“Civility is not the whole story in life,” Richard Mouw said. “But we often take incivility much too far.”  Online, in face-to-face relationships, and even at church, this statement has proven true time and again in recent years. Mouw—author, theologian, and former president of Fuller Seminary—says that in a world of ridicule, Christians can still be people who honor the humanity of others. Mouw and Moore discuss political division, patriotism in worship services, and the powerful draw of specific candidates to certain demographics. They talk about the rise in female leadership, the sense of lostness many men feel amid cultural shifts, and the idea that bitterness and anger are often forms of grief. Mouw and Moore talk about what Calvinism can bring to the church today, whether they believe they'll be surprised by the faces they see in eternity, and how to live in light of the kingdom.

How to be a Patriotic ChristianThe topic of Christian nationalism takes us into deep questions of how we understand and live out our allegiances to both our country and the kingdom of God, how we ought to relate to our neighbors, and how we should pursue justice and flourishing within our nation. It's also a topic rife with confusion and uncertainty. But what is Christian nationalism, and how is it different from a robust patriotism? On our podcast we explore these questions with scholars and authors Richard Mouw and Paul D. Miller who help us distinguish between living out one's faith in the public square and instrumentalizing faith for political ends:"Because I think America is in fact, so great, it means it is so tempting to idolize America because it's just one of the greatest things. Anything we idolize becomes destructive, and it can be destructive individually of our spiritual lives. But when you idolize a nation, that nation can be unbelievably destructive." - Paul D. MillerThis podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2023. Watch the full video of the conversation here, and learn more about Richard Mouw and Paul D. MillerWe hope that this conversation has been helpful in articulating what it means to be a patriotic Christian, and in offering better language and frameworks for wrestling with questions of how to live out our faith in the public square.Authors and books mentioned in the conversation:Uncommon Decency: Christian Civility in an Uncivil World, by Richard MouwPluralisms and Horizons, by Richard MouwPraying at Burger King, by Richard MouwHow to Be a Patriotic Christian: Love of Country as Love of Neighbor, by Richard MouwThe Religion of American Greatness: What's Wrong with Christian Nationalism, by Paul D.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Work that Physically Lasts for EternityDevotional: 4 of 5For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. (1 Corinthians 3:11-15)We're in a 5-week series exploring this wild idea that some of the work has the chance of literally, physically lasting into eternity. The question, of course, is which work? Scripture doesn't tell us explicitly. But it does give us some clues.As we saw last week, it appears that some acts of evil will carry on, so long as in their redeemed state they bring God greater glory. The nail scars in Jesus's hands certainly fit that bill. Isaiah 2:4 says that some swords and spears will last, but they will be turned into “plowshares and...pruning hooks,” which will point to Christ's glory and victory over all wars and violence.But while Scripture alludes to the idea that these cultural goods we would call "evil" will be redeemed, my guess is that God will deem many things totally irredeemable. "What about intercontinental missiles or nuclear submarines? Or pornographic movies?” Dr. Richard Mouw asks. “[Isaiah 60] seems to be sensitive to these kinds of questions. The things [Isaiah] mentions....are items that seem quite capable of being employed in a ‘redeemed' environment.”But today's passage may be the most instructive of all in helping us discern which work will survive for eternity. Paul says that fire will ”test the quality of each person's work” and implies that the work done with "gold, silver, [and] costly stones” will be the only work that “survives” judgment. What do these metaphorical substances represent? Pastor Skye Jethani says they represent “works of high quality” and are consistent "with the character of God." I've read dozens of similar answers to that, and I think Jethani is directionally right. Here's how I'd summarize my biblically informed guess as to which work will last for eternity: Any work we do with excellence, love, and in accordance with God's commands that, if redeemed, will bring God greater glory.Based on that, here are some practical questions for you to meditate on today:Are you designing your client's website with excellence and with all your heart?Are you building your business with genuine love of every stakeholder? Are you creating lesson plans in obedience to God's commands?If so, Scripture gives you reason to hope that your work will literally last into eternity. That one day, you might ride the ships of Tarshish into the New Jerusalem with artifacts of your work in hand, and lay them down at the feet of Jesus as an offering of worship.I pray that motivates you to work with excellence, love, and in accordance with God's commands today!

What does it mean to love one's country? If the powers that be are ordained by God, does that mean we should not criticize them? What about expressions of patriotism in our church worship? What about using religious language in celebrating national holidays? Is civil religion a bad thing?

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Work that Physically Lasts for EternityDevotional: 2 of 5The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into [the New Jerusalem]. (Revelation 21:26)To quote a fictionalized Alexander Hamilton, I think we all "wanna build something that's gonna outlive [us]." Today, we'll begin to see the biblical evidence that that longing is shockingly, miraculously true.In Revelation 21, John is sharing his glimpse of heaven on the New Earth when he says this about the New Jerusalem: “On no day will its gates ever be shut…The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it” (Revelation 21:25-26). What is John talking about? Thankfully, we don't have to wonder, because Isaiah answers that question for us in Isaiah 60. And even though Isaiah wrote some 600 years before John, theologians such as Dr. Richard Mouw agree that “both men were working with the same material.” And so, as Dr. Randy Alcorn points out, “Isaiah 60 serves as the best biblical commentary on Revelation 21–22.”And in that commentary, Isaiah says this: “Your gates will always stand open…so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations” (Isaiah 60:11). This language is nearly identical to John's. But Isaiah goes on to list out what some of “the wealth of the nations” are. They include "the ships of Tarshish" (v. 9), "incense" from the nation of Sheba (v. 6), and refined "silver and gold" from some unnamed nation (v. 9). Ships, incense, refined silver and gold—these are all works of human hands. And Isaiah and John are watching Jesus accept these acts of culture as gifts to adorn the New Jerusalem. The implication here is startling. These prophetic visions seem to suggest that some of the works of our hands—the product you're building, the book you're writing, the truck you're repairing—have the chance of physically lasting into eternity.N.T. Wright, whom Christianity Today has called “the most prolific biblical scholar in a generation” summarizes this idea beautifully, saying, “You are not oiling the wheels of a machine that's about to roll over a cliff. You are not restoring a great painting that's shortly going to be thrown on the fire….You are…accomplishing something that will become in due course part of God's new world."This all sounds too good to be true. Should these passages be taken literally as I'm suggesting? Dr. Mouw says yes: Isaiah and John “are not merely engaging in utopian speculation.” They are “given a glimpse of things that the Lord will surely bring to pass.”But as brilliant as Dr. Mouw is, we shouldn't just take his word for it. Which is why next week, we will look at other evidence in Scripture that our work has a shot at lasting forever.

Carmen talks about our faith being both a declaration as well as an invitation and the need for us to stand up by telling others the difference between what's true versus what's false. Richard Mouw, author of "How to Be a Patriotic Christian: Love of Country as Love of Neighbor," shares why we as Americans need to embrace a patriotism of compassion.

Welcome to episode seventy-six of New Creation Conversations. My guest today is the incredibly gifted writer and Christian philosopher, Dr. James K.A. Smith. I have really been looking forward to having this conversation for a while. Jamie and I became friends about twenty-five years ago when he was a young professor at Loyola-Marymount University, and I was early in my teaching career at Southern Nazarene University. We both got accepted into a summer study program at Calvin College to study “eschatology and hope” with Dr. Miroslav Volf. It was a very enriching summer intellectually and spiritually. However, part of the benefit of the program was that Calvin invited us to bring our families with us for the six weeks we were there. It just happened that Jamie and his wife Deanna, and Deb and I both had four kids all around the same age and so we got to hang out as families.The group that summer had several very gifted and bright people in it, but it didn't take long for us to figure out that Jamie was gifted in unique ways. Eventually Calvin invited him to join their very prestigious philosophy faculty – a faculty that in the past has included names like Richard Mouw, Alvin Plantinga, and Nicholas Wolterstorff. Jamie now is Professor of Philosophy and the Gary and Henrietta Byker Chair in Applied Reformed Theology and Worldview. In these last two decades Jamie has written some of the most widely read and greatly influential books of this generation. We will talk about several of them in our conversation, but some of the best known are Who's Afraid of Postmodernism?; How (Not) to Be Secular (CT winner); the award-winning Desiring the Kingdom (CT winner); You are What You Love, and more recently On the Road with St. Augustine (CT winner). He's also written for the Wall Street Journal, the nY Times, The Washington Post, USA Today… well, you get the point.Jamie has an amazing story of both coming to faith in Christ and becoming a scholar – which he I got him to tell pieces of in our conversation. He's a graduate of the University of Waterloo. Did his Master's in Philosophy at the Institute for Christian Studies, and earned his PhD in Philosophy from Villanova University. A lot of our conversation centers on his brand-new book, How to Inhabit Time: Understanding the Past, Facing the Future, Living Faithfully Now (Brazos Press). It is exactly what you would expect from Jamie, a rich, thoughtful, well-written, and transformational textJamie makes a very short list of four or five people who have shaped my own journey and my thinking the most, it's fun that I also get to call him a friend. Thanks for listening in to this New Creation Conversation. Here's my conversation with Dr. James K.A. Smith.

For centuries Americans have valued their liberty, but a growing number of conservatives are now saying cherished values like the freedom of speech, religion, and the press have allowed progressive beliefs to destroy the culture. In response, some Republicans and conservative Christian thinkers argue it's time to abandon these failed American ideals and copy the fascist, illiberal strategies of leaders like Hungary's Victor Orban to stop immigration, fight wokism, and to ensure the government supports Christian beliefs. Then, a new article about the separation of families at the Southern border brings Phil to tears, and he pleads with evangelicals to not allow Trump near the presidency again. Skye interviews Dr. Richard Mouw about his new book, “How to Be a Patriotic Christian: Love of Country as Love of Neighbor.” They discuss godly versus idolatrous forms of patriotism, what the Bible says about the proper role of government, and debate whether churches should display flags and sing patriotic hymns.  Bonus Patreon news story - https://www.patreon.com/posts/70304989 News Segment 0:00 - Intro 3:38 - "How the American Right Fell in Love with Hungary" 39:22 - Trump administration's family separation policy 54:24 - With God Daily https://withgoddaily.com/ Interview with Richard Mouw "How to Be a Patriotic Christian: Love of Country as Love of Neighbor" - https://amzn.to/3QdVR9E 55:48 - Interview intro 57:10 - Talking with evangelicals about patriotism 59:27 - Defining Christian nationalism 01:01:07 - Healthy patriotism and familial language 1:04:26 - Romans 13 and governmental authority 1:17:49 - Patriotic symbols in worship services 1:30:59 - Credits Other articles/resources mentioned:"How the American Right Fell in Love with Hungary" (The NYT Magazine)-https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/19/magazine/viktor-orban-rod-dreher.html" The Secret History of Family Separation" (The Atlantic) - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/09/trump-administration-family-separation-policy-immigration/670604/ Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/ Holy Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypost The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.

Richard J. Mouw is president emeritus of Fuller Theological Seminary (after serving as President for 20 years) and a senior research fellow in the study of Christianity and Politics at Calvin University. He is the author of numerous books, most recently, “All That God Cares About: Common Grace and Divine Delight.” “Uncommon Decency: Christian Civility in an Uncivil World” and most recently: “How to Be A Patriotic Christian: Love of Country as Love of Neighbor.”

Understanding TranshumanismRapid developments in artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies can add confusion to the existential questions of who we are and why we are here. Through this conversation, Mouw and Picard explore the potential benefits and cautions of these technologies and thoughtfully examine the philosophical foundation of transhumanism. This conversation is a part of our Discovery and Doxology series, and hosted in partnership with Biologos and Church of the Advent and made possible through the support of Templeton Religion Trust. This series brings together leading scientists, philosophers, and theologians to discuss the relationship between science and faith. Learn more about Rosalind Picard and Richard Mouw. Authors and books mentioned in the conversation:Raymond KurzweilBrave New World, by Alduous HuxleyUncommon Decency: Christian Civility and Uncivil World, Pluralisms and Horizons, He Shines in All That's Fair, Praying at Burger King, Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport: Making Connections in Today's World, all by Richard MouwBF SkinnerThe Concept of Mind, by Gilbert RyleHubert DreyfusFriedrich NietzscheHe JiankuiNeil PostmanJohn McCarthy Related Trinity Forum Readings:Brave New World, Aldous HuxleyGod's Grandeur: The Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins Related Conversations:Faith in an Empirical World: an Online Conversation with Ard Louis and Tremper LongmanScience, Faith, & the Pursuit of Truth with Elaine Howard Ecklund and Ted DavisNeurobiology and the Soul with Curt Thompson and Jeffrey Dudiak To listen to this or any of our episodes in full, visit ttf.org/podcast and to join the Trinity Forum Society and help make content like this possible, visit ttf.org/join. Special thanks to Ned Bustard for the artwork and Andrew Peterson for the music.

No mere theories. No lofty principles to form society... Just get to Church "The Cultural Mandate" - who said it first? Of course the idea was there in both Kuyper and Bavinck, but who coined, and helped further nuance, it? Indeed you know and love/hate, Kuyper, you are familiar with Bavinck, and you glean from Vos and Berkouwer... but who is Klaas Schilder (1890 - 1952)? Listen in as we are joined with Marinus De Jong, co-editor (along with Richard Mouw and George Harinck) of "The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings", as we discuss this oft-forgotten, yet monumental, second generation Neo-Calvinist.

Sign-up for my free 20 day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Half-Truths About HeavenDevotional: 3 of 4Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:1-2)Last week, we saw that Earth is our temporary home until it is our permanent one. But in my experience, even Christians who understand this can have an anemic view of what life on the New Earth will be like, leading many to believe the third half-truth I want to explore in this series:Half-Truth #3: We are going back to EdenThere is some truth to this. As we see in today's passage, the “tree of life” from Eden is present once again. In the words of my Bible's heading over Revelation 22, the New Earth is “Eden Restored.” But it is also much more than that.Notice where the tree of life is located on the New Earth. It is straddling the river in “the middle of the great street of” the New Jerusalem—a city that stands more than seven million feet tall (see Revelation 21:16). The picture here is not of Eden as a remote garden with no civilization. It's more like Central Park in the middle of Manhattan. Because the Garden has become the “Garden City” which itself is an act of culture as God has refined gold, pearls, and gems in its construction (see Revelation 21:9-27).And it's not just God's works of culture that are there, but also some of human hands—what John calls “the glory and honor of the nations” (see Revelation 21:26). We know there will be wine on the New Earth (see Mark 14:25), houses (see Isaiah 65:21), and commerce (see Isaiah 60). In the words of the late theologian Dr. Richard Mouw, “There is an important sense in which the Holy City is the Garden-plus-the-'filling'” that God commanded when he asked humankind to “fill the earth and subdue it” (see Genesis 1:28).Beyond what we see in Scripture, the fact that the New Earth will contain more than people and nature appeals to logic. Jesus described heaven as a “kingdom,” and kingdoms have more than just Sovereigns and subjects. They have art and order, customs and cultures. And we should expect to find all of these things and more on the New Earth. That brings us to our next whole-truth:Whole-Truth #3: We are going back to Eden with the “filling” of the earthGod never said we're going back to Eden. Christians are destined to go back to the future. What does that mean for our work today? It means that some of our work has the chance of surviving the fire of judgment Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 3. Work in light of that today!

Hey everyone! Welcome to this week's episode of The AUSA Podcast! This is our last conversation about culture making, so we're a little bit sad, but we couldn't have ended it any better. This we talk with Sylvia Swords and Dr. Turner, a professor at AU, about the culmination of God's project and partnership with humanity — the redemption and recreation of all things! We begin by looking back over the season and recapping what we've talked about. Then, for the majority of the episode, we take a big picture look at the biblical story, tracing themes and literary design patterns through Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, and Revelation to find out what God has intends the ultimate end of culture making to be. We dive into why this is important for us as we create and cultivate culture, what it means to have hope in light of this New Creation, why it's important that God retains and redeems the things that humanity has made along with humanity itself, and why Christians shouldn't postpone this recreation to some far off and mysterious day way in the future. Thank you all so much for being a part of this conversation about culture making. At the end of the day, all of this is much less about a good book or a witty turn of phrase and much more about exploring the riches and depths of the central thread of the biblical story. That is, embracing and trusting the God who so giddily and lovingly wants to invite his people back into partnership with him and into a role in a grand, cosmic project — from Abraham to Jesus to you and I. We think culture making is very important, so if you enjoyed this episode or anything peaked your interest, we'd love to start a conversation!

In this episode we continue to reflect on “what is neo-Calvinism” by talking through misunderstandings of neo-Calvinism, mostly from our own experiences. The book about Lutheranism and Calvinism mentioned by Gray is Robert Kolb and Carl Trueman, Between Wittenberg and Geneva (Baker Academic, 2017) Klaas Schilder (1892-1952) was a Dutch second generation neo-Calvinist theologian. An anthology of his work will be available soon: George Harinck, Marinus de Jong and Richard Mouw (eds), The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings (Lexham Press, 2022). Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977) was a Dutch second generation neo-Calvinist philosopher. His most famous work is A New Critique of Theoretical Thought (1955). Two examples of the modern - orthodox sensibility mentioned by Gray are Abraham, Kuyper, “Conservatism and Orthodoxy” in James Bratt (ed.), Abraham Kuyper: A Centennial Reader (Eerdmans, 1998) Herman Bavinck, Wonderful works of God (Westminster Seminary Press, 2019) And this is the book that required an update according to Bavinck: Wilhelmus a Brakel, The Christian's Reasonable Service (Reformation Heritage Books, 2015) The merger of two seceded churches Marinus talked about is called the Vereniging that occurred in 1892. The churches that issued from the 1834 Secession where Bavinck belonged to merged with the churches that issued from the Doleantie in 1886, led by Abraham Kuyper. A small group of Secession churches did not join because they mistrusted Kuyper's supposedly rational and activist neo-Calvinism.

How does our faith inform our public life? We know it addresses our personal lives, our personal holiness, our families, our churches.  But does our faith inform our work? Our enjoyment of art? Of fashion? Of architecture?  Instead of simply relying on the political pundits on the cable news channels, do we have access to theologically shaped ideas to issues like political ideologies, immigration, race relations, and economics?  Our guest on this episode of the Reintegrate Podcast is Dr. Matthew Kaemingk. He is the Richard John Mouw Assistant Professor of Faith and Public Life at Fuller Theological Seminary where he also serves as the Director of the Richard John Mouw Institute of Faith and Public Life. His research and teaching focus on marketplace theology, Islam and political ethics, and public theology. His latest publication is a book he edited as a festschrift to honor the life and work of Richard Mouw, Reformed Public Theology (Baker Academic, 2021). The book has essays written by experts from all over the world offering insights on issues facing us in the 21st Century, everything from immigration, euthanasia, economics, art, race, Christian practices like prayer, communion, baptism, confession, and piety, as well as political ideologies, populism, and activism.  Other books from Matthew Kaemingk include Christian Hospitality and Muslim Immigration in an Age of Fear (Eerdmans, 2018) and Work and Worship: Reconnecting Our Labor and Liturgy, cowritten with Cory Willson,(Baker Academic, 2020). Check out our podcast from April 2021 where we discuss that excellent book with Matt. Buy these books from Independent Bookseller, Hearts & Minds Bookstore.

On this episode of the podcast, we talk with theologians Richard Mouw and Matthew Kaemingk about a new book, edited by Matt and dedicated to Rich - Reformed Public Theology: A Global Vision for Life in the World (Baker Academic, 2021). The theme question of the episode: "why does theology matter for public life?" Some topics we discuss: What do you mean by "Reformed"? What is "public" theology? And what is the unique contribution of the Reformed tradition to public theology? In a book with 20+ authors of different nationalities, vocations, and denominations, what are the common threads these authors share? As we seek to live in a pluralistic world, how do we learn to listen genuinely and to speak gently, with firm conviction? What are some characteristic flaws or blind spots of the Reformed tradition that this book celebrates? What does Reformed public theology have to say when it comes to institutional power, institutional sin, and institutional reform? What does "every square inch" really mean? Why doesn't it mean Christians "taking over"? If you'd like to read more, In All Things is hosting a four-part review of the book, which will be posted here as they become available: Part One: https://inallthings.org/an-unlikely-story-a-review-of-reformed-public-theology/ Part Two: https://inallthings.org/neo-calvinism-for-the-nations-reviewing-part-2-3-of-reformed-public-theology/  Part Three: https://inallthings.org/the-academy-and-aesthetics-a-review-of-reformed-public-theology/ 

A glimpse into “Holy Worldliness” across the globe “Through the making of culture, as opposed to simply criticizing it, Christian architects, entrepreneurs, farmers, and city planners offer their neighbors new ways of living and being in the public square.” “The flourishing of one individual requires the flourishing of schools and families, courts and businesses, artist guilds and sports teams, newspapers and unions, churches and sewer systems. Public theologians therefore refuse to narrow their theological conception of flourishing to just the political, the economic, the spiritual, or the aesthetic. Instead, they aim to further the manifold flourishing of public life.” “Public theologians endeavor to serve as translators and bridge builders across worlds long divided. When they do speak, public theologians tend to engage in two primary forms of discourse: public persuasion and public critique.” Join us we sit down with Dr. Matthew Kaemingk and discuss “Reformed Public Theology A Global Vision for Life in the World” – a book that celebrates Richard Mouw and seeks to continue his legacy that encourages a “holy worldliness”, a truly “Reformed public theology”.

Welcome to episode twenty-six of New Creation Conversations. Today's conversation is a very special one for me because I am joined by Dr. Richard Mouw. Rich served for 20 years as president of Fuller Theological Seminary (from 1993-2013). Prior to that he served as Provost and Professor of Christian Philosophy and Ethics at the seminary and prior to that spent thirteen years at Calvin College as Professor of Christian Philosophy. Just recently, Dr. Mouw has returned to Calvin College as a senior research fellow at the Henry Institute for the Study of Religion and Politics and he has a book coming out in the next year on faith and patriotism.Rich is a well-known social philosopher and theological scholar. He has written more than 20 books, and perhaps best known for his writing on Christian civility and has courageously modeled in his own career and ministry the desire to cross significant cultural and religious boundaries to further conversation, connection, and understanding. The reason this conversation is so special for me is because of the significant role Dr. Mouw has played in my own development. It was Rich's teaching for me as a seminary student that lit a passion to explore academic theology and Christian philosophy. I had the privilege of serving as his research assistant for several years and having him as my PhD advisor. There has been no greater influence on my teaching and academic career that Dr. Mouw. We go into some challenging areas in this conversation. But what I think you will hear, if you are listening well, is a thoughtful and convicted follower of Jesus trying to identify with and have empathy for views that are very different from his own. What you will hear, in my opinion, is faith seeking understanding. I have deeply appreciated that quality in my friend and mentor and hope you will be blessed by it in this conversation as well. Here is my conversation with Dr. Richard Mouw. 

Unity of the Bible This is huge moment in Joe's life, things are starting to click. Things are making sense now. He is introduced to Christian Hedonism and to the student that Dr. Fuller called “the greatest preacher that Fuller Seminary has ever produced” John Piper. We are talk about a few influential books that helped shape Joe's theology. **Pastor Joe made a mistake, Dr. Fuller did not become president, Richard Mouw did.** The Way of Godly Men: Beacons (all links): https://beacons.page/the.way.of.godly.men Instagram: https://instagram.com/the.way.of.godly.men?r=nametag Twitter: http://twitter.com/wayofgodlymen Facebook: Www.Facebook.com/thewayofgodlymen Any questions or comments please email us: Thewayofgodlymen.podcast@gmail.com Pastor Joe Lamay: His book: A Life Redeemed: My Spiritual Journey https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1512068047/ref=nodl_ http://sovgracefellowship.org/ Joelamay21973@gmail.com Alex the Rebel: https://beacons.page/alex_the_rebel Unity of the Bible: https://www.amazon.com/Unity-Bible-Unfolding-Gods-Humanity/dp/0310234042/ref=nodl_ Desiring God by John Piper: https://www.desiringgod.org/books/desiring-god

Richard Mouw speaks about the task of seminarians and scholars to grow in the kind of knowledge that is guided by and overflowing with love. He was president of Fuller Seminary from 1993–2013. This audio is an archived recording from Fuller’s All-Seminary Chapel during the 2011-12 academic year.

When I got ready for this week's discussion, one thing kept poking at my mind: The Establishment Clause. I'm sure many of you remember it from your civics lessons."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."And yet, my guest this week has made it his life's work to understand the relationship between the powers that be & the powers above. Dr. Richard Mouw is a political philosopher & theologian who has published over 20 books & whose work I have been fortunate enough to read in The Dallas Morning News. Dr. Mouw is currently a senior research fellow at the Henry Institute for the Study of Religion and Politics at Calvin College. He has been teaching on these subjects since 1968, so it's safe to say he holds a long-view of history.Even more astonishing, our conversation was recorded last December, prior the chaos we witnessed as a country at the beginning of the year. We discuss the role of Religion in our current political climate, the dire need for common ground & how to better go about the conversations that make ALL of us a little uncomfortable. Enjoy the show! 

Join us as we talk all things Christmas carols with the ever-gracious and holistic Richard Mouw. Dr. Mouw says, “I love Christmas carols, and I even find it inspiring to hear them sung in shopping malls. Some lines in particular tempt me to stop in my tracks. When, surrounded by bustling crowds, I hear that “the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight,” I want to pause and try to imagine the ways in which the coming of Christ speaks to the deepest yearnings of the people.”

(00:00-09:00): Ronald Sider and Richard Mouw write “We are pro-life evangelicals for Biden” in Christian Post. They provide perspective and evidence that Joe Biden’s administration is more pro-life overall than Trump’s (09:00-37:49): We were joined this hour by Author and U.S. Director of Church Mobilization and Advocacy for World Relief and as the National Coordinator for the Evangelical Immigration Table, Matt Soerens. Already with a loaded resume, Matt advocates for both action with understanding and compassion for refugees. World Relief joined with our parent organization, the National Association of Evangelicals, to publish a statement this (by 10/14, next) week in the Washington Post called A Call to Civic Responsibility For the Health of the Nation. In a contentious and polarizing electoral season when we think many outside and even inside of American evangelicalism have a rather narrow view of what it means for evangelical Christians to engage politically, the goal of this statement is to call evangelicals of all political affiliations – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – to ground our engagement in our commitment to the authority of the Bible. (37:49-46:54): John Fea writes in The Way of Improvement “What James Dobson Said in 1998 About Moral Character and the Presidency”. PLUS, Brian refers to remarks from John MacArthur back in 2016 about how "Morality doesn't define us anymore". (46:54-56:22): We were joined by Senior Vice President, National Program Development at Salem Media Group, Chris Gould. This year, due to the pandemic and our inability in many cities to host gatherings in person, Salem Media Group is showing our appreciation the entire month of October by bringing ministry leaders and pastors a virtual program. Each Thursday, beginning October 1st, we will release a new virtual program featuring national speakers, music artists, and local pastors and ministry leaders encouraging one another to continue to fight the good fight during these frustrating and uncertain times. To register, please click here now. (56:22-1:05:07): Irwin Ince writes “The Call—and Cost—of Beautiful Church Community” in The Gospel Coalition. Brian discusses this and how important it is to have diverse and welcoming community as a Christian. (1:05:07-1:13:48): Luke Holmes writes “4 Ways Social Media Can Be Leveraged For Discipleship” in LifeWay.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An interview with Dr. Richard Mouw, a theologian and professor of faith and public life at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he served as president for 20 years. Dr. Mouw has authored far too many books to list here, is widely respected for his perspectives on faith in the modern world, and has long stood at the forefront of the Christ and culture debate.

We all know God delights in the sacred activity of prayers and songs of Christians, but does He also delight in "secular" things as well? Can He appreciate an amazing one-handed catch at a football game? How about ancient Chinese pottery? A soaring Hawk? A family trip to Disneyland? What about Haitian Voodoo art, The Game of Thrones and Zombies? And why do we talk with such joy when discussing backyard BBQs and beach trips, but we become very somber and heavy when we shift to the topic of discipleship? Listen in as we interview the great Richard Mouw as he unpacks his decades of study to equip the saints to further Glorify and enjoy God.

How can we practice civility while holding onto our convictions in such a hostile and divided world? Join hosts Richard Dahlstrom and Abby Odio as they interview Dr. Richard Mouw, Professor of Faith and Public Life at Fuller Theological Seminary. Dr. Mouw served as school president at Fuller Theological Seminary for twenty years, he earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, and before joining the Fuller faculty in 1985, he taught philosophy at Calvin College for seventeen years.

Diversity is a beautiful idea from God. His image bearers are marked with racial and cultural differences. But the gospel is for people of every tribe, nation, and tongue, and we can get a taste of heaven when there is true unity amongst diversity within the body of Christ. But there are natural challenges we face! We are joined by Aubrey Coleman, and she offers great encouragement and practical suggestions on how we can pursue unity specifically regarding racial and cultural differences.    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Dr. Richard Mouw was the President of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA, for 20 years, where he still teaches. He is known world-wide for extended interfaith dialogue with adherents of Islam, Catholicism, and the LDS Church, and shares why he feels that's important, and how civil conversation with those of other faith traditions can strengthen your own faith. (Also, his favorite hymn? Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.)

In today’s episode, Jim talks to evangelical theologian Dr. Richard Mouw. Rich shares his experiences from working in interfaith dialogue and lays out a compelling vision for Christian civility. Reflecting on his career, he finds our polarized cultural environment is not new—we’ve been stalwart in battling over big questions for decades at minimum. Looking ahead, exciting avenues of progress and growth are entangled in the corrosive arms of static certainty. The first step to a greater humility is greater understanding. Mutual understanding helps us reckon with what we stand to gain by drawing closer to those we disagree with. Richard Mouw is a theologian, philosopher, and former president of Fuller Theological Seminary, where he now acts as Professor of Faith and Public Life. Hoping to help resolve deep conflicts, his work often wrestles with interfaith issues and he has long been in dialogue with the Mormon and Catholic communities. He received his BA from Houghton College, an MA from the University of Alberta, and his PhD from the University of Chicago. Find a conversation about this episode at the BioLogos Forum.

ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE READING 1 Peter 2:23-25, Matthew 5:43-48 QUOTES FOR CONSIDERATION Read and discuss the following statements: “In public discourse, the challenge is not to stifle robust debate, but rather to make sure that it is real debate. The first obligation for Christians is to listen carefully to opponents and if they are not willing to do so, then Christians should simply be silent. To engage in a war of words is to engage in a symbolic violence that is fundamentally at odds with the gospel. And too often, on such hot button issues as poverty, abortion, race relations, and homosexuality, the poor, children, minorities, and gays are used as weapons in ideological warfare. This too is an expression of instrumentalization.” --James Hunter, To Change the World “Civility requires that we reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others. We need to develop a sense of commonality with people who initially strike us as very different from ourselves. One important means of doing this is by cultivating empathy.” --Richard Mouw, Uncommon Decency JOURNAL & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.  Gentleness is sometimes thought of as weakness and bravado and harshness as strength. In fact, the opposite is true. Why are we so often upside down on this? 2.  How does one grow in gentleness? 3.  What are some ways Christians can show “gentleness and respect” to those who have opinions and perspectives that are contrary to our faith convictions?

Dr. Richard Mouw, former president of Fuller Seminary teaches on Ephesians 4:11-16

Additional Scripture Reading Read Jeremiah 29:1-14 Sermon Notes / Quotes / Links Exile Video, The Bible Project Quotes for Discussion If desired, read and discuss the following statements: “… one of the real problems in modern life is that the people who are good at being civil often lack strong convictions and people who have strong convictions often lack civility … We need to find a way of combining a civil outlook with a “passionate intensity” about our convictions. The real challenge is to come up with a convicted civility.” Richard Mouw, Uncommon Decency: Christian Civility in an Uncivil World “Faithful presence names the reality that God is present in the world and that he uses a people faithful to his presence to make himself concrete and real amid the world’s struggles and pain. When the church is this faithful presence, God’s kingdom becomes visible, and the world is invited to join with God. Faithful presence is not only essential for our lives as Christians, it’s how God has chosen to change the world.” David Fitch, Faithful Presence: Seven Disciplines That Shape the Church For Mission Journal & Discussion Questions 1.  What are some of the things you see, hear and notice that indicate we now live in a post-Christian culture, that is, a culture where the Christian worldview is marginalized and dismissed? Think here about prevailing cultural values and attitudes rather than particular behaviors. 2.  Why is Christian anger such a common response to the current culture? Why is anger ultimately destructive and harmful to the Christian witness? 3.  What would “faithful presence” look like in your life situation—at work, school, neighborhood, etc.? Describe what being a faithful follower of Jesus would look like in your situation. 4.  Discuss this statement by Dallas Willard and what it might mean for us today: “Historically, the Church (people of God) has always been at its best when it has the least.” Additional Resources A Peculiar People, Rodney Clapp Uncommon Decency, Richard Mouw Faithful Presence, David Fitch To Change the World, James Hunter

The Biblical God is a God who delights in all of his creation. Even before God created humans, he delighted in the world and the creatures he had made. Now, however, we live in a fallen world, and that fallenness has impacted every area of life. Yet, God delights in every step that all people take, Christians and non-Christians alike are to reclaim the goodness that was lost in the fall. Theologian Richard Mouw explains why in this talk from CFW’s 2011 Gospel and Culture conference.

When did evangelical Christianity marry Hollywood? Maybe with Aimee Semple MacPherson in the 1920s. Maybe with all those biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille. Whenever, the results can be hazardous for the faith. It gets worse when the religion of American nationalism comes along in the mix, as it so often does. That’s the target of Richard Mouw’s satire in this piece, which first appeared in the Reformed Journal in September 1970. Note the date—just a few months earlier, American forces expanded the already hotly debated Vietnam War by invading Cambodia. That triggered an explosion of protest on college campuses across America, culminating, that May of 1970, in students being gunned down at Kent State and Jackson State Universities. How did American evangelicals respond? The next 4th of July their most famous leader, Billy Graham, joined up with fading Hollywood star Bob Hope at a rally to “honor America.” This reflex celebration, this salute to civil religion, had increasingly become a target of Reformed Journal writers across the 1960s. Some of them distanced themselves from evangelicalism as a result. Not so Richard Mouw. A professor of philosophy at Calvin College when he wrote this piece, Mouw later moved to Fuller Theological Seminary, one of the foremost evangelical institutions in the country. Today he serves as president there. This reflection, then, is a loyalist’s protest, cloaking tough love in hard-edged humor.

Mouw has served as president of Fuller Theological Seminary since 1993. A philosopher, scholar, and author, Mouw joined the faculty of Fuller Theological Seminary as professor of Christian philosophy and ethics in 1985. Before coming to Fuller he served for 17 years as professor of philosophy at Calvin College. Mouw has served for six years as co-chair of the official Reformed-Catholic Dialogue, and is a leader for interfaith theological conversations, particularly with Mormons and Jewish groups. Robert Millet is the leading Mormon theologian and a BYU professor. Together they will discuss the history of their interfaith dialogue and explain the areas where they agree and disagree.

Lives of Worship - 5 (Genesis 1:26-31:0) - Dr. Richard Mouw

Our culture’s acrimonious debate on the morality of gay marriage has been framed in religious — largely conservative Christian — terms. We go behind the rhetoric to explore the human confusion, hopes, and fears this subject arouses. We’ll name hard questions that these religious people on both sides of the issue are asking themselves, and that they would like to ask of others.

Religious fundamentalism has reshaped our view of world events. In this show, host Krista Tippett explores the appeal of fundamentalism in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, as experienced from the inside. Three accomplished men, who were religious extremists at one time in their lives, provide revealing insight into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of fundamentalism. They also discuss religious impulses which counter the fundamentalist world view and helped them break free.

Great religious minds reflect on tragedies surrounding September 11, 2001. As America moves beyond raw emotion and religious sentiment, this program explores theological and spiritual reflection for the long haul. A gathering of provocative reflections across a broad spectrum of faith, woven together with evocative sound and music.
