Kimlyn Bender joins the podcast to discuss the theology of the word and preaching that has formed the context for the Fellowship gatherings of CPT Fellows. We talk about the nature of the word of God and how that relates to preaching, particularly within the context of evangelicalism’s focus on the text of Scripture, expanding particularly on the statement in the Second Helvetic Confession of Faith that the preaching of the word of God is the word of God. Our conversation touches on Karl Barth, Martin Luther, Søren Kierkegaard, authority in the pulpit, the presence of the risen Christ, and more!

Does there come a point where we stop listening to preachers? The recent revelations about Billy Graham lead to a conversation about 'imperfect heroes'--like Martin Luther King, Jr.--and teachers whose hidden lives undermine their ministry, like Ravi Zacharias and Karl Barth.

Then, should children be able to choose their gender?, and Brian and Aubrey pack a theoretical time capsule from 2023 for their grandchildren.

It's the end of the Merkel era in Germany. We take a look at the faith and politics of this remarkable leader who has been at the helm of Europe's largest economy for almost 16 years. Then, we step a little further back in German history to explore the life and work of Karl Barth, a prolific theologian who was one of the main authors of the Barmen Declaration – a document resisting the Nazification of the church.

Dr. Oord discusses the concept of "divine election" from an Open and Relational perspective.

"God's patience empowers us to act. ... Human beings are called to respond to God's patience. Human beings are called to make good on God's patience. The covenant of grace, which is fulfilled in Christ and which is animated by the spirit, makes that a possibility. It's not an easy possibility of real life. I mean, not just because of sin and finitude, but because of the complexities of the world that we live in. But learning how to respond to God's patience, both through forms of waiting, through forms of activity, and sometimes through moments of intemperate resistance is I think at the heart of Christian life."

Theologian Paul Dafydd Jones comments on the bearing of God's patience on human experience and action. The patience of Christ-incarnate means that Christ is patience-incarnate. This makes it possible to "live otherwise"—contesting the reign of sin and resisting evil by responding to God's patience. Jones emphasizes the togetherness and solidarity of God with creation. And suggests the importance of appreciating the complexity of Christian faith.

Part 3 of a 6-episode series on Patience, hosted by Ryan McAnnally-Linz.

• "God's patience occurs at a pace that is rarely congenial to us ... the world's history is not unfolding at the pace or the shape we would like."
• "God gives ancient Israel the time and space to accuse.  God is patient with expressions of trauma, expressions of guilt, expressions of deep anguish. And God is so patient with them that they get included in the Canon."
• "Some of the most powerful, skeptical, doubtful, angry moments, are found in the psalms."
• "God patiently beholds the suffering of God's creatures, particularly with respect to ancient Israel, that somehow the traumas of creaturely life are present to God, and God in some sense has to bear or endure them."

• "Christians often are not comfortable with complexity. We want to think in terms of assurance. And we want that assurance to be comforting in a fairly quick-fire away. I think theologians have the task of exposing that as an ersatz hope and insisting that faith includes complexity. It involves lingering over ambiguity. Trying to fit together. multi-dimensional beliefs that are this lattice work—none of which can be reduced to a pithy, marketing quip."

I mean, not just because of sin and finitude, but because of the complexities of the world that we live in. But learning how to respond to God's patience, both through forms of waiting, through forms of activity, and sometimes through moments of intemperate resistance is I think at the heart of Christian life."
• "People should not get in the way of human flourishing ... brought about by the empowering patience of the Holy Spirit. ... That's a gospel moment. That's a kairos moment."

Are you sedating your pain with leisure instead of healing yourself with a true Sabbath rest?  In this episode, we explore the importance of entering into true obedience that leads to the recharging of the soul and physical rest.  From the beginning of creation until our current chaotic reality few things have remained the same, but one is constant, the Sabbath was created for us.  Lean in and be challenged as we continue to journey through the Gospels.

Jamie Howison's sermon for the Second Sunday after Pentecost, June 14, 2020, on Genesis 18:1-15 & 21:1-7.

This sermon was offered on yet another Sunday on which our community was unable to gather in the church building, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were just seven of us present to lead the liturgy and provide the music, with a much larger congregation being gathered through Facebook Live. The full service is available as a video on our website.
