    Christ for You and Why the Gospel Must Stay the Gospel with Justin Perdue (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    What if our efforts to better Christians are actually taking our eyes off Christ? In this edition of Ministry Minded, I sit down with Justin Perdue to talk about just that, as well as how the Bible’s message of “Christ for you” is understood through the law-gospel distinction and why that distinction is so important for pastoral ministry and the life of the church. Despite what you might hear or think, the church doesn’t need a new message for each new cultural moment. We just need the gospel th

    Torah, Freedom, and the Finished Work of Christ with R. L. Solberg (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    From the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 to today, there is a nagging stream of questions surrounding the church and its relationship to the Torah. Are Christians required to keep all the feasts and food laws and Sabbath ordinances just like God’s people of old did? Or are we living in sin if we don’t? Dr. R. L. Solberg and I consider these questions and why they can be answered by God’s Word itself. By looking at Hebrews, Galatians, and other Scriptures, we talk about why Christianity isn’t a chec

    Israel, the Church, and the Hourglass Shape of Scripture with Chad Bird (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Mentioning the word “Israel” nowadays is a surefire way to stir political, theological, or eschatological pots. But Scripture gives us the grammar to make sense of it all through the lenses of fulfillment and expansion. Listen along as Chad Bird and I trace the story God’s telling of the people he’s forming and calling to himself, from Adam to Moses to today, and how every promise God has made is Yes and Amen in Jesus. Chad and his wife Stacy live in Tyler, Texas, where he works as a Scholar-in-

    Wounded Shepherds Identifying with the Wounded Messiah with Raphael Mnkandhla (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode, I’m joined once again by Raphael Mnkandhla for part two of a two-part mini-series reflecting on and reviewing the book The Clay Pot Conspiracy by Dave Harvey. Contrary to what many suppose, God often chooses to build his church through weak leaders, not polished ones. Those who shepherd the church best are those who know what it’s like to be wounded, knowing that theirs is a wounded Savior. Raphael pastors City Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where he lives and serves with

    Writing and Preaching and Throwing Spaghetti at the Wall with Dave Zahl (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode, I’m delighted to share a conversation with my friend and brother in ministry, Dave Zahl, as we reflect on the strange yet holy overlap between writing and preaching. With the pressure to build platforms, establish brands, chase readership, and fine-tune every syllable for maximum virality, it’s easy to forget what moves us or drives us in the first place. But the gospel is a reliving word that reminds us that we’re in the showing-up business, and God’s in the results business. D
