As a Christian it is such a gift to hear the subtle and the direct insight from a Jewish scholar, working with a Christian scholar. And both bring the gifts of academic work, paired with their obvious experience of helping members of church and synagogue, and college to hear God speaking in the passage. And that them... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 702 Covenant and Sacrifice (Genesis 21:1-3 and 22:1-14)
Q: What does it mean for us to say 'God will see to it'?
It suggests that the provision is ultimately about God's oversight and care, possibly also hinting at an unfolding revelation.
Episode 645 The Fruits of the Spirit (Acts 2:1-4 and Galatians 4:1-7 & 5:13-26) PENTECOST
Q: What do you think about the tension in the world between the Spirit given by God and a person's selfish desires?
The life of the spirit is about not looking out for ourselves first, but about being guided to see the image of God in others.
Episode 645 The Fruits of the Spirit (Acts 2:1-4 and Galatians 4:1-7 & 5:13-26) PENTECOST
Q: Can you help us start thinking about what he's up to there?
Paul is pointing out that when you're a child who is an heir to something, there's potential for autonomy or power, but you don't have it yet, making you similar to a slave at that moment.
Episode 640 The Stoning of Stephen (Acts 6:1-7:2a &44-50)
Q: How would you want to orient us a little bit before we pick up?
Acts is the sequel to the Gospel of Luke, beginning with Jesus' ascension and the empowerment of the apostles to spread the Gospel.
Episode 633 The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31)
Q: Is it this, is he a good person who fell in hard times?
This text is not at all interested in that. And I think it may be suggesting that maybe it doesn't matter.
