This special episode features a discussion about sacrifice and atonement, featuring Spencer Owen, Phil Bray, Troy Yurchak, and Joshua Sherman. This discussion is a response to the recent Bible Project episodes on Atonement and Burnt Offerings, as part of their overview of the Leviticus scroll. Here, we hope to bring additional context to the discussion, that can help people approach the Atonement, especially. For those that haven't listened to the Bible Project episodes yet, we'd like to recomme...

Fr. John Behr’s translation of Athanasius’s “On The Incarnation”, which includes a Foreword by C.S. Lewis, and Fr.

Have you ever wondered what it means to be made in the Image of God? In this episode, I give a quick rundown on the main views on what this means, and propose what I think the best understanding of it is. Of course, as we continue this series, I'll discuss a lot more about the Image, and how it ties in with the Gospel.

In this episode, a quick summary of the "Gospel of God's Victory" series we just wrapped up, and a look at the upcoming series, "The Purpose of Humanity and the Destiny of Believers." Note - We’re taking a quick break until the beginning of September. See you then!
Jesus's victory over death - and "him who held the power of death - that is, the devil" (see Hebrews 2), is central to the Gospel. As Paul argues, "if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is futile; you are still dead in your sins" (1 Corinthians 15), and "He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification." (Romans 4)
The connection between Jesus's death and the Passover Lamb is pretty well understood. In this episode, we take a look at another detail that connects Jesus's death and resurrection with the Old Testament - Luke referring to Jesus's "exodus" in his account of the Transfiguration. Just as YHWH's victory over pharaoh and the gods of Egypt resulted in freedom for the people of Israel, Jesus's victory over sin, death, and the spiritual powers of darkness would - and did - result in freedom for all pe...
How does better understanding the Gospel, and God's expectations for our response to it, help us think more clearly about how - and how not - to engage in politics?
For more on seeing “Faith” as “Allegiance”, I recommend spending some time with Matthew Bates’s work. “Gospel Allegiance” is a bit briefer, and aimed more at pastors and lay people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CbqMMh_xb8 https://www.amazon.com/Salvation-Allegiance-Alone-Rethinking-Gospel/dp/0801097975 https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Allegiance-Misses-Salvation-Christ/dp/1587434296...
In this episode, I ask the question, "Is the Gospel good news for everyone?", and look at how it is good news for all people without distinction, but not good news for people without condition. The Gospel is only truly good news for those who respond with faith/trust/allegiance in Jesus.
In this episode, I critique a view that is becoming more common - that we should use the incarnate Christ as our only measuring stick for telling us what God is like. Yes, it is one of our clearest views, but looking only at Jesus' earthly ministry ignores what the Son was doing before the Incarnation, and what the Son will do at the second coming.
