Podcast 195: What a Time to Be Alive!

It struck us recently that we are living in momentous times—in terms of technology, current events, and prophetic fulfillment. So today, we touch on just a few of the many reasons why it is quite a time to be alive!

On the program, we refer to this telecast, discussing efforts to colonize Mars and what it takes to actually create a functioning civilization: “How to Build a New World.”

Podcast 194: Simplifying Faith

Faith is often misunderstood, and, to be sure, is a concept rich with meaning. It helps to break it down into simpler ideas that, while having their own profound depths, are perhaps easier to grasp—and to understand how to grow in. Join us today as we discuss a simple take on faith and what it means to have it (or not).

We refer to two resources today—here are links, as well as an excellent bonus resource we forgot about at the time:

P.S. Apparently, there was a repeating clip of the closing music left in the file 10 or 11 minutes after the podcast finishes. Consequently, the files look longer than they are and play for an extra 10 minutes of silence. The YouTube version has been edited and is resetting now, and the file that uploads to Apple and Spotify should be corrected soon, as well. Our apologies! Feel free to click to someting else after the 58 minutes and 42 seconds are over. Or, if you need 10 minutes of silence, well, feel free to play that, too. Might even be good for you!

Podcast 193: Jane Austen & Biblical Thinking

Every book, movie, or miniseries we consume presents an opportunity to practice biblical thinking. So do our conversations later with others about it. So, we practice that today, ourselves, by looking at some of Jane Austen’s works—favorites of some of our listeners—and discuss biblical principles they might prompt us to consider.

The earlier podcast referred to near the beginning, by the way, is right here: “Podcast 115: You Become Your Entertainment.”

Podcast 192: Relationship Red Flags & Green Flags

At some point in the lives of young adults, dates begin to narrow from showing someone a nice time or enjoying a social activity with a friend to “OK, which of these folks are husband or wife material?” (Or, equally important, “Am I husband or wife material?”) On today’s episode, we take a listener question and apply some biblical thinking to the question of “red flags” and “green flags” concerning the sort of people we should be looking for—and striving to be—as the possibilities of marriage open up.

During the episode, we also mention old podcasts we’ve done on dating, as well as some other resources. Here is a filtering of this website that should collect a number of resources that mention dating—not just podcasts, but some articles, as well.

Podcast 191: Taming Your Shoggoth

We know it’s a weird title, but bear with us for a bit… Lift the hood (or bonnet for some of our non-U.S. friends) on A.I. and you see some strange things. But some of those strange things can teach us a lot about our own battle with human nature and about what God is trying to achieve in our lives. Join us today as we look at just one fascinating (if a little terrifying) example.

Podcast 190: Seven Tools for Self-Examination

In God’s Festivals, the spring Holy Days are a time of self-examination. While we might hear the admonition to examine ourselves fairly frequently, how do you go about doing that? Are there any “boots on the ground,” practical approaches? Yes, there are. Today, we share seven approaches you can use, not just during this Festival season, but any time.

We also mention a few resources in the podcast. One is the 2023 LCN article, “How to Fast,” and the other is a new Whiteboard on the topic of fasting. We also refer to an old podcast of ours on prayer and biblical meditation (at least I think that is the one).

And we pray you all have a wonderful Sabbath and joyous start to the Spring Holy Days!

Podcast 189: Because of Passover…

Passover is a little more than a week away! As the first of God’s annual festivals and the one picturing Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us, it has much to teach us. Join us today as we discuss five lessons we learn from this momentous day.

We mention a sermon in this week’s podcast—Mr. Gerald Weston’s sermon, “Passover Resolutions.” If you’re interested, click through to see it. It is a great message for this important time of year.
