Ten Commandments: Do not covet

This is it! The Ten Commandments pod wraps up with a conversation about coveting. We are told not to covet our neighbor's house, wife, donkey, ox, land or anything else. Seems simple enough, yet, as always, getting to the heart of the commandment takes some work and asks some difficult questions of believers. Join Phil and Ken as they look into coveting, neighbors and...family heirlooms????

You're Using it Wrong: God's in Charge!

When we say "God is in charge," what do we mean? Recognizing the limits of our understanding of God and God's power opens the door to a deeper faith.

You're Using it Wrong Episode 5: Culture Wars

We tend to get upset about all sort of things in culture. From how we greet one another at the holidays, to the use of Scripture to justify racism, Christians in America seem to be all over the map as we try to negotiate our faith in society. Phil and Stephen discuss issues of faith and our relationship with culture, and what our posture to society should be. Check it out.

It is time to rest! Take a break, kick up your feet, close your email and listen for awhile as Ken and Phil talk about the commandment to remember, or is it observe, the Sabbath.

You're Using it Wrong Episode 4: Women!!!

For centuries Christians have pushed women into background and support roles in the Church. It has happened for so long we tend to think it's the appropriate thing, but is it? Should women be allowed to preach and teach? Are women entitled to equal roles with men in the Church? In this episode, Phil and Stephen talk about the role of women in the Church, why they believe in equality, and what the Bible says about women in leadership. Check it out.

Ten Commandments: Commandment 3

We've heard that we aren't supposed to take the Lord's name in vain, but what does that really mean? And what is the Lord's name, anyway? In this episode Phil and Ken discuss oaths, blasphemy and how a single sentence can be so complex to live out and practice.

You're Using it Wrong: The Devil

Have you ever heard someone say, "the devil made me do it?" The devil, or Satan, is a complicated figure in Christianity. For some, he is literally the embodiment of evil. For others, the devil is a personification of the human propensity for sin. In this episode Phil and Stephen talk about the devil. What does Scripture say? Is there more to him than we imagine. And, most importantly, where is God in all this. Join us.

You're Using it Wrong Week 2: Platitudes

This week Phil and Stephen look at some of the most common Christian platitudes. Heaven needed another angel. God doesn't give us more than we can handle. God helps those who help themselves. When God closes one door He opens another. Phrases like these help us say something when we feel uncertain about what to say, but are they helpful? Could we do better? This week we will break down what we are really saying in our platitudes, asking if that is what we mean, and wondering what might be better...

The Ten Commandments: Week 1

Over the coming 8 weeks we will look at the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments have become powerful symbols in current American culture wars. Because of this, they have become loaded with meaning they don't necessarily hold and they have been used as a cudgel to attack those who seem to be deviating from their teaching. Over this series we will try to reclaim these vital biblical teachings and let them speak to us without inducing shame, guilt or anger. This week, we consider commandments 1 ...

You're Using it Wrong Week 1: The Prosperity Gospel

In this new series, Phil Blackburn and Stephen Martin tackle some common misconceptions in modern Christianity. This week, we ask the question, does God want us to be rich? We address the faulty idea that if you give to the church you are likely to get what you want. And we talk about what the material benefits of faith are or are not.
