Hey friends!
Here's a new episode of our weekly podcast, "Crazy Faith Talk," with colleagues in ministry Steve Bond, Erica Wellner, Sarah Aasheim, and Natalie Downs!

Jesus seems clear in the Gospels that his followers are called to love their enemies and to refuse to answer evil with evil, even forbidding his disciples from using their weapons to protect him in the garden on the night of his arrest. The rest of the New Testament has a profound sense of non-violence as well. But what do we do about the accounts of violence and warfare in the Old Testament, and the times God is described as authorizing that violence? Join us for the final episode of our series, "A Faith of Both Testaments," here on Crazy Faith Talk! https://open.spotify.com/episode/17sImQQxAfr1GNV9HOy3AE?si=NvMjBSoERQ2cipXfJaesuA

We've got a new episode of our weekly podcast, "Crazy Faith Talk!" to share, with colleagues in ministry Steve Bond, Sarah Aasheim, Erica Wellner, and Natalie Downs around the microphone. Listen in here!

The Gospels and the rest of the New Testament speak pretty clearly about the Christian hope of resurrection from the dead, while the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament is a good deal more ambiguous. Sometimes those who die are said to be "gathered to their ancestors," or "go to the grave" or to be in "Sheol," which is depicted as a realm of the dead. Sometimes there is the imagery of life beyond death, of the destruction of death, or of God one day raising up those who have died, but these ideas all represent several different ways of speaking and thinking. How do we make sense of these different perspectives? Join us on this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk! https://open.spotify.com/episode/5caw5iLJ3kDl78NAWPRHt5?si=RSRd9-V6Spu6HmK7kQ69IQ

When New Testament writers see details from the story of Jesus as "fulfillments" of the Hebrew prophets, should we think of them as predictions? Are they meant to be clues hidden in the ancient writings of the Old Testament, or are the New Testament writers doing something different when they quote the Hebrew Scriptures to point to Jesus? And how can it make us better Bible readers to know the original settings and contexts of those earlier writings when they are referenced or quoted by the New Testament? We'll explore these questions together in this episode of Crazy Faith Talk! https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ICayT8KLIDEoCHjjsQnsG?si=-ARVTSnVRH2ItN_gO0YGEg

Hey friends!
We have a new episode of our weekly podcast, "Crazy Faith Talk" to check out here, with colleagues in ministry Sarah Aasheim, Steve Bond, Erica Wellner, and Natalie Downs around the microphone!

One of the most distinctive points of classic Christian theology is the notion of God as "Trinity"--God's existence as One Being in Three Persons, which is a way of saying that Jesus is fully God (as well as being human) and that the Spirit is also fully God. How have Christians read the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in light of the Trinity, and how is that different from how our Jewish neighbors read those same texts? And why might Christians have held onto their insistence that Jesus is fully divine?
