Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (Conversation with Aimee Byrd) - KR 156

Join us for the Urban Leadership Symposium on Aug. 12, 2020. Register here >> https://bit.ly/Ubran_Leadership_Symposium Do men and women benefit equally from God's word? Are they equally responsible in sharpening one another in the faith and passing it down to the next generation? While radical feminists claim that the Bible is a hopelessly patriarchal construction by powerful men that oppresses women, evangelical churches simply reinforce this teaching when we constantly separate men and women, customizing women's resources and studies according to a culturally based understanding of roles. Do we need men's Bibles and women's Bibles, or can the one, holy Bible guide us all? Is the Bible, God's word, so male-centered and authored that women need to create their own resources to relate to it? No! And in it, we also learn from women. Women play an active role as witnesses to the faith, passing it on to the new generations.

Race and the Kingdom (Coversation with Derwin Gray - Rebroadcast) - KR 23

Racial tension is at a high point. The embodiment of the Kingdom found in the New Testament and lived out through the Church was to be a vision of unity and diversity. The Church in America, unfortunately, has remained one of the most segregated organizations instead of being a vision for unity and diversity. Pastor Derwin Gray and Transformation Church is a shining light of how the Church can be the type of diverse community it was intended to be.

The Gospel and the Pastor (Parchman Lecture Series | Trueett Seminary | Part 3) - KR 151

How you define “the gospel,” says a lot about how you will live out your faith. Scot unpacks how the desire to see people saved has forced evangelicalism to see the gospel in a way different from the New Testament. Most evangelical views on the gospel lead to a salvation culture and not a gospel culture. In this lecture, Scot urges pastors to foster a community of good news that the gospel creates.

Universalism and the Pastor (Parchman Lecture Series | Truett Seminary | Part 2) - KR 150

Why did evangelicalism get so upset about Love Wins by Rob Bell and pay so till attention to Allah by Miroslav Volf? Scot suggests that evangelicals have foundational beliefs concerning responding to God that goes against the grain of what universalism suggests. In this lecture, Scot compares and contrasts the texts and theories that seem to be open to universalism and the texts that seem to make judgment leading to hell a reality. What becomes clear in examining this topic is that evangelicalism had a very clear fault line that Rob Bell’s book revealed.

Paul's Works of the Law (Conversation with Dr. Matthew Thomas) - KR 139

Buy Paul’s ‘Works of the Law ‘ in the Perspective of Second Century Reception by Matthew Thomas >> https://amzn.to/2M0S5Sn Paul writes that we are justified by faith apart from 'works of the law', a disputed term that represents a fault line between 'old' and 'new' perspectives on Paul. Was the Apostle reacting against the Jews' good works done to earn salvation, or the Mosaic Law's practices that identified the Jewish people? In this episode, Scot and Matthew examines how Paul's second century readers understood these points in conflict, how they relate to 'old' and 'new' perspectives, and what their collective witness suggests about the Apostle's own meaning. Surprisingly, these early witnesses align closely with the 'new' perspective, though their reasoning often differs from both viewpoints. They suggest that Paul opposes these works neither due to moralism, nor primarily for experiential or social reasons, but because the promised new law and covenant, which are transformative and universal in scope, have come in Christ.
