Spiritual Gifts: How Do Healing, Tongues, and Prophecy Work? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What should the Charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit actually look like in the life of the church? In Part 2 of our conversation on the Charismatic gifts, we move beyond the question of whether the gifts continue and into the more practical—and controversial—question of how they operate. What is biblical prophecy? What is the purpose of tongues? How should we think about healing? And how can these gifts be practiced without either suppressing the Spirit or abandoning biblical order? Join us as w
The Tree of life: Job and the Problem of Suffering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What can the story of Job teach us about suffering, grief, and the apparent silence of God? In this episode, we use Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life as an entry point into the ancient and enduring questions raised by the Book of Job.

The Image of God (opens the original)

The Odyssey and The Golden Rule (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What did the ancient Greeks and the Bible have to say about hospitality? In this episode, we explore the Greek concept of xenia in Homer’s Odyssey and compare it with the biblical vision of welcoming the stranger. While both traditions esteem hospitality as a sacred virtue, we’ll see how Jesus radically expands the idea—calling His followers not only to welcome strangers, but to love their neighbors, serve the least among them, and even love their enemies. Along the way, we’ll discover how Chris
Greek Gods versus Yahweh: Divine Intervention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greek mythology is filled with stories of gods intervening in the lives of humanity—but how does that compare to the God of the Bible? In this episode of The Power of Babble , we explore the intersection of Greek mythology, divine action, and biblical theology. What separates the gods of mythology from the one true God? Does God intervene in human history today? How do we reconcile divine sovereignty with human free will? And what do difficult passages like Genesis 6 reveal about God's interacti
