My Seminary Life

Today I kick off our new series as we revisit some of my old sermons by sharing with you all my testimony and some encouragement from God's Word.

In this episode I discuss how if we are Edmund in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe then we must be Edmund in Prince Caspian and the rest of The Chronicles of Narnia.

This week I discuss what Lewis has written on miracles and their relationship to science and the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. I also rant for a bit on why I think we don't see more miracles in the West.

Today we take an honest look at what Lewis wrote about grief, embarrassment, shame, and suffering.

Sit back, get cozy, for a poetry slam episode of MSL as we talk briefly on a number of topics that come up in the poems of C. S. Lewis. We also discuss the importance of art, creativity, and imagination in the work of the Kingdom.

This week we discuss Lewis' writing wrestling with what are we to make of Jesus' claims to deity. We look at Lewis' use of logic and how he arrives at the conclusion of truth or lunacy.

The summer semester starts today and it's been chosen by the listeners what we will be studying. Our journey into some of C. S. Lewis's writings and my old sermons starts now.

A brief summary of this episode

In this episode I recap what we have been talking about these past few weeks, highlight a few things that didn't make it onto the show, and give you a few of my thoughts on what I thought should have covered in the class.

In this episode I give you the high level version of my Theology of Sanctification paper. Here I define what sanctification is, how suffering plays a role, and a personal example that supports my view.

In this week's show we walk through a Christian classic as Lloyd-Jones breaks down John 17:17-19 for us. I give you my thoughts on his book after rambling about high school English class for a bit

This week we discuss how God uses other people in the body of Christ to grow us up, and how being in community does not mean losing our individuality.

This week we talk about how God can use the dark night of the soul as a way to grow us up. We also talk about lament and why we should not rush through the pain of the dark nights.

Here are my thoughts and experiences after doing prayer journals for my class over the pass three weeks.

In our discussion of "The Pressure's Off" Brandon will reflect on his views of Prosperity Gospel, Christian Hedonism, and Existentialism

The journey begins...again. Join me for the next eight weeks as I reflect on my first class back in seminary, Spiritual Formation.
