2 | What is the Bible? Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

We are looking forward to diving into our first theological topic here on Resident Strangers - The Bible! Steve Engram and Rich Holland kick off their conversation with Sarah Schalow by starting with defining what the Bible is. This is the first item that appears on the Doctrinal Statement of Desert Springs Community Church (you can see the full doctrinal statement below). A big controversy in our current culture is the question of the inerrancy of the Bible. Steve and Rich do not shy away from this and spend a good portion of this episode talking through how to know that the Bible is true. They also talk through how to think about the Old Testament, especially the Law, in the world that we live in today. You will have a better understanding of the importance of The Bible after listening to this episode. Next week Steve and Rich will be diving into some questions about the Bible so make sure you join us again next Tuesday!

1 | What is Theology and Why Should We Care About It? Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the first episode of Resident Strangers! Our hosts Steve Engram and Rich Holland are joined by Sarah Schalow as they lay the groundwork for what this podcast will be. You'll get to know Steve and Rich on a personal level, but they pretty quickly jump into how to think like a Christian in this foreign world that we live in. The year 2020 was unknowingly a catalyst for wanting to create a space to have conversations about why studying theology is important. So, that's exactly what is discussed in today's episode - what is theology and why should we care about it? Listen in as we kick off Resident Strangers! We look forward to continuing to share with you this fall!
