| 6/9/26 | 46. Walking Together Towards Glory: Why Friendship Matters | In this episode, we explore the gift of friendship through a biblical lens. We discuss how Scripture's vision of friendship differs from the world's, the common obstacles that keep us from cultivating deep relationships, and the close connection between friendship and discipleship. We also talk about maintaining meaningful long-distance friendships and why these relationships have lasting, even eternal, significance. Whether you're longing for deeper community or seeking to be a better friend, we hope this conversation encourages you to pursue friendship as one of God's good gifts.Resources:The Four Loves by C.S.

| 6/2/26 | 45. Food Is More Than Fuel and "The Supper of the Lamb" by Robert Capon | In this episode, we discuss The Supper of the Lamb by Robert Farrar Capon—a book that is at first glance a cookbook but is really a meditation on food, creation, and the goodness of ordinary life. Capon invites readers to see meals not merely as fuel or nutrition, but as gifts to be received with gratitude and delight.Together, we explore what a distinctly Christian view of food looks like, how modern food culture has shaped our habits and expectations, and why so many of us struggle to enjoy food without guilt, anxiety, or utility. We also consider practical ways to resist a diet-obsessed culture and recover the joy of gathering around the table, savoring creation, and receiving God's gifts with thanksgiving.ResourcesThe Supper of the Lamb by Robert Farrar CaponBread of Life by Abigail DoddsEpisode 9: Hospitality | — | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | 44. "The Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R. Tolkien | In this episode, we discuss The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien, the beloved first volume of The Lord of the Rings. As we follow Frodo and his companions on the first stage of their journey, we explore Tolkien's rich vision of a world where evil leaves its mark on everything it touches, yet goodness, beauty, and hope endure.Along the way, we reflect on the surprising courage and humility of the hobbits, the power of friendship in the face of darkness, and Tolkien's gift for storytelling. We consider why this story continues to resonate with readers and what it reveals about courage, sacrifice, fellowship, and perseverance in a fallen world.Resources:The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R TolkienJ.R.R.

| 9/17/24 | 38. "Digital Liturgies" with Guest Samuel James | Join us as we discuss technology and how the internet shapes our human desires with Samuel James, the author of “Digital Liturgies.” James encourages us to use Biblical wisdom as we navigate technology in our online age. He writes, “Rather than being a neutral tool, the internet is an epistemological environment– a spiritual and intellectual habitat–that creates in its members particular ways of thinking, feeling, and believing.” Technology is powerful. Therefore, we must evaluate how to use it wisely. We also cover topics like how the internet has changed the publishing industry and the importance of the physical gathering, congregational singing, and friendship in our disembodied age.

| 8/27/24 | 37. "The Emotional Life of Our Lord" by B.B. Warfield | Most would agree that Christ had emotions, but they have not given a great deal of thought to the significance of Christ’s emotional life. By neglecting to reflect on the Lord’s emotional life, we fail to think deeply about what it means that the Son of God became a true human being for our sakes. Our understanding of the significance of the incarnation itself is at stake. Join us as we discuss B.B. Warfield’s excellent book, The Emotional Life of Our Lord. We talk about some common errors we make when thinking about Christ’s emotions, what we can learn from the emotional life of Christ, and what this means for our own emotions.

We also discuss whether Spurgeon should be considered a “celebrity pastor” and why he was appealing to so many. We cover a few of the many things we can learn from Spurgeon and ways we should seek to emulate him. Alex shares with us how Spurgeon has personally affected him as a Christian and as a pastor.

| 6/18/24 | 32. “Authority” with Guest Jonathan Leeman | In our culture authority is looked upon with skepticism at best and loathing at worst. Is the answer to all the misuse of authority we see a signal that we should completely do away with it? Or is authority in some way part of the very fabric of reality? How should Christians think about authority? In this episode we interview Jonathan Leeman on his book Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flourishing. We discuss abuse of authority, the cultural temperature on authority, and the necessity of authority in our lives.

| 5/14/24 | 30. "Philosophy in Seven Sentences" with Guest Dr. Doug Groothuis | Why should we care about philosophy? Is philosophy only for academics?

| 4/23/24 | 29. Living in the Post-Christian West and "Remaking the World" by Andrew Wilson | We need to understand history to navigate our current cultural moment. According to Andrew Wilson, we especially need to understand the year 1776: all that led up to it and how it created the narrative of the West. In this episode we discuss the Enlightenment, romanticism, industrialization, and how the ideas they birthed shape the church and the world around us. Notes: Lydia mentions the composition of silence, it is titled 4'33'' by John Cage. Jenna mentions C.S. Lewis' introduction to On The Incarnation: “We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century - the blindness about which posterity will ask, "But how could they have thought that?" - lies where we have never suspected it... None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already. Where they are false they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill. The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.” Resources mentioned: Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West by Andrew Wilson The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self:Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 20: Expressive Individualism and "Strange New World" by Carl Trueman All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 1: On Reading and "Lit" by Tony Reinke The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress and Equality by Glenn Scrivener All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 7: "Frankenstein: A Guide to Reading and Reflecting" by Mary Shelley and Karen Swallow Prior Frankenstein by Mary Shelley You are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World by Alan O Noble The Letters of John Newton The Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins 1984 by George Orwell Brave New World by Aldous Huxley The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien The Four Quartets by T.S.

| 11/1/22 | 26. Union with Christ and "You Are Not Your Own" with Guest Dr. Alan Noble | How do we grapple with a world that seems, as T.S. Eliot puts it “advances progressively backward.” In his book You Are Not Your Own, Dr. Alan Noble argues that the increasing cultural emphasis on efficiency, and increasing isolation have created an inhuman world. In this episode we talk with Dr. Noble about how our unity with Christ gives us meaning, purpose, and hope as we live in this world. We discuss despair, self-medication and escapism, and the antidotes of gratitude toward God, examining ourselves, death to self, and resting in belonging to Christ, our only hope in life and death.

| 9/20/22 | 23. How Should Christians Think About the Arts and Humor? with Guest James Cary | Art and humor can be difficult to define, but we all know it when we see it. But how should Christians think about the arts and humor? Are there boundaries and rules to what Christians produce and consume? In this episode we’re joined by BBC comedy writer, author, and podcaster, James Cary. We discuss the importance of enjoying the arts, how comedy is about truth-telling yet still seems to be at odds with religion. Cary discusses his view that Art is important, life is poetry, the Bible is funny (and that Jesus is too). He answers questions on the risks of reading the Bible without a sense of humor, and the essentially human component of humor.

| 8/30/22 | 22. "God and the Transgender Debate" with Guest Dr. Andrew Walker | At the heart of the transgender debate is the issue of human dignity. Therefore, it is crucial that Christians should care about current public policy and firmly defend biblical principles that promote truth telling and human flourishing. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Andrew Walker. Together we discuss the overturn of Roe, how to think about current social and political issues from a biblical perspective, and what the average Christian should think of as their duty in the face of ethical issues such as abortion and transgenderism. Dr. Walker gives practical, compassionate advice on how we should think about gender, the call we have all been given for truth-telling, and what the landscape of religious liberty looks like now (and may look like in the future) as we engage with these pressing issues.
