4.13 - Synchronous Digital Discipleship Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

This week the guys get into the strengths and liabilities of "synchronous" digital discipleship - Zoom, Facebook Live, online worship, etc. They also dive into the possibilities of "cyber" church - is it a viable option for the future church? Is it something the church should prepare for and be ready to embrace?

4.12 - Asynchronous Digital Discipleship Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

The guys are on the second week of their digital discipleship topic. This week's episode focuses on "asynchronous" digital media - media that we interact with not in real time. The ACP podcast is an example of this type of media. There are some great digital resources out there for the church today and the guys offer some pros and cons.

4.11 - Digital Discipleship Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

The guys take a break from the Intro to Biblical Interpretation series to engage the topic of digital discipleship. How would Jesus have interacted with technology and the internet? What does a healthy approach to technology look like for the Church?

4.10 - The Role of Tradition and Scripture Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

After taking John's most recent After Class pop quiz the guys dive into the topic of tradition and its relationship to Scripture. Church tradition can be one of those issues that polarizes and separates us - even from one church building to another. Fortunately there are some relevant New Testament passages that can help us navigate between the options.

4.9 - Forming the Canon Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

This week the guys get into more detail about how the biblical canon was formed as they share the timeline for when the New Testament books were recognized as canon by the early church. Not all of the NT books were immediately recognized as "Scripture" by the early church and getting the Bible as we have it today was more of a process than you may think.

4.8 - The Process of Canonization Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

The guys dive into the topic of canonization this week. How did we get the Bible and all 66 books as we have them? Who decided which writings made it in and which writings were relegated as merely interesting, but not inspired Scripture? Can we trust that process? The guys share what we know for sure and discuss some of the areas that are slightly more murky.

4.7 - How the Bible was Made Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Ever wonder how we got the Bible as we have it? This week the guys discuss how the Story of the Bible started as oral traditions in a primarily oral culture and over centuries made it to the written form we have today. With so many steps along the way - can we be certain of its credibility and trust that it's not been tampered with? Absolutely! Listen in as the guys explain the process.

4.6 - Bible Basics - What it is and isn't Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

What is the Bible anyway? The Bible is something God intended us to understand - that doesn't mean there isn't some mystery to it now and then. This week the guys continue the Bible Basics series by offering answers for what the Bible is and what it isn't.

4.5 - Scripture as God's Word Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

So why do we view all 66 books of the Bible as God's Word? What does it mean for Scripture to be "God-breathed"? This week the guys continue to search the Bible for what it means for Scripture to be the inspired and authoritative words of God.

4.4 - The Word of God in Scripture Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

This week as the guys continue the series on all things Bible they zero in on what it means to call the Bible, "God's Word". They do the leg work and offer a cliff note's version of all the passages where "Word of God" or "Word of the Lord" is mentioned in Scripture. Give it a listen and join the discussion.
