In this episode, Kim Dickson talks with Dr. Nijay Gupta about the New Testament women he highlights in his Book Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church. Women who are little known to the average contemporary Christian come alive as Nijay discusses the world in which these remarkable women lived, served, and suffered on behalf of Jesus. Nijay describes the importance of letter carriers in the Roman world and the significance of Paul choosing Phoebe for this important work. He also discusses the translation and theological issues that hid Junia's apostleship as a woman. Bio Dr. Nijay K. Gupta is professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He has written or edited over twenty books including A Beginner's Guide to New Testament Studies, Paul and the Language of Faith, and the award-winning and bestselling Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church.

If you didn't know, the Old Testament has some pretty crazy stories. One of the challenges in understanding ancient texts like Ruth is the vast cultural gap between then and now. Ruth unfolds against the backdrop of the time of the judges, a period marked by moral decline and spiritual turbulence in Israel. In this episode, Whit and Casey take a deep dive into the cultural, historical, and biblical context of the story.

Dr. Randy Richards is the retiring Provost and Chief Academic Officer and will be the Research Professor of New Testament at Palm Beach Atlantic University. He has authored several books and articles, including Inscriptions and Papyri in the forthcoming ALNTS series (with James Harrison) and Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes (with Richard James).

Perhaps most inspirational is her challenge to loosen our grip on our passions and plans.

In this fourth and final episode in our “scandal of Christmas” series, New Testament scholar Dr. Joey Dodosn walks us through parallel birth narratives in the Greco-Roman and Jewish environment of the New Testament.

Dr. Joseph (Joey) Dodson is associate professor of New Testament. He studied at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and the University of Tübingen in Germany. In addition to many academic and devotional essays, he has written a number of articles for top-tier, peer review journals such as Harvard Theological Review, Novum Testamentum, the Journal for Jewish Studies, and Catholic Biblical Quarterly,. His most recent books include The Things I Want to Do: Romans 7 Revisited (forthcoming), A Little Book for New Bible Scholars with E. Randolph Richards (2017) and a co-edited volume with David E.

Most importantly, Joey is my best friend. Theology in the Raw Conference - Exiles in Babylon At the Theology in the Raw conference, we will be challenged to think like exiles about race, sexuality, gender, critical race theory, hell, transgender identities, climate change, creation care, American politics, and what it means to love your democratic or republican neighbor as yourself.

What makes the biblical languages so important? Because the Bible was written in another time and culture, we need to honor its ancient historical context and original languages as we read and study it. In this week's podcast episode, Tim, Jon, and Carissa explore why an awareness of the Bible's culture––and our own––can help us be better interpreters of the Bible.View full show notes from this episode →Timestamps Part one (00:00-15:00)Part two (15:00-20:30)Part three (20:30-33:15)Part four (33:15-44:45)Part five (44:45-58:37)Referenced ResourcesThe Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament, Sandra L.

In this very first episode we answer some questions to tell you a little bit about ourselves, the things we like and where we're coming from. We nerd out on movies, books, and even coffee, but most importantly Adrian admits to being a Star Wars fan. In this podcast we'll discuss the intersection of faith and culture, sharing our thoughts, but also the way Grace Community Church navigates the hard and even uncomfortable at times topics we all face, have faced, or will face. But for right now, enjoy this first conversation with Adrian Early, Alan-Michael Sprinkle, and Christina Redman. Linked below are the books we discussed for reference.

So we can trust that the biblical writings are accurate… but what do we do with them? How can something written to people of a different culture, language, and place 2000 years ago apply to anything happening in our lives now?

With such wide ranging perceptions of the apostle Paul present in our modern context, how should the Christian, one who wants to be faithful to the biblical text but also relevant for his own time, engage with the Pauline letters of the New Testament? Should the writings of Paul be the center of how we understand the Christian faith? Are the epistles supposed to be viewed as theological textbooks or something else entirely? Who decides which sections of Paul's letters apply to our lives today and which don't? All that and more on this edition of Questions from the Pew!RESOURCES:Paul: A Biography, by N.T.

Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon along with hosts Knox and Jamie as they strap on cultural goggles to unpack some controversial scripture, explore the recent history of women in the Church, and provide a gentle rebuke to some salty blog boiz in our most egalitarian episode yet.

Next week we'll be back with a brand new episode of The Link: A Conversation about God and Politics Part 2. Trust us, you won't want to miss it!What are the two things you are not supposed to talk about at the dinner table? Religion and Politics. Politics are a topic that can be profoundly Biblical, but unfortunately, in the wrong hands can be equally divisive. On tonight's episode of The Link, joining Senior Pastor Chris Brooks is Jon Morales, Royal Oak Campus Pastor, Ryan Russell, Pontiac Campus Pastor, and James Muffett, Founder of the Students Statesmanship Institution for a conversation on how we as Christians can engage politics in a Biblical and God-honoring way.

Philippians 1:12-18, 1 Corinthians 4:9-13, 2 Corinthians 6:4-10, Romans 8:281 Corinthians 4:9-132 Corinthians 6:4-10“At some point in this generation, "Take up your cross and follow me" changed into, "Come to Jesus and he'll make your life better.” E. Randolph Richards, Misreading Scripture through Western Eyes13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[c] and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.14 And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.No matter what happens, all of you live as Citizens of the Gospel of the King15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach the King out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.The Redemptive EdgeThe God we worship is able to take evil, cut into it with redemption and dig out good!1. Some People Get Angry at God2. God is in ControlThe Gospel hope is not that everything that happens to you is the will of God!The Gospel hope is that no matter what happens to you, God is with you!28 And we know that in all things God works for the good…28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.“What has happened to me”The Redemptive Edge: How has God cut into that?Because of _________ I rejoice!
Philippians 1:3-11“Western societies are, by and large, individualistic societies. The most important entity in an individualistic culture is the individual person. This misreading of Scripture arises from combining our individualism with a more subtle, deeply hidden and deeply rooted aspect of our Western worldview: we still think the universe centers around us.” E. Randolph Richards, Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes“If we're not careful, our individualistic assumptions about church can lead us to think of the church as something like a health club. We're members because we believe in the mission statement and want to be a part of the action. As long as the church provides the services I want, I'll stick around. But when I no longer approve of the vision, or am no longer "being fed," I'm out the door. This is not biblical Christianity. Scripture is clear that when we become Christians, we become-permanently and spiritually-a part of the church. We become part of the family of God, with all the responsibilities and expectations that word connotes in the non-Western world.”E. Randolph Richards, Misreading Scripture with Western EyesThe lavish, opulent, untamed, raw, scandalous blessing of God! Unearned, undeserved, illogical, and disproportionate… Poured out through Christ over every facet of your life, and the living presence of the Creator God deep inside of you, poured out through the Holy Spirit with limitless power to live out, and up to, God's calling on your life!Ending Prayer:9 And this is my prayer: that our love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that we may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of King Jesus, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
