Don't Lust Anymore! ...Really?? (SOM 37 pt. 1)

In this Gospel Rant podcast and the next we are looking at Jesus' command that we should not ever lust—but honestly—how do we pull that off? It is very much like the previous command, don’t be angry, don’t belittle anyone with your words or actions, or even a nasty look. Sure, we agree, but how? That condemns us all. And the suggestion that if you feel lust, you should remove an eye? Is he being literal? Is hell really at stake? Is he ramping the law up that high? Or, is he being wonderfully satirical???? And somehow we stopped getting the joke. Let’s see. Come all who struggle with lust or porn. Good news.

Don't Be Angry Anymore! ...Really??? (SOM 36 pt. 2)

Welcome to Gospel Rant. Dr. Bill is continuing on this eye-opening radical journey through the Sermon on the Mount (not a sermon or a mount). We are at Matthew 5:21-26. This is the second part of the podcast about the “New” command to not be angry or to speak destructively to others. But, here’s the joke, we all do it. What is Jesus referring to? What is he brilliantly teaching? Check it out.

Don't Be Angry Anymore! ...Really??? (SOM 35 pt. 1)

Dr Bill is taking us on an informative and provocative journey through the Sermon on the Mount. It is the capstone of the entire gospel message of Jesus. If we don’t understand what Jesus is saying and means to say, it will affect our experience of Him and His Spirit. We think that your life will be changed as you wrestle with us on this path.

About it, Frederick Bruner writes, “I think something actually happens to listening people when Jesus’ Beatitudes are passed on to them…The Beatitudes are concentrated Gospel…The person for whom the experience of impoverishment is a spiritual crisis, who groans in his or her spirit under the poverty, who is on the way down and who cries out—to this person Jesus announces, “Look up! I am here, taking your part, and the Kingdom I bring is especially for you!” (160)

The Sermon on the Mount 34: The Law versus Jesus (pt 4)

Welcome to Gospel Rant. Dr. Bill is continuing on this eye-opening radical journey through the Sermon on the Mount (not a sermon or a mount). We are at Matthew 5:17-20. What did Jesus--and what are we today to make of the Law? There is a lot of misunderstanding related to Jesus and his view of the Law. Jesus loved the Law. He wrote it. Jesus' view of the Law is wildly sophisticated. The problem is that what he did was too good to believe. You will see what we mean.

Christian Desert Ammas: Contemplative Midwives Part 2

This is part 2 of 2 episodes profiling the Christian Desert Ammas. These women lived in the 3rd-6th century and helped shape Christianity. Often ignored and undervalued, they had a tremendous impact on the culture and people around them. They were sought after for their advice and connection with the Divine. They worked alongside the Abbas of the desert and many influenced the early Church fathers.

This is a labor of love for Chelsea, who has spent the past 3 years studying these amazing and life-giving women. To all they met, they were spiritual midwives helping to transition each person in unity with God. This episode will talk about the desert ammas as spiritual midwives, spiritual guides and unveil their spiritual practices.

The two books mentioned (although there are too many to put here - we will list our favorites in our after the show blog next week):

Praying with the Desert Mothers by Mary Forman
The Desert Mothers: Spiritual Practices from the Women of the Wilderness by Mary Earle
