The deep-diving submersible Titan, used to take people to see the wreck of the Titanic, has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean with its passengers and crew aboard. Why are so many people focusing on five missing people out of a global population of more than eight billion? The answer lies in our creation, but what is the answer to our fallen humanity?

“Our country’s second independence day”: Three steps toward racial justice and “enormous joy” Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

According to the Smithsonian Institution, “Juneteenth marks our country’s second independence day.” On this day in 1865, some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, where they announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were free by executive decree. The day became known as “Juneteenth” by the newly freed people in Texas and eventually became a federal holiday. As such, today illustrates the path to cultural transformation our nation urgently needs.

Southern Baptist Convention expels Saddleback Church over women in church leadership Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

When the Southern Baptist Convention met this week, a number of issues were on the docket. None, however, received the same notoriety as the decision to officially sever ties with Saddleback Church over their choice to name women as pastors. But while that final verdict has received most of the attention, the reasoning behind it points to a crucial lesson for applying God’s word to our culture today.

The life, legacy, and controversies of Pat Robertson Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

Pat Robertson passed away Thursday at the age of ninety-three. The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and longtime host of its flagship program, “The 700 Club,” was among the most influential figures in evangelical life for half a century. However, at times, he was also among the most controversial. What can we learn from his legacy to help us build our own in a way that glorifies God and helps people know him better?

Muslims are translating the Bible for Christians: How will your life translate the Bible today? Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Scripture makes clear that our fundamental job as Christians is to help people in every culture know Jesus and follow his word. Far too often, however, we make the mistake of underestimating how creative God can be in accomplishing that task. Two recent examples of the Lord working in unique ways challenge us to think bigger when it comes to what it means to translate his word to the lost around us.

Who destroyed the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine? And why it matters to you Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

Early Tuesday morning, a significant portion of the Nova Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power station along the Dnieper River in Ukraine was destroyed. Now much of Ukraine’s most fertile land—and the projected battleground for its impending assault on Russia’s forces—is underwater. Most have blamed Russia, but is it that simple? And why should it matter to us?
