Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 12: Where Gender, Faith, and Family Meet (Goodman & Mansfield)
Q: When we talk about gender today, what does that really mean? What are we saying?
Goodman distinguishes eternal gender, biological sex, and social or cultural understandings of gender. Mansfield expands the framework to include biological sex, gendered traits, social gender, and identity.
Episode 12: Where Gender, Faith, and Family Meet (Goodman & Mansfield)
Q: We've talked about gender and sexuality, but why are these issues so important today?
Mansfield says gender affects how people understand themselves and relate to others, while Goodman notes that questions of gender identity and sexual orientation can be painful and affect families and church communities.
Episode 148: Seeing God's Love in Suffering (David B. Ridge)
Q: So what should a modern disciple know about the Book of Job as they study it?
The book invites readers to wrestle with hard questions and to seek personal revelation, showing that true understanding comes from engaging with God rather than expecting easy, piecemeal answers.
Episode 147: The Wisdom of Proverbs (Michael J. Biggerstaff)
Q: How does Proverbs help us think about agency in decision making?
Proverbs presents multiple options and teaches that there isn't always a single right answer; it equips readers to slow down, think through scenarios, and choose the path that aligns with wisdom and covenant relationship.
Episode 3: Preparing for a Successful Marriage (Barbara Morgan Gardner & Brian Willoughby)
Q: What would you say are some of the most important parts to preparation for marriage?
Prioritize developing Christ-like attributes, following the Spirit, and building a foundation of faith and covenantal commitments, then couple that with practical relationship skills like communication, budgeting, and conflict resolution.
