The Enemy and the Allure of Now - Jesus and the Revolution, Part 03 The divine rescue - of which the ministry of Jesus is the decisive act - is not merely to be understood as the securing of a heavenly afterlife for the faithful, but the restoration of a fallen creation. To be "saved" is to be set free, to be healed an... |

A Prophet as of Old - Prophet of the Kingdom: Jesus and the Revolution, Part 02 God's Revolution to Restore All Creation begins with a cry to all Israel to prepare for war.

Prophet of the Kingdom: Jesus and the Revolution, Part 01 - A Call to Revolution! At the heart of Jesus's ministry is the declaration that "the Kingdom of God has come near!"

Resting for the Kingdom - Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 19 The one commandment I disregard without a second thought is the one about resting. The irony, of course, is that I often ignore this divine call to honor the sabbath in what feels like the work of the Kingdom. And it has been more clear in the last tw... |

The Loving Road to Justice - Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 18 No, your eyes do not deceive you...the podcast is back! (It never really left, but was definitely on leave of absence for a while...very sorry about that - some of the details are in the intro.) Then it's on to part 18 of our series: Hope in the Time ... |

| 2021-07-29 | Does the 21st century nation state of Peru play an essential role in salvation history? Short answer: Of course not. God loves Peruvians! But Peru the cultural/political body is not critical to the plan redemption. So why do many American Christians s... |

Admitting the Problem (of Sin) - Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 16 For some very helpful resources, here is a link to Canvas's Continual Learning series on Racial Justice How do I, as a white, well-educated, heterosexual, Protestant, cis male, who would never knowingly sanction racism of any sort, reflect on "system... |

On Love, Hope and Change - Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 15 Hope is the belief that things can change for the better. And it is the question the gospel persistently sets before us: Are we naive in thinking that meaningful transformation is possible? And more naive still to believe that love is the means by whic... |

What God Wants? Justice, Mercy and Humility! - Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 14 "How does one appease a deity? Gain a favor? Avert a curse?" Such questions stood at the center of Ancient Near Eastern religion (and of many cultures since...). And thus great effort has been dedicated to rituals and ceremonies and strict adherence to... |

Jesus and Divine Justice - Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 13 As those called to share in God's project of restoration, justice is at the heart of our work. But what does the Bible mean by "justice"? The term easily conjures feelings and images not shalom (peace), but punishment - that divine justice is defined b... |
