The Constructionist Podcast: Bible, Renewing & Mind

Hello friends. In this episode of the Constructionist Podcast Caleb attempts to do his presentation in the car while driving. His subject is Metaphysics and Prosopological reading of the Bible. Heavy subjects while driving along!!

In the temptation narrative of Jesus we read about the devil quoting the Bible to Jesus in an effort to get him to do something that is not the will of the Lord. This is a serious issue in the church today and one that needs to be addressed carefully. Join Caleb in this episode as he explains the nuances of what happens when one person quotes a passage of the Bible that seems to contradict the Word of God. 

Humans don’t know it but interpretation is fundamental to our daily existence. A thought in the head must be correctly translated to come out of the mouth. Then the hearers need to have a correct context to fully apprehend the message. Join Caleb on this new Constructionist Podcast in exploring the challenges to communication interpretation

Love, love, love. It was the main topic of 60s music and the Beatles said all you needed was love. But what kind of love are we talking about. 60s music philosophy has failed but God gives us clear guidelines in the Bible about how to love. What's needed is knowledge and discernment. Join Caleb in this episode as he explores this much misunderstood topic. 

Every day people eat. And people eat a LOT every day. But statistically almost nobody reads their Bible every day. Why? The Bible calls itself food for the spirit and the spirit is more important than the body. Join Caleb in this episode to discover the extreme necessity of spiritual food.

Many years ago the prophet Jeremiah explained how to make Israel cease as a nation. In this episode Caleb lays out what the prophet Jeremiah said and how to make it happen today. 

Last week the Islamic organization called Hamas illegally entered Israel and killed over a thousand people. They also took over 100 people hostage back into the Gaza Strip. This act of aggression caused Israel to declare war on Hamas. This is a war that they will not win. In this episode of the Constructionist Podcast Caleb explains from ancient prophecies in Genesis why Hamas has no chance of winning. 

Psalm 41 is a challenge to read in that Jesus Himself says that it must be fulfilled and yet the Psalm has no prophetic language in it. How are we to understand the way Jesus understands the Old Testament? What's up with Judas and Peter?

Many get baffled by how the New Testament uses the Old Testament. Part of why we are baffled is because we read the Bible not from the perspective of the 1st century readers, but from our own Western modern cultural view. Join Caleb in this episode as he examines the way the writer of Hebrews uses David's Psalm 40 in such a way that both David and Jesus are able to speak clearly and freely.

We tend to say things and assume we are understood. The Reality is that there is much more to understanding meaning than meets the eye. In this episode of the Constructionist Podcast Caleb brings an introduction to the mental discipline of hermeneutics, or discovering meaning in words. 

The New Testament and the Old Testament work together in one harmonious whole. This episode has Caleb exploring the meaning of the resurrection as presented in Psalm 16 and preached on by Peter in Psalm 2. Paul calls the resurrection an absolute necessity in order for our faith to have any meaning. It's a vitally important topic!!
