  • Please bring back guest theologians

    Please please bring back guest theologians. The diversity of perspectives and backgrounds added so much depth and really challenged me to think in different ways.

    Kaitlyn is incredibly gifted and thoughtful, and one of my favorite parts was hearing her draw out insights from guests through her questions. I really miss that dynamic.

    Even if it’s once a month, plzzz bring back guests 🙏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Jesus was a baby, did he know everything?
Q: Did Jesus know everything when he was a baby?
No, the discussion argues that while Jesus is fully God, he grew in wisdom and understanding as a human, and there isn't a moment in scripture that clearly proves he knew everything from birth; the hypostatic union explains how he possessed both full humanity and full divinity without reducing either nature.
Freewill, predestination, or both?
Q: What should I do to get started in the Bible?
Start wherever you're currently reading in the Bible and ask questions about who God is and how He acts.
Why do we bow our heads when we pray?
Q: Why do we bow our heads when we pray when God is not standing in front of us?
We bow our heads to remind ourselves and each other that God is with us, that God is greater than us, and that we need God.
Why Did God Choose Mary?
Q: Why did God choose such a young woman to be the mother of Jesus?
The choice highlights God's nature of favoring the vulnerable and subverting social expectations, as seen in the contrast between Mary and Zechariah.
What Does the Magi Story Really Tell Us About Jesus?
Q: How long did it take for them to get to the manger?
It's likely they took months or even up to two years to arrive, as indicated by Herod's actions.
