Recovering the Fear of God in the Church Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

When we're living in constant emergency mode, can we turn it all off on Sunday? Can we come together with our different backgrounds and experiences and sing the same songs, hear the same prayers, make the same confession? In this episode, the WHI hosts diagnose the problem underlying the lack of fear of the Lord: a weak view of sin and a mediocre appreciation for God's holiness. They consider how Sunday worship serves to remind us of who God is and who we are before him. In his church, Christ ministers to us through word and sacrament, and as we lift our eyes to heaven, our sanity can be restored.

Overcoming the Fear of the Other Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

Psalm 27:1 says, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" In this episode, the WHI hosts explore what happens when this verse is not a reality for us. Trapped in a blame game that goes back to the garden, we fear each other—not the Lord. We confuse the kingdom of Christ with Caesar's Rome and begin to use, exploit, and oppose the "other," rather than seeing people made in God's image. But when we live in the fear of the Lord, we in turn love our neighbors, worshipping together in anticipation of the feast around the Lord's table with the diverse community for whom Christ died—people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Fear Not: Moving From Terror to Trust Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

All our fears can be encapsulated in three words: security, life, and justification. But the Bible repeatedly tells us, "Fear not!" So how do we live without fear? In this episode, the WHI hosts consider how fear can shift from terror to trust, from law and gospel. They examine the biblical promises that undergird the commands to fear not, celebrating the comfort found in facing our fears united to Christ.

Losing Our Sanity: What We're Afraid Of Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

People today are living in a constant state of fear. The fight or flight instinct has become a routine way of life, subverting fact gathering and fact checking, and causing careful deliberation, logical thought, and empathy towards others to take a holiday. In this first episode discussing Michael Horton's new book, Recovering Our Sanity: How the Fear of God Conquers the Fears That Divide Us, the WHI hosts consider both the gift of fear and its manipulation. They discuss what we fear and why, and how the gospel of Christ offers an alternate perspective on what threatens us. Michael Horton also reflects on how his emergency heart surgery earlier this year has continued to shape his thoughts on fear and its antidote.

Word-Saturated Prayer Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

Scripture has much to say about prayer, both in its teaching about who God is as the one who enables and receives our prayers, and in the way it gives language for every human circumstance and emotion. In this episode of White Horse Inn, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Adriel Sanchez look beyond the Lord's Prayer to other biblical passages that give shape to how we approach God in prayer, allowing us to communicate with praises, laments, statements of intention, and questions.

Our Father in Heaven Jul 03, 2022

Show notes

Although prayer is something we do, the way we pray reflects our understanding of who God is. In this episode of White Horse Inn, Justin Holcomb and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest pastor Adriel Sanchez as they unpack the first part of the Lord's Prayer, asking questions like, what is the theology that undergirds our practice of prayer? What is the ordinary and gospel-shaped reality of prayer? And what are we actually saying when we pray, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"?
