Dr. Jonathan PenningtonMatthew 7:21-23Christians often pride ourselves on our “assurance of faith,” but there are passages where Jesus seems to call that notion into question.

While Christians insist it is a prophecy of Jesus’ virgin birth, Jews argue its historical context tells a very different story. Is Isaiah pointing towards an eventual Messiah, or is he just talking about a nearby pregnant woman? How can we unearth the truth behind this verse without marginalizing other people and their faiths?In this episode, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Brettler walks us through how this verse has been understood throughout history, why its translated differently across traditions, and the path forward we can take to...2023-07-011h 03
That Won't PreachIs Jesus the Word of God? - John 1:1 (with Sean Barnette)Christians usually associated “The Word of God” as another name for the Bible, but in the poetic beginning to John’s Gospel, he uses the title to refer to Jesus. When we start to apply our modern understanding of what “words” are, troubling questions begin to emerge. If we can make up words and change their meanings, what truth can we actually find in “The Word of God”?In this episode, Joel sits down with rhetorician Dr. Sean Barnette to explore the biblical “Word”, contemporary rhetorical thought, and how both can work together to draw us closer to God.2023-07-011h 08

Cyrus, el hijo adolescente de Jane, también había fallecido hacía poco. El hecho de que Cyrus nunca se había bautizado hacía que su dolor fuera mayor, y a Jane le preocupaba lo que eso significaría para el alma eterna de él.
