Was it a real angel? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once visited a man in the hospital who had seen an angel in his room just before dawn. He inspired me to think more deeply about angels - and to write this podcast. We look at several Bible stories that involve angels, primarily one in Judges where an angel appears to Gideon and commissions him as a great Judge of Israel. We notice something odd in a few angel stories in the Bible, and this leads us to a much fuller understanding of the meaning of angels to us today.
Evolving Faith: Who is my neighbor? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once spoke to a dying man who was a Native American. He reflected on the differences between the Christian notion of forgiveness and the Native American notion.

Dynamite: Send me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I had a rather short Boy Scout career that ended when I set off some dynamite for fun. We'll look at Isaiah and how he answered the call from God to serve as a prophet. Isaiah ended up the most referenced prophet in the New Testament and perhaps the most impactful prophet of all the Hebrew prophets. We carefully look at how we can more carefully tune our spiritual hearing to be open to the voice of God calling us. We'll also look at how to help others do the same - without risking their spiritua
Old Testament Law: Salvation by Acts? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We consider the common belief that Christ replaced a notion of justification by following the intricacies of Mosaic Law with justification by faith alone. Is this true? What did the Jews of Jesus' day truly believe about being made righteous in the eyes of God? We talk about Jewish man I visited in the hospital and two rabbis who had come to see him. The group of us talked about misconceptions that Christians have about the relevancy of Jewish beliefs and the Old Testament today. We consider wha
