The Adventist VoiceSn 4 Ep 9: King David: A Lesson in SanctificationIn this episode, we draw from the life of King David. We start from the time he was anointed to be king in place of King Saul, to when he ascended to the throne. King David typifies the life of every Christian, in that he ad episodes of ups and downs. Actually, what most people associate with King David is his great sin with Bathsheba. However, King David picked himself up from this event and repented.
In Mathew 1:1, Jesus is described as the Son of David.

Even in the warmest and most welcoming evangelical churches, patriarchy looms as an ever-present force... Patriarchy isn't always in your face and Liz helps us take an unflinching look at the ways misogyny's subtler forms impact every aspect of women's experience in church.

How is the contingentist amorepotent and uncontrolling love of God understood as purposeful? If there is a laundry list of things an uncontrolling God CAN'T do... what CAN and uncontrolling God do?

WaltonThis week Hebrew Bible Scholar Dr. John H. Walton joins the show to discuss his new book, "The Lost World of the Prophets: Old Testament Prophecy and Apocalyptic Literature in Ancient Context". Walton claims that being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy, but average readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literature often come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future?It's common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics...2024-05-291h 04Rethinking Faith20ish Almost Heretical Answers to 20ish Almost Heretical Q's - With Almost HereticalHappy Friday!

ColeyThis week I step out of my comfort zone a bit for a fun conversation with Scott M. Coley. Coley's new book, "Ministers of Propaganda: Truth, Power, and the Ideology of the Religious Right" takes a deep dive into the fusion of Evangelicalism and Right-Wing Politics. We take a look at the rhetoric and proof-texting that support Christo-authoritarianism and presses Christian theology into the service of authoritarian politics. The Christian message is being distorted by propaganda together with motivated reasoning and a perceived self-interest. I had a good time talking with Scott and I really enjoyed reading his book...2024-05-151h 31Rethinking FaithProcess Philosophy and Mimetic Theory - With Dr. Andre RabeThis week Dr. Andre Rabe joins the podcast to discuss his latest book, "Processing Mimetic Reality: Harmonizing Alfred North Whitehead and Rene Girard". What, if anything, does Process Philosophy have in common with Mimetic theory? Rabe seeks to answer this question, not by collapsing the two schools of thought into one, but rather seeking to harmonize them. Dr. Rabe demonstrates that deep, broad, and significant harmonies exist between process philosophy and mimetic theory. Girard enriches Whitehead through exemplification, and Whitehead enriches Girard through an expansion of the overall narrative and deeper ontological insights into the processes that made us...2024-05-081h 02Rethinking FaithToward an Open and Relational Ecclesiology - With Ulrick DamThis week (Re)thinking Faith takes a quick trip to Denmark as Ulrick Dam joins show.

In this conversation we discuss Dr. Thatamanil's book "Circling the Elephant: A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity". Thatamanil builds a compelling case for Religious Pluralism that is deeply shaped by humility, hospitality, and mutual transformation. Christians do not have a monopoly on encounters with the Divine or Ultimate Reality and other Religious Traditions do in fact have access to both Truth and transformation. It is more than time that we stop just learning ABOUT other religious traditions, and start learning FROM them.

"Grounded in an organicist process worldview, Brian G. Henning shows that it is possible to make progress in key debates within environmental philosophy, including those concerning the nature of intrinsic value; anthropocentrism; hierarchy; the moral significance of beauty; the nature of individuality; teleology and the naturalistic fallacy; and worldview reconstruction.

Elijah declared a three year drought in Israel, as a punishment for the blatant idolatry that was practiced by the people. In the final duel between the prophets of Baal and Elijah, God is glorified by fire coming down to burn up the sacrifice that was presented by Elijah. Elijah then prays for rain and rain falls. But in chapter 18, when Jezebel threatened the life of Elijah, he chose to run away into the wilderness instead of praying to God and waiting...2024-02-0937 minRethinking Faith(R)evolutionary HOPE - With Kathleen BonnetteThis week Kathleen Bonnette joins the podcast to discuss her new book, "(R)evolutionary HOPE: A Spirituality of Encounter and Engagement in an Evolving World."

But is it really possible to fully understand God? No it is not. In Isaiah 55:8-11, He says his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts higher than our thoughts. We can't understand why God allowed Lucifer to live on. We don't understand why God would let children be killed and not intervene, we don't even understand when God says in His commandments not to do certain things. Instead of trying to understand first before we obey or acknowledge his works, we should instead have faith in his supreme...2023-12-0723 min

Saul was facing the Philistia in battle, with a demoralized army and mass desertations. Only him and his son Jonathan had swords out of all the army of Israel. Samuel had come to Gibeah and found that Saul had offered an unlawful sacrifice. After pronouncing judgement on Saul, Samuel left, leaving Saul with an army of 600 men facing Philistia.

This was the tenth time that they had doubted God and God had had it with this generation.
