Reclaiming the Faith

John Wayne and Jesus

Episode 11 is a special episode, where I’m give the listener an audio version of chapter three of my book, New: Wineskins and the Simple Words of Christ. The title of this chapter is: John Wayne and Jesus, where I examine the way our various traditions and preferences that filter our view of Jesus and His teachings affect the way we approach Jesus’ command to love our enemies. I also discuss how using the game of Telephone backwards can help us determine what the orthodox position of the Church actually was concerning this command of our Christ.

Power for Change

In Episode 10, I’m going to be discussing the vital need for Christians to believe in the power of regeneration. It’s one thing to say we’re born again, but what does that mean for us in a practical day-to-day sense. I’ll also touch on the subject of homosexuality and Jesus’ interaction with a disabled man in John 5.

Sepia Jesus

Episode 8 is a special episode, where I give the listener an audio version of chapter two of my book, New: Wineskins and the Simple Words of Christ. The title of this chapter is: Sepia Jesus because I believe that every Christian comes to faith in Jesus with various traditions and preferences that filter his or her view of Jesus and His teachings. Jesus, however, calls us to make Him the lens by which we view everything else.

Derek Webb, Fate & Faith

In Episode 7, I’m going to be discussing a heartbreaking, fate-based, false dilemma that I believe musician Derek Webb is currently walking through. Many of you will recognize Derek from his outstanding solo albums, as well as the many years he spent as a cofounder of the Christian band, Caedmon’s Call.

Adopting His Heart

The Perfect Podcast

In Episode 5, I’m going to discuss Matthew 5:48, where Jesus commanded His disciples, “Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect.” How does the context surrounding that verse help us understand what Jesus meant? I’ll also look at how modern teachers have used the hyper grace message to disregard this command of Jesus, and finally how the earliest Christians embraced Jesus’ teaching on this matter.

New: Wineskins & the Simple Words of Christ - Ch. 1

In Episode 4, I’m going to share with you the first chapter of my book, New: Wineskins and the Simple Words of Christ. In this chapter, I talk about what it means to truly make Jesus the Lord of our lives. And I also give a couple of quotes from the earliest Christians that clearly demonstrate how they believed that Jesus is God, and that we should therefore relate to Him as Lord in all that we do.

Hearing From God

In episode 2, I discuss how to hear from God, and how to make room for Him to speak on both an individual and corporate basis. And like always, I’m going to be doing this from an early Christian perspective, with testimonies from the leaders of our faith during the first three centuries of the Church sprinkled in to help frame the conversation.
