When the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) made headlines over women in pastoral ministry, social media quickly filled with opinions, assumptions, and strong reactions. But as followers of Christ, how should we respond when theological disagreements arise?In this episode, we use the recent SBC conversation as a case study to explore how Christian leaders can become the kind of leader who handles God's Word faithfully and God's people graciously. My prayer is that this conversation equips you not only to think more biblically, but to lead more like Christ.If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to leave a review? It helps more women in ministry find the show and be encouraged in their walk with Christ and leadership in the local church.Connect with Narcely:Website: www.NarcelyRuiz.comInstagram: @narcelyruiz / @upstreampursuit If you're a woman serving in ministry and you want support in growing in biblical confidence, leadership, and healthy ministry rhythms, I'd love to connect with you.
There's been a decline in theological schools due to enrollment drops, financial crises and even some closures. The Atlanta-based Gammon Theological Seminary, one of the nation’s most prominent Black schools of theology, has received its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), which is being called "a major win for the theological institution." Rose speaks with the Rev. Dr. Candace Lewis, the first woman elected President and CEO in the Seminary’s 143-year history, about her vision for the institution and reflects on the current state of seminaries. A Continued Mission: Atlanta Non-Profit Desires More Resources for Helping Unhoused Atlanta's Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative (PAD) recently launched an awareness campaign for their supportive services during the World Cup. PAD has been operating in Atlanta for several years ... dispatching care coordinators instead of police ... when callers request support for mental health crises, signs of extreme poverty and more. PAD expanded services specifically for the World Cup, and now officials share why those services will have to cease, but other services will continue. Plus, PAD's deputy director, Denise White and Muhammad Hafeez, director of community engagement share what care coordinators are seeing while being dispatched around the city.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How should Christians approach an early church writing that is valuable, influential, and sometimes theologically troubling?The Shepherd of Hermas was one of the most widely read Christian writings of the 2nd century. Through visions, commandments, and parables, it called believers to repentance, holiness, generosity, and faithfulness in a culture that often pulled them in the opposite direction.But the book also raises serious Theological questions. Today, we examine the background, message, strengths, and weaknesses of The Shepherd of Hermas. We learn how studying it can deepen our understanding of the early church while strengthening our confidence in the authority of God's Word.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to The Shepherd of HermasThe Shepherd of Hermas is one of the most unusual writings from the Apostolic Fathers and offers a window into the beliefs, struggles, and priorities of second-century Christians.03:05 What Is The Shepherd of Hermas?The book presents the first-person account of a Christian named Hermas and combines visions, commandments, warnings, promises, and symbolic parables.06:05 Who Was Hermas?Hermas was likely a real Christian living in Rome, although parts of the work may have been written or edited over time by others.07:00 Why The Shepherd of Hermas Was Not ScriptureThe Muratorian Fragment describes the book as valuable for Christians to read while clearly distinguishing it from the inspired books of the New Testament.08:10 The Popularity and Strengths of HermasThe Shepherd of Hermas was widely read in the early church and strongly emphasized holiness, generosity, repentance, and living for God's kingdom.10:50 When Holiness Becomes LegalismHermas' strict teaching about sin after baptism and his restrictive view of repentance can turn a healthy call to holiness into legalism and perfectionism.13:35 The Limited Focus on Jesus and the GospelAlthough Christ appears under titles such as the Son of God, the book gives little attention to Jesus' earthly ministry, death, resurrection, or the work of the Holy Spirit.15:35 Measuring Every Teaching Against ScriptureChurch history and early Christian writings can be helpful, but every book, sermon, tradition, and podcast must ultimately be tested against the final authority of God's Word.17:10 Why Christians Should Read The Shepherd of HermasThe book helps modern believers understand how early Christians wrestled with holiness, temptation, repentance, and faithful living, even when some of their conclusions were flawed.“Hermas refuses to let comfortable Christianity exist.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonSources: Background on the Shepherd of Hermas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shepherd_of_Hermas

Welcome to Day 2901 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. Day 2901 – Theology Thursday – Covenants and Culture: Yahweh's Strategic Transformation of the Ancient Near East Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2901 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2901 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled Covenants and Culture: Yahweh's Strategic Transformation of the Ancient Near East. In the rich tapestry of the Ancient Near East (ANE), where gods and mortals interacted through elaborate rituals and binding treaties, the biblical narratives introduce a revolutionary shift. Yahweh's covenants with humanity did not merely reinforce cultural expectations; they transformed them. Unlike the deities of neighboring civilizations who mirrored and legitimized the social structures of their devotees, Yahweh entered the cultural space of His people to reshape it from within. This interplay of divine command and cultural resonance reveals both Yahweh's absolute sovereignty and His desire for transformative relationship. The first segment is: Cultural Resonance and Divine Directives Yahweh's covenantal style mirrors the suzerainty treaties common across the ANE. In these treaties, a powerful suzerain king would bind a vassal king to loyalty through an agreement filled with stipulations, blessings for obedience, and curses for rebellion. These treaty forms were widely recognized and respected in the ANE, providing a familiar and effective template for divine-human interaction. By employing these forms, Yahweh ensured that His commands were both intelligible and impactful within Israel's cultural framework. Yet the familiarity was only skin-deep. Yahweh was not adopting ANE forms to affirm the prevailing norms but to subvert and transform them. In doing so, He made divine truth both accessible and disruptive, anchored in the known but pointing toward a radically different vision of justice, holiness, and relationship. The second segment is: Theological and Ethical Reforms While the form of Yahweh's covenants may have paralleled existing treaty structures, the content was often a complete departure from ANE norms. Israel's covenantal law demanded exclusive loyalty to a single God, an idea entirely foreign to the religious pluralism of surrounding nations. Ethical obligations in Israel's law focused heavily on protecting the vulnerable, including the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the poor. Debt release, sabbath rest for slaves and animals, and strict prohibitions against bribery or partiality in justice went far beyond the ethical norms of contemporary legal codes. In many ANE cultures, laws primarily served to protect property and consolidate the power of elites. Yahweh's laws, by contrast, reflected a concern for righteousness, mercy, and communal holiness. This ethical dimension of the covenant was not a footnote; it was central. The Israelites were not merely subjects under divine rule; they were to be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests mediating divine truth to the world. The third segment is: Balancing Divine Sovereignty and Relatability Yahweh's use of treaty forms was both strategic and pastoral. It asserted His authority as the true King of Israel while also presenting Him as a God who speaks to His people in forms they understand. Yahweh was not a distant deity demanding obedience from afar. He was present in history, entering into a covenant, revealing Himself through relational promises, and anchoring His identity in concrete acts of deliverance. This duality, sovereign yet accessible, transcendent yet involved, marks a distinctive feature of Israel's theology. The covenant relationship was not mechanical obedience to divine fiat but a personal, binding commitment from both sides. Yahweh pledged Himself to His people, and in return, they were called to fidelity, justice, and worship. The fourth segment is: Educational and Pedagogical Approaches The choice to use familiar cultural forms also had an educational function. Rather than discarding everything the Israelites knew, Yahweh worked within their existing frameworks to guide them toward deeper truths. This pedagogical method allowed spiritual and moral growth over time, acknowledging that transformation, both personal and societal, is a process. Like a master teacher, Yahweh started where His people were and led them forward. Each covenantal renewal deepened the understanding of divine character and the demands of holiness. Over centuries, the people of Israel would come to grasp more fully what it meant to be the people of God, called out from the nations not merely for privilege but for purpose. The fifth segment is: What Happens When the Covenant Is Broken? A key distinction between Yahweh's covenants and typical ANE treaties lies in what happens when the human side fails. In a standard suzerainty treaty, a vassal's failure to uphold the terms could annul the agreement and provoke swift retribution. But with Yahweh, the breaking of the covenant never canceled His overarching plan. Some covenants, like the one made with Abraham, are unilateral and unconditional. Yahweh alone passed through the sacrificial pieces, taking full responsibility for its fulfillment regardless of human faithfulness. Even when Israel sinned, the covenant endured because it was grounded in God's promise, not human performance. Others, like the Mosaic covenant, were conditional. Israel's disobedience brought consequences such as plagues, exile, and the destruction of the temple, but not abandonment. Through the prophets, Yahweh issued covenant lawsuits, calling Israel back to repentance. Even in judgment, the goal was always restoration. Ultimately, the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31 was Yahweh's response to repeated human failure. This covenant, fulfilled in Christ, was not a replacement or abolishment of the earlier covenants but their proper fulfillment, bringing them to their intended purpose. It is rooted in the same divine commitment now written on the heart rather than stone. Through Jesus, the faithful Israelite, Yahweh bound Himself again to His people, securing the covenant by grace rather than law. Fulfillment does not cancel what came before. Instead, it completes the trajectory set in motion by Yahweh's earlier promises, preserving their integrity while transforming their expression through the work of the Messiah. The pattern is clear: human betrayal may break fellowship, but it never breaks Yahweh's ultimate purpose. His covenants are not destroyed by sin; they are fulfilled through mercy. The sixth segment is: Yahweh Swears by Himself: The Unshakable Foundation of the Covenant In the Ancient Near East, oaths were sworn by invoking a higher authority, typically a god who would enforce the agreement. But Yahweh, being the Most High, has no higher name to invoke. Instead, He swears by Himself. This marks His covenants as utterly unique and unchangeable, grounded not in human performance but in His own divine character. When Yahweh makes the covenant with Abraham, Genesis 22 verse sixteen records Him saying: “By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord.” This moment follows Abraham's willingness to offer Isaac. Yahweh's oath confirms that His promises regarding offspring, land, and blessing to the nations are irrevocable. Hebrews 6 verses thirteen through eighteen reflects on this, stating that because God could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, so that by two unchangeable things—His promise and His oath—we might have strong encouragement. This is not just poetic language. It means the entire covenant rests on Yahweh's own nature, which cannot lie, change, or fail. This is why Paul in Romans 11, verse twenty-nine, says: “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Even when Israel breaks the covenant, Yahweh's sworn word remains in effect. He disciplines, exiles, and refines, but He does not abandon what He has sworn. The New Covenant, too, is grounded in this same self-binding faithfulness. Christ is the guarantor, not because of human righteousness, but because He is the embodiment of Yahweh's unbreakable oath. The seventh segment is: The Land Covenant and the Cosmic Contrast The covenant for the land stands as a unique expression of Yahweh's commitment to Abraham and his descendants. In Genesis 15 and 17, Yahweh promises

For twenty years, Christian Wiman has lived with a rare, incurable cancer. In the fall of 2022, during a stretch when the illness was especially bad, he wrote to his friend and Yale colleague Miroslav Volf: “I don't know what faith means anymore. I'm a 56-year-old with a pile of books behind me and an experimental bone marrow transplant ahead of me, and I don't know what faith means.” That letter became the seed of an extended correspondence between the poet and the theologian, now published as Glimmerings: Letters on Faith between a Poet and a Theologian. In this special collaboration with Arc Magazine, editor Mark Oppenheimer sits down with Volf and Wiman to unpack the letters that grew out of their long friendship and years of walking together through New Haven. They discuss what it means to love God, why doubt and absence might be constitutive elements of faith and presence rather than its opposite, and how a terminal diagnosis changed what each of them was willing to say and how freely they said it. They also trace the thinkers who shaped their thinking along the way, from Simone Weil's account of attention to Etty Hillesum's wartime writing, to Abraham Joshua Heschel's theology of the prophets, and they wrestle openly with where their understandings of Jesus Christ converge and diverge. Along the way, Wiman reflects on writing from a hospital room at Massachusetts General, on discovering that his fear was never death itself but the fear of dying without God, and on why grief, not fear, is what remains even after that fear falls away. Episode Highlights I don't know what faith means anymore. I'm a 56-year-old with a pile of books behind me and an experimental bone marrow transplant ahead of me, and I don't know what faith means. I sometimes find it hard to think what it means to love God. I don't know how to love God. Faith is what matters. Belief seems to me a matter of the institution and ascending to creeds and things like that. I think most of my theological thinking is existentially motivated. It's motivated by the kind of inner logic of the trust in which I'm involved. Most of the books that I wrote, I've written for myself. I'm one of those writers who doesn't have an audience. There is grace in my life if I can just keep my eyes open enough to see it. His mistake in some ways lets him see that the world is right, that there's a rightness to the world. What becomes clear is one's longing for God. Everything is stripped away and very little else seems to matter. What I want most in my life is the presence of God. And I fear dying without that. Just being alone at the moment of death. I was worried that he won't have God in that situation of need because attention might be lacking.

In this bold conversation, Clary breaks down why the modern church has produced weak men, silent Christians, and a passive response to cultural threats, including Islam, progressivism, and woke ideology. He explains why “the meek shall inherit the earth” does not mean Christians are called to be doormats, how the Prodigal Son story has been used to shame faithful believers, and why the church must recover a vision of righteous strength, public courage, and high-agency Christianity. This episode will challenge what many Christians have been taught about weakness, power, masculinity, and the role of believers in the public square.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comPastor Michael ClaryWEBSITE: https://www.losertheology.comSUBSTACK: https://www.dmichaelclary.comCHURCH: https://www.christthekingnky.comMichael Clary is the Lead Pastor of Christ the King Church in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, and the author of Loser Theology.

American Evangelical Christianity is in crisis. The story of how it got here is an important part of this series but there are several reasons so many evangelical Christians are discontent and looking for something else, something with historical roots, with a sense of tradition, with a sense of of transcendence, with reverent worship, and with a deeper view of the sacraments. It is the conviction of the Heidelberg Reformation Association that the answer to the longing for more lies not in Rome or in the Eastern Orthodox traditions but, as it were, in Geneva. In this series we will explore the history, theology, piety and practice of Roman Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox traditions, and we will compare and contrast those two traditions with historic Reformed theology, piety, and practice.

Long before humanity learned how to build civilizations, economies, governments, religions, or marriage, another architecture was already under construction. It was invisible, portable, and profoundly consequential. It determined not merely how people survived, but where they believed life itself originated. Every culture eventually answered the same question, whether consciously or unconsciously: What must another person provide before I can become fully myself? That answer became the hidden constitution of human intimacy. Perhaps the history of romantic love is not primarily the history of affection. Perhaps it is the history of psychological outsourcing. The history of transferring inward responsibilities onto outward relationships until another human being quietly inherited assignments consciousness never intended them to carry. Happiness became negotiable. Peace became conditional. Worth required witnesses. Identity required agreement. Love became increasingly measured by how successfully one person could regulate another person's interior world. What if that entire direction represents a developmental inversion? Developmental psychology demonstrates that authentic dependency belongs to infancy. Contemplative traditions repeatedly suggest that realization gradually loosens psychological clinging rather than perfecting it. Theological traditions describe Ultimate Reality as fundamentally self-sufficient rather than psychologically deficient. Yet modern intimacy often continues to organize itself around the assumption that another human being should supply what an increasingly mature consciousness might eventually cultivate from within. This conversation refuses to treat that assumption as sacred.

True or false? Christians spend very little time with God. Making plans is contrary to being led by the Holy Spirit. Effort is the opposite of grace. God the Father loves you as much as he loves Jesus.
