The New Testament letter of 1 Peter often gets short changed. But what if this letter holds a special relevance for us today? This conversation with Dr. Janette Ok, professor of New Testament at Fuller Seminary, brings to light how we can continue to connect this ancient letter to Christian life today and how the letter's author uses 'ethnic reasoning' to help shape Christian community. Scott and Janette discuss Janette's contributions to the upcoming volume, The New Testament in Color, and how Asian American biblical interpretation serves as a gift to the whole church. Plus, Janette shares her exciting vision for a church, guided by the Spirit's power, and capable of living with disagreement while rooted in the person of Christ.Books by Dr. Janette Ok (author or editor:)https://www.amazon.com/Constructing-Ethnic-Identity-Peter-Testament/dp/0567698548https://www.ivpress.com/the-new-testament-in-colorLearn more about Highrock's Theology Lab: highrock.org/theologylabfacebook: / highrocktheologylabhttps://www.instagram.com/theologylab1/X: https://twitter.com/Theology_LabPodcast includes original music ("Imagination") written by Dean Payla, produced by PALA.Theology Lab is run out of Highrock church: highrock.org#theology#bible#scripture#janette_okRecorded June 4, 2024.

Have you ever wondered what to do with some of the challenging parts of the Bible, such as passages and stories of apparently divinely inspired violence and war? If you're interested in how we might approach such passages -- along with the Bible as a whole — with honesty, curiosity, and especially humility, then you'll likely appreciate this session! Moderator Scott Rice is joined by Karen Keen, author of "The Word of a Humble God: On the Origins, Inspiration and Interpretation of Scripture."

How do we keep our spiritual formation fresh? One way is by regularly exercising our theological imaginations! Our first offering of this series looks at a diverse set of engagements with “Scripture & Tradition.”In conversational interviews with experts in their field, we’ll explore a proposal on understanding the complexities of the Bible and how it came together as tools that help create (and not hinder!) a more vibrant faith and relation to God. We’ll also consider approaches that allow us to see the value of our own experiences and communal traditions when reading the Bible.Come join us for a set of conversations on learning a more nuanced, wholistic understanding of what it means to read the Bible well.Learn more about Highrock's Theology Lab: highrock.org/theologylabfacebook: / highrocktheologylabhttps://www.instagram.com/theologylab1/X: https://twitter.com/Theology_LabPodcast includes original music ("Imagination") written by Dean Payla, produced by PALA.Theology Lab is run out of Highrock church: highrock.org

What gives us hope that life is more than money? That real, abundant life is found in freedom toward God and others? Certainly, testimonies to lives of generosity and transformation can. That's what this session, the final installment in our God & Money series, is all about. Nikki Toyama-Szeto (Christians for Social Action) and Paul Hawkinson (Transform Capital) share how God has showed up in their lives and called them into new adventures that have re-shaped not only their outlooks on money but also on things like leisure, the gift of community, and what wisdom looks like when we have to make big (and small) decisions.

Hopkins (University of Chicago), along with moderator Scott Rice, discuss the connection between faith, capitalism, and race.

How do questions about race challenge some of the standard narratives about how we relate to wealth and capitalism? In this conversation, Jonathan and Dwight lay out the theological visions that animate their work, how they think about a relation to capitalism, and how they navigate some of the differences in their respective proposals on relating to capitalism.

After a series of discussions with several high profile figures from both within and outside of evangelicalism, we are led to ask, "So what?" How have these discussions shaped us? What new questions do they raise? And what hope do we have for individuals and faith communities who have been shaped by evangelicalism? In this final segment of the American Evangelicalism Theology Lab, panelists Meghan DeJong (Highrock Church), Kristin Lee (contributing author at outlets like Christianity Today and Sojourners), Walter Kim (National Association of Evangelicals) and John Mury (Highrock Church) take up these questions and more. The discussion not only provides insights into this year's conversations but models the kind of dialogue across differences that we hope might characterize the church (evangelical and otherwise) more and more.
