Episode 61: Taken Hold Of (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1887, a homeless poet mailed his work to a London magazine with a post office for a return address, and the editor went looking for him. In today's passages God plants a vine, writes a law, sends His Son into the vineyard, and closes His hand on a man running the other way. Every church's liturgy teaches you who reaches first. This episode asks what changes when you start Monday from Christ's grip on you.
Episode 60: Is the Lord With Us or Not? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Crossing South Georgia Island in 1916, three exhausted men each sensed a fourth walking beside them — and none of them mentioned it until later. Israel asked the same thing at Rephidim, thirsty, in a camp God's own directions had led them to. Josh works through Exodus 17, Psalm 78, Ezekiel 18, Matthew 21, and Philippians 2 to trace how the question gets answered: a rock struck before witnesses, a story told to children, a summons to turn and live, and a Son who took the form of a servant. Worshi
Episode 59: God's Frustrating Mercy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Charles II pardoned nearly everyone in 1660, the royalists who had bankrupted themselves for the crown coined a bitter slogan: indemnity for the king's enemies, oblivion for his friends. They had a case. Somebody always pays for a pardon. Josh works through Exodus 16, Psalm 105, Jonah 3–4, Matthew 20, and Philippians 1 for anyone who has scanned the list of people God has welcomed and found a name there they hold in contempt. God has room for an honest complaint. Worship theology for the fr
Episode 58: Who Sits in the Seat of Judgment? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On November 1945, four nations with every reason for vengeance sat down below the bench and handed the gavel to a tribunal. Most of us are less generous with our own case files. Josh works through Genesis 50, Exodus 14, Psalm 103, Matthew 18, and Romans 14 to ask one question: who actually sits in the seat of judgment? Joseph declined the chair. A forgiven servant grabbed it. Christ held that authority and used it by taking a sentence instead. Worship theology for the front lines of life and min
Episode 57: God Did for Me What I Could Never Do for Myself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jean Valjean walks out of nineteen years in the galleys knowing exactly what his own hands can do — and then stands free in a courtyard on the strength of a word he had no part in earning. Josh traces that same movement across Exodus 12, Psalm 119, Ezekiel 33, Matthew 18, and Romans 13: a house marked by blood God supplied, a heart God turns, a summons God sends, and a Savior who reaches first. If there's a conversation you've been waiting for the other person to start, this episode puts it on y
