  • My Go-to Podcast

    I always learn so much from Krista and usually, Monique. Their biblical approach is carefully considered, compassionate and clearly conveyed. I especially loved the recent episode about immigration, how absolutely CRAZY it has been.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 'Already/Not Yet' of Christian Forgiveness (with Fr Hayden Butler)
Q: Does inner release of pain and bitterness without the offender's repentance count as forgiveness?
Butler considers a purely inward, therapeutic release inadequate because forgiveness is ordered toward relationship and reconciliation. He also cautions against requiring perfect or fully convincing repentance before beginning any part of forgiveness.
The 'Already/Not Yet' of Christian Forgiveness (with Fr Hayden Butler)
Q: Must the offender repent first before forgiveness can take place?
Butler says Christians can begin releasing the debt, healing, and praying for an offender before repentance is evident. Relational reconciliation, however, depends on the offender's willingness to acknowledge the harm and make amends, and may remain impaired.
Setting the Record Straight: The Truth About the Curse of Ham (with Dr. Joe Miller)
Q: So give us a little bit of an explanation of what is a federal head or what is a covenant representative. And then let's talk about, is this actually in the text?
Miller defines federal headship as representative leadership, using Adam and Christ as examples. He says applying it to Noah's sons as representatives of all their biological descendants goes beyond what Genesis says.
Setting the Record Straight: The Truth About the Curse of Ham (with Dr. Joe Miller)
Q: So give us the big picture here, Joe. What is Partridge arguing with this story? What's kind of the macro narrative that he wants to build?
Miller says Partridge treats Noah's sons as federal heads of racial groups and extends Canaan's curse through Ham to African peoples, portraying them as destined for subordination. Miller argues this combines theological ideas and historical assumptions that are not established by the text.
Reclaiming Reality in a Postmodern World | The War on Reality with Phoenix Hayes
Q: Why frame it as a war on reality and who is the enemy?
The hosts and Phoenix discuss postmodernism as the battlefield where misinformation, coercion, and deception vie for dominance, with the spiritual dimension being central, and the book framing truth as aligned with God against counterfeits.
