You Are What You Love 25:34

1+ y ago25:34

25:34

Our bodies become what we put in them, with nutrition and exercise we get health; with junk food we get flabby. What about our hearts? Our hearts do not eat things like our body and mouths do. Rather, our hearts love and by our loving, we become (eventually) the object of our loves. We live only by loving and God does not encourage less but MORE lo…

Life After, Life after Death 29:35

1+ y ago29:35

29:35

Death and taxes. These are certain. What comes after taxes is less money in our pocket. What comes after death is, for Christians, often thought to include floating clouds, spirits, and cherubim. This is not the life that Jesus and the New Testament promise. In this podcast, and with the help of N. T. Wright, we consider how the bodily resurrection…

More than Moral 29:10

1+ y ago29:10

29:10

Most people, whether Christian or not, have enough sense to know that we should not exploit one another. Instead, we should treat one another with respect and morality. Christians often think that "being moral" is all that God calls Christians to in their personal life and the workplace. This is wrong. God calls Christians to much more, and it is s…

Our Image as Makers 27:17

1+ y ago27:17

27:17

Most of us do not consider ourselves "artists" and under one definition of artists, most of us are not. Yet, everyone makes things. Christian believe that humans are made in God's image and that all humans are makers. Fujimura uses this imagery and his expertise as an artist to present a life vision characterized by beautiful making--even for those…

Changing The World? 24:40

1+ y ago24:40

24:40

Jesus changed the entire world and he asks his followers to do nothing less. But what does this mean and how are Christians supposed to go about doing it? Some think that "love is all we need"--as long as Christians love people, cultural change will follow suit. Others disagree and think that Christian need to be strategic in influencing cultural i…

The Public Common Ground 25:20

2y ago25:20

25:20

How are Christians to accomplish good objectives in the market place and the public square? God works through various means and Christians must find common ground to achieve goals with those who do not share their worldview. In this episode, we talk about the pitfalls and benefits of this approach and how we we think Christians can prayerfully and …

Why Work? 35:29

2y ago35:29

35:29

Why do we work? Most of us work but rarely do we reflect on why we work. Upon some reflection, we see that work is necessary to make a living. Of course this is true, but does the answer stop there? As the second world war came to an end, new vocational and economic possibilities showed themselves. Dorothy Sayers provides a Christian answer to why …

God's Work Behind the Scenes 31:38

Love, the Sum of All Virtue 31:04

2y ago31:04

31:04

Love is perhaps the most profound of all human experiences. From romantic love to friendship, from our loved hobbies and activities. Love takes several different forms. Does the form change when we turn to God's love or the love that God expects of his followers? In this podcast, we look at two authors who describe God's love as, paradoxically, con…

Life Together: Christians in Community 22:24

2y ago22:24

22:24

It is neither a common purpose nor an idea that binds Christians together. Instead, it is Christ himself. Dietrich Bonhoeffer argues that Christians have forgotten their common bond and have emptied the Church's vitality. Even though Bonhoeffer wrote three-quarters of a century ago, his admonishments remain relevant. Join us as we discuss them!…

Hope in Life and in What Is to Come 32:10

2y ago32:10

32:10

There are several diverging perspectives on life. Progressivism thinks that humanity is getting better. Nihilism proposes that there is nothing worth getting better at. For Christians, Easter defines all of life. Easter shows us that our current life is intimately connected with the eternal life to come. Christians have yet to understand this or ac…

Transformed by Union 29:56

2y ago29:56

29:56

What difference does Christ make to how we live in our day-to-day lives? Most think that if Christ even makes a difference, it is simply by providing a rulebook of "do's and don'ts." John Calvin suggests otherwise. It is not a rulebook that Christ gives us--he gives us his very self. This giving of himself results in Christians being mystically "un…

A Free Servant 28:10

2y ago28:10

28:10

What is our duty to our neighbor? Does the gospel obligate us to serve him? Martin Luther argues that the Christian is not obligated to his neighbors since the gospel sets him free. Instead, the Christian is the free servant of his neighbor. Join us as we discuss this paradoxical idea and its implications.…

From Longing to Love 28:07

2y ago28:07

28:07

"Our hearts are restless until they rest in God," Augustine of Hippo said in the 5th century.

Join us as we discuss this critical thinker's enduring importance for us today.Kirjoittanut TrueWorks

In Christ: Our Union and Glory 22:07

2y ago22:07

22:07

A believer's work does not achieve redemption--his work lives out redemption. In this episode, we explore the nature of Jesus Christ's redemption and its significance for the believer. We discuss the believer's union and glorification in Christ and its implications for our professional lives.Kirjoittanut TrueWorks

Rethinking Worldview 30:06

2y ago30:06

30:06

We all see the world in a particular way. We bring beliefs, feelings, history, and assumptions to each moment of our life. This series of assumptions about “the way things really are” is called a "worldview"--the basic lens by which we come to understand the world and our place in it. Join us as we discuss worldview in this episode.…
