    Your hosting Sam Storms shows you obviously lack discernment. What a shame.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World (Jen Wilkin)
Q: Jen, before your mom's passing, had you thought a lot about aging and bodily decline, or did this become central only after her illness?
The topic was on my radar from years of teaching and thinking about the body, but it coalesced into a central life theme after she passed and I saw the connections between different life stages more clearly.
How to Study the Book of Matthew (Jonathan Pennington)
Q: How can modern readers cultivate a sense of awe and deeper study when reading Matthew?
Through careful, sustained study—asking how each story relates to the ones around it, looking for patterns and themes, and recognizing the Holy Spirit's work in opening understanding—so that the texts reveal a coherent, glorifying picture of Jesus and his mission.
How to Study the Book of Matthew (Jonathan Pennington)
Q: Why does Matthew begin with a genealogy, and how does that shape our reading of the entire book?
The genealogy ties Jesus to Abraham and David, recasting the origin story in three phases and signaling that Jesus's work fulfills God's promises, re-reading Israel's history to show how the entire biblical story converges in Christ.
How to Study the Book of Matthew (Jonathan Pennington)
Q: But if you had to summarize, what would you say? What is it that makes this gospel so amazing?
The gospel is amazing because it presents Jesus as the culmination of Israel's story and the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies, while also introducing a new pattern for discipleship that centers on following Jesus's teaching, life, death, and resurrection.
Struggling to Evangelize? Start Here. (Sharonda Cooper)
Q: What's a practical approach to evangelism in everyday life?
Ask questions, take a genuine interest in others, listen, and look for natural openings to share what Jesus has done in your life, avoiding pressure while staying ready to discuss the gospel.
