FRESH GROUND THEOLOGY

A good question brings us to the Bible and its historical world. The conversation with friends helps us test what we think, and the goal is bigger than winning an argument: to understand Scripture faithfully and love Jesus more deeply.

Nate’s pick

Baal of Peor: Covenant Treason, Divine Council

I love the moment an ancient source sends the conversation somewhere none of us expected. This episode explores Israel’s encounter with Baal of Peor, worship, and loyalty to Yahweh—and includes a thoroughly nerdy detour with David and Wes.

David’s pick

What Does the Incarnation Mean? God Made Flesh at Christmas: Beyond the Flannelgraph

It is hard to select one episode as a “favorite,” but I think this one definitely is in my top five at least. This particular episode sticks out to me because it was functionally a preview of the Rivals to the Kingdom of Yahweh series. This episode touches on topics we had only really hinted at before and opened the door for us to delve deeper into the grand cosmic spiritual war that is all around us.
