictatorial authority rather than a servant leadership style that reflects Christ's love for the church (Ephesians 5:25).4 Power Dynamics in the HomeThe push for gender equality has led to a re-evaluation of power dynamics in marriage:Men Failing to Lead: Some men may struggle with the concept of leadership. This can lead to a sense of inadequacy or confusion regarding their role.Wives Struggling to Submit: Women may find it challenging to allow their husbands to lead, especially if they have developed a strong independent identity or have experienced previous relationships where leadership was abused.5 Challenges in Letting Go and TrustingBoth partners face distinct challenges in navigating these dynamics:Trust Issues: For many women, trusting a husband to lead can be daunting. The fear of relational vulnerability complicates this trust.Fear of Ineffectiveness: Men may fear that stepping into a leadership role could lead to criticism or rejection of their decisions, which can perpetuate a cycle of indecision or avoidance of leadership.Cultural Pressures: Societal narratives often emphasize independence and self-sufficiency, which can create barriers to embracing a Biblical model of marriage that values interdependence and cooperation.6 Education and Church InfluenceThe diminished presence of the church in public schools and its influence on educational curriculums can have far-reaching implications:Curriculum Changes: As church teachings have receded from public education, secular narratives often dominate discussions on gender and sexuality. Curricula that emphasize gender fluidity, personal choice, and diverse family structures can contrast sharply with traditional Biblical teachings.Altered Narratives: This change can distort views of Biblical truths, especially among younger generations who may be less exposed to church teachings. As a result, children may grow up with values that prioritize individualism and personal autonomy over the communal and sacrificial aspects of Christian marriage.The Questions1 What advice would you give to couples currently struggling to establish a more Biblical Marriage? For those who recognize the negative impacts of modern influences on marriage and family dynamics, redirecting leadership roles can be a significant struggle. While the concept of gender equality holds value, it often fails to embrace or support the distinct and complementary roles that individuals play within marriage. 2 I can't help but wonder whether the rising divorce statistics are influenced by our collective rejection of these traditional roles and the subconscious effects of contemporary culture on our marital expectations. What are your thoughts? I believe as children of God, we are equals; however, it is essential to recognize that the genders are not designed to be identical. The differences in our design carry a profound significance that highlights how we complement one another, allowing us to unite as one and support each other in our respective roles. Embracing these unique attributes can enhance our relationships, leading to a more fulfilling and harmonious partnership.Resources for this episode: - The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr - The Marriage You Always Wanted by Sheila Wray Gregorie and Dr. Keith Gregorie -Nobody's Mother by Sandra Glahn Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessagePalm Sunday presents us with a profound theological question that goes beyond waving branches and shouted hosannas: Was Jesus Christ a political revolutionary? Through Pope Benedict XVI's illuminating work "Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week," we untangle this complex debate that has shaped Christian understanding for decades.Liberation theology, which emerged from Latin America during times of socioeconomic inequality, portrays Jesus as a champion of the oppressed who directly challenged Roman rule and religious elites. The imagery is compelling – a humble teacher riding a donkey into Jerusalem while crowds cheer, seemingly fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy about a king who would liberate the people. For communities suffering under oppression, this revolutionary Jesus offers a powerful model for social action.But Benedict presents a fundamentally different perspective. Without minimizing Jesus's concern for justice, he argues that viewing Christ primarily as a political revolutionary profoundly misunderstands His divine mission. The donkey wasn't a subversive jab at Roman imperialism but revealed a kingdom "not of this world" based on God's peace rather than worldly power. Similarly, the temple cleansing wasn't inciting class struggle but restoring God's sacred presence. Throughout his ministry – from the temptations in the desert to the Sermon on the Mount – Jesus consistently rejected violence as His path.This distinction matters deeply. If Jesus is merely a social reformer, Christianity becomes just another ideology rather than a transformative encounter with the living God. While liberation theology admirably emphasizes justice, Benedict warns it risks missing Christ's deeper spiritual purpose. On this Palm Sunday, we're invited to unite faith and action without reducing the Son of God to human political categories. Join us as we explore how properly understanding Jesus's entry into Jerusalem transforms our approach to both faith and justice today. How might your view of Christ's mission shape your own spiritual journey?Key Points from the Episode:• Liberation theology emerged from Latin America, interpreting Jesus through a lens of social and political liberation• Pope Benedict's three-volume series on Jesus Christ is respected across Christian denominations for its theological depth• Benedict argues Jesus deliberately rejected the zealot approach of violent revolution• The symbolism of riding a donkey fulfilled Zechariah's prophecy but represented God's peace, not political subversion• The temple cleansing was about restoring God's presence, not instigating class struggle• Framing Jesus as merely a social reformer risks reducing the Church to an NGO rather than the body of Christ• While liberation theology's commitment to justice is admirable, it can miss Christ's deeper spiritual missionKeep fighting the good fight and get your mojo on.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Ep. 175 (Part 2 of 3) | Longtime spiritual practitioner, gifted teacher, Tibetan Buddhist lama, and developmental psychology specialist Kimberley Lafferty integrates contemporary psychology and wisdom tradition in this lively, luminous conversation about the process of awakening, the evolution of ethics, and the extraordinary capacities that come online as we mature into later stages of development. What do developmental perspectives have to add to our understanding of human nature and to spiritual practice? Our meaning-making shifts radically as we develop, Kimberley says, and because of that our reality itself shifts. This is why communicating with people with very different points of view can fail so miserably—one person's reality is simply not the same as the next person's reality. We need to discern, what is their meaning-making reality in this moment? What is ours?Throughout, Kimberley grounds the discussion in practical, real-life scenarios; she also shares intriguing research on later stage development that has found that as we mature, our senses evolve: our hearing evolves to deep attunement; our seeing evolves to witnessing, our capacity of touch evolves to embody presence. It's exciting and inspiring to see the road ahead, to acquire new insights and tools to improve communication across cultural (and age) divides, to have the concept of bodhicitta unpacked so deftly and common misperceptions about emptiness corrected—and to witness Kimberley's wise and zesty approach to life: “What connects us all is our luminous, aware consciousness,” she says, “and if we can lean into the messiness, I think we can find our way through.” Recorded October 3, 2024.“If we have no traditional spiritual boundaries to teach our children, we end up raising narcissists.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 2Ethics involve intention: looking into the mind at the moment of intention (00:53)How to explain misuse and abuse of power in a spiritual organization?

I am the Law of Moses Mosaic of Redemption Essential Church March 23, 2025 SUMMARY The message explores the relationship between the Old Testament law and New Testament grace, highlighting several key points: 1. **Misunderstanding of Salvation**: It challenges the belief that salvation was achieved through law in the Old Testament and through grace in the New Testament, emphasizing that both Testaments focus on a relationship with God rather than mere rule-following. 2. **Purpose of the Law**: The law is depicted as a means to reveal God's character and humanity's inability to fulfill it perfectly. It serves as a reflection of God's heart and intentions for humanity. 3. **Role of Grace**: Grace is essential for salvation, as no one can fully keep the law. Jesus is portrayed as the only one who fulfilled the law, offering his life for the eternal life of others. 4. **Sin and Human Nature**: The law exposes human sinfulness and the tendency to rebel against God, illustrating that attempts to find happiness apart from God lead to sin. 5. **God's Heart for Humanity**: The laws are intended for the well-being of humanity, reflecting God's care for the poor and marginalized. They guide people toward a fulfilling life rather than restricting joy. 6. **Faith Over Works**: The Project emphasizes that a loving relationship with God, based on faith, is the foundation of salvation, rather than a checklist of good deeds. This summary encapsulates the main themes and teachings presented in the sermon, focusing on the interplay between law and grace in the context of Christian faith. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Understanding Salvation**: How do you interpret the relationship between law and grace in your own faith journey? Do you find yourself leaning more towards one than the other? 2. **Purpose of the Law**: In what ways do you think the law serves to reveal God's character? Can you identify specific examples from your life where you felt guided by these principles? 3. **Role of Grace**: How does the concept of grace influence your understanding of forgiveness and redemption? Can you share a personal experience where grace played a significant role? 4. **Sin and Human Nature**: Why do you think humanity struggles with the tendency to rebel against God? How can understanding this tendency help us in our spiritual growth? 5. **God's Heart for Humanity**: How do you perceive the laws of God in relation to societal issues today? In what ways can these laws guide us in addressing modern challenges? 6. **Faith vs. Works**: What does it mean to you to have a relationship with God based on faith rather than works? How can this perspective change the way we approach our daily lives and interactions with others?

Fiscal sponsorship is a great way for a new charitable organization to work with an existing 501(c)(3) to get up and running (including engaging in important advocacy) whether waiting to receive its own IRS tax-exempt status or not. Today, we're going to look at this topic form a different point of view – that is, from the fiscal sponsor's perspective. On this episode, we'll chat about considerations fiscal sponsors should keep in mind when engaging in, and when supporting projects engaging in, advocacy. And we're very happy to be joined today by Josh Sattely from Social Impact Commons.    Attorneys for this episode  Sarah Efthymiou  Melissa Marichal Zayas  Victor Rivera  Josh Sattely, Social Impact Commons    Shownotes  Overview of fiscal sponsorship   Our focus today is on 501(c)(3)s, but fiscal sponsors come in different forms, including 501(c)(4)s  There are different types of fiscal sponsorship, but the two most common are:  Model A (Direct/Comprehensive): Project operates within sponsor's organization.   Model C (Grant Relationship): Sponsor collects donations and grants funds to the project.  Why Advocacy Matters for Fiscal Sponsors   Enhances impact, credibility, and systemic change.  What type of advocacy is allowed under fiscal sponsorship?   Lobbying: Direct vs. grassroots lobbying.  Non-Lobbying Advocacy: Educational activities, voter engagement, rulemaking, corporate influence, litigation.    What are some of the Key Concerns for Fiscal Sponsors Engaging in Advocacy?   Differentiating advocacy, lobbying, and political activity.  Compliance and reporting at state/federal levels.  Best practices for educating projects on compliance:  Use existing resources like AFJ.   Discuss advocacy/lobbying expectations early.    Case studies of advocacy in action:   Network to Abolish the Death Penalty  Lift Louisiana, a fiscally sponsored project of Tides Center    Common Misconceptions About Advocacy & Fiscal Sponsorship   Overly conservative approaches due to funder restrictions.  Misunderstanding grant/lobbying reporting obligations.    Options for Projects Wanting to Go Beyond 501(c)(3) Limits   Form a 501(c)(4) or partner with an existing one.  Consider PACs or for-profit structures.    Key Takeaways  Stay engaged in advocacy but ensure compliance.   Push back on unnecessary funder lobbying restrictions.   Don't overlook state/local advocacy.   Consider existing (c)(4) partnerships before starting a new one.    Resources Social Impact Commons  Fiscal Sponsorship: 6 Ways To Do It Right by Gregory Colvin  Rules of the Game Podcast: Fiscal Sponsorship
