The end is here! Well..the end of the theology series. We conclude this brief survey of systematic theology with an episode on the highly anticipated topic of "eschatology". I hope that it is meaty enough while not being overwhelming. Originally this episode was for next week, but we dropped it today in celebration of reaching fifty reviews on one of our platforms. (Oddly, said platform has a policy where you aren't supposed to mention reviews on said platform). Regardless, thank you all for your love and support, and I hope this theology series has been helpful! We will move onto other series from here! Perhaps biblical theology will be the next "theology series" down the road. “Behold Our God” Words and Music by Jonathan Baird, Meghan Baird, Ryan Baird, and Stephen Altrogge. © 2011 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI).

In today's episode we get to chat with Kristen Carden again! She was originally a guest on episode 44 discussing worship and today we discuss burn out. I think this is a very important subject for many individuals in our culture! It was a fun discussion! One funny observation was that Kristen mentions boundaries in the beginning of the episode, and at the end of the episode we both forgot that we had mentioned it! It was a good thing to circle back on though! We both hope this episode helps individuals in that many of us can become burnt out and usually the results are damaging on a variety of fronts!

In this episode, I talk to freelance writer, Star Wars connoisseur and non-vegan, Stephen Altrogge.

Discord“I did not grow up in a Christian fellowship or in a family that went to church. When I started going to church, I had no history, either good or bad, with being part of a church community. I came into the family of God with a blank slate. Over the coming years, I was amazed at how kind and loving Christians were. For the most part, they reached out to me, tried to help me figure out how to walk with Jesus, and cheered me on. A lot of them even prayed for me and encouraged me as I was growing up in the faith. With time, I got so close to some Christians that I discovered they loved me enough to tell me when I was making a dumb choice or living in a way that did not honor God. These people actually cared enough to point out where I was messing up and helped me learn to read the Bible, make better choices, and receive the grace of God when I stumbled and fell. I have to say it, and say it loud and clear: I am a big fan of Christians!” [Reckless Faith, Kevin G. Harney] Rather than walk that through the situation in a godly manner, people got hurt feelings and walked out. When those kinds of things happen repeatedly, there is a pattern that is established, and a spiritual atmosphere that is established. “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:19-21, NIV) Webster's 1828 DictionaryDiscord – “Disagreement among persons or things. Between persons, difference of opinions; variance; opposition; contention; strife; any disagreement which produces angry passions, contest, disputes, litigation or war. discord may exist between families, parties and nations.” In the New Testament, the Greek word – éris éris literally means “quarrel, i.e. (by implication) wrangling” It is translated various ways, including: · strife· contentions· making trouble· fighting· quarreling· cutthroat competition· rivalry There is a huge difference between this word – discord – and disagreement. When you and I have a disagreement, rather than being my brother or sister in Christ, you become my adversary. “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19, ESV) “When the authorities arrested and imprisoned a house-church pastor and father of seven children, they also placed his wife under house-arrest. The pastor's wife was told that she was allowed to leave her home only to shop at the local market. That didn't seem to matter much to her; she had no money to purchase food at the market anyway. She had to rely on faithful fellow house-church members for food. As it turns out, they provided for her well. She would wear a baggy smock with large pockets over her other clothes when she went to her village's open-air market. Walking slowly through the crowd as she wandered in and out among the stalls, she would notice a nudge here and a tug there until she had walked through the entire market. By the time she reached home, her pockets would be filled with tomatoes and onions and other items. Sometimes there was money in a pocket. She always seemed to come home with just enough food to feed her family of eight for another day. Occasionally, when those seven children got really hungry, the mother would be surprised to find a chicken on her front steps. One day her oldest son was offered a job in a nearby city—and there just happened to be a bicycle leaning up against their front door. Seemingly out of the blue, the boy had transportation to and from work.” [Nik Ripken, The Insanity of God] That wouldn't happen if believers are at odds with one another.“We call ourselves Christian but we are not known for the kind of love Jesus said would mark his followers.” (Ted Dekker, Waking Up: To Who You Really Are) If an arm or a foot or a finger is amputated, that part of the body dies. (see 1 Corinthians 12) But what if we are genuinely attached to the Body – a local Christian community – but another part is cut off? Even if you're not the one who is cut off, there is still an underlying awareness – at least at some level – that that person is supposed to be connected. When you have an inclination to speak against someone, ask yourself a question: Is that person is a believer – a follower of Christ. When I frame it like that, then the other things are far less significant. We need to remember that according to Ephesians 2, Jesus died not only to reconcile us to the Father, but also to one another. His death and resurrection causes us to be united with the Father and with one another. “We are members of one another.” (Ephesians 4:25) “If one member suffers, all suffer together…” (1 Corinthians 12:26) “Some people tempt me out of the flow of the Spirit. They judge me, and I feel discouraged. They dislike me, and I feel rejected. They are a black hole of need and drain me. They throw roadblocks in my path and discourage me. They anger me. They scare me. They depress me. Plus I don't like them.” (John Ortberg, The Me I Want to Be) “Honestly, I don't really like dealing with other people's problems. I've got enough problems of my own. In fact, I don't like dealing with needy people in general. Needy people require time and resources and emotional investment and phone calls in the wee hours of the morning and the occasional bailing out of jail. Being around them is draining. I would rather be around people who have something to offer. You know, funny people or smart people or popular people or rich people. People who make me feel good about myself. People who let me be a burden to them instead of the other way around.” [Stephen Altrogge, Untamable God: Encountering the One Who Is Bigger, Better, and More Dangerous Than You Could Possibly Imagine] We generally hold others to a higher standard than we hold ourselves to. What if we chose to view each other, not as the old sinful, argumentative, cantankerous folks that we know, but as new creatures in Christ? How we see each other – as old creatures or as new creatures – changes how we interact with one another. “You're familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best — the sun to warm and the rain to nourish — to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that. “In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.”(Matthew 5:43-48, from THE MESSAGE: The Bible in Contemporary Language © 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson. All rights reserved.) “But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?”(1 Corinthians 3:1-3, ESV) If having jealousy and strife means we are babies, then if you were the enemy, what would you want to do?What's your heart's desire in this area?

In this very special episode of Age of Minority, Jaquelle and Sean decide to pretend this is Only the Good Stuff, a podcast hosted by Stephen Altrogge that features zero grumbling, zero complaining, just conversations between people about things that are actually making them happy. Last week Stephen Altrogge interviewed Jaquelle about what was making...

On this episode, Dave Harvey and Stephen Altrogge are joined by Dr. Dan Allender.

He is insightful, humorous, wise, and yet says exactly what he thinks in a ‘no-holds-barred’ manner. You don’t want to miss this one!   Disclaimer: Due to the nature of the topics discussed, we recommend that children not be present while listening to this interview.   For more on Dan Allender, please visit theallendercenter.org

When a pastor decides it is time to leave his current church, there are a variety of temptations and problems that he can be faced with. On this episode, Dave Harvey and Stephen Altrogge sit down to discuss what they feel is the best way to leave so that the pastor is considering the church and leaders, the congregation is respected, and God is honored.

In this episode of The Happy Rant podcast Ted, Ronnie, and Barnabas try something a little different with, um, indeterminate results. In honor of Stephen Altrogge's latest podcast they set out to do an episode of "only the better stuff" exceot that Ted's bad day gets in the way. In the end they discuss the following.

Publisher of Open Letter Books  Interview starts at 15:15 and ends at 43:30 Amazon[Crossing] is filling in some of these gaps, because we haven't for a long time seen the normal mystery book that someone picks up in Spain and reads when they go on their vacation. That's never been translated into English, because it didn't seem like it would make a ton of money for one of the big presses, and the small presses are looking for something that's more patently literary. Amazon's taken up a lot of those kind of books, which is really fascinating and fills in a wide range of what the aesthetic is in these different countries.    News “Amazon plans to open a Chicago bookstore in Lakeview” by Lauren Zumbach at The Chicago Tribune - August 25, 2016 Kindle Reading Fund Worldreader.org Amazon Worldreader video at YouTube - August 24, 2016 “Denver Public Library is Lending Wifi Hotspots” by Nate Hoffelder at The Digital Reader - August 20, 2016 “Amazon Starts Car Research and Review Site” at Associated Press - August 25, 2016 Amazon press release on Amazon Vehicles - August 25, 2016 Amazon jobs listing for Sr. Product Mgr, US Books   Interview with Chad Post Open Letter Books, the University of Rochester's nonprofit, literary translation press Amazon author page for Julio Cortazar Hopscotch: A Novel by Julio Cortazar Dalkey Archive Press Amazon author page for Raymond Queneau Quail Ridge Books Rage by Zygmunt Miloszewski The Complete Review and The Literary Saloon run by Michael Orthofer The Complete Review Guide to Contemporary World Fiction by M.
