The Life of the Age and the Second Death
What is gehenna? Is it the same as hell? What is the Age to Come? Is it only something for the far-off future, or is it something for here and now as well What is the second death? Is that the Lake of Fire? What does it mean for a human being to experience the second death? Will all be saved, or only some? Is this something we should be afraid of, and to whom are these warnings directed? Can we really trust that Adonai is merciful and gracious, when all this threat of punishment is hanging over us?
Today, we explore one of the thorniest, most shadowy, and least certain topics we've encountered so far. It is also the source of much of the pain, hurt, and loss of trust that has caused deconstruction. In this episode, I try to take a slow walk (almost double-length!) through the biblical language surrounding final judgment and the Age to Come. My hope is that you are able to hear within these stumbling words a picture of a Father who desires that none should perish, and that all should be brought to repentance.

Attached to the Father -- THE HOW OF HURT
Переглядів 125Місяць тому
In this episode, I tell my story of how I grew up without a clear sense that God liked me. I discuss my encounter with God up in the mountains, using contemplative prayer as a vehicle for that experience, and what that taught me about the heart of my Heavenly Father toward me. I dig a little bit into attachment science, discussing how it works in our relationship with both people and with God, ...

Genesis 1-3 Question and Response -- LIVE EPISODE
Переглядів 31Місяць тому
This is the edited audio from our very first live Q&R episode taking questions from the live audience as well as the Facebook discussion group. In this episode, we dive very deep into a challenge from one of the listeners who sees "hierarchical headship" in Genesis 1-2 before the Gen 3 fall. We also look closely at the incarnational nature of the Scriptures as a joint divine-human revelation an...
The First and Final Enemy -- NERD ALERT!
Переглядів 432 місяці тому
What does it mean to be slaves of sin and/or death? Who is paying "wages of death"? What, or who, exactly is the serpent-stomper promised to be? Do we possess a "sinful human nature" now, and what does that mean? What does it mean to have our natures "justified"? And who gets this gift? What does it mean to be "saved"? Who gets that reward, and how? We've been looking at the Genesis 3 fall narr...
O Death; Where is Your Sting?

What happens after the humans eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowing? Who is to blame for eating the fruit? Are they cursed by God? Is he nothing more than a wrathful deity, punishing them for a tiny infraction? What does it mean to have "garments of skin", or to be mortal? And why block the way back to the Tree of Life? In this episode, we unpack the Genesis 3 fall narrative and its consequences...
A Serpent and Two Trees
Переглядів 552 місяці тому
Humanity is firmly planted in the Garden, but why is there a serpent there? Is this a divine setup? Who or what is this serpent figure, anyway? Why would God put a tree there that they couldn't eat from? And what is the deal with the Tree of Life? Is humanity created to be mortal, immortal, or something else? Today, I take a closer look at all these questions out of the first portion of Genesis...
Dr. Carmen Imes -- EXPERT-TEAS
Переглядів 312 місяці тому
Today, I sit down for tea with biblical scholar Dr. Carmen Imes to discuss the image of God, male and female, the importance of our bodies and embodiedness to our identity and resurrection, diverse embodiment and disability, the ways in which trauma is felt (and healed) in our bodies, and how to approach the Old Testament in a trauma-informed way. See Dr. Imes' bio HERE (www.biola.edu/directory...
Male and Female He Created Them

How has the Church treated LGBTQ folks? What should our responsibilities and duties be to the vulnerable and the hurting? What does it look like to love others, even when we disagree with them? How can we "become the gospel" to a world that sorely needs to hear good news? In this bonus mini-episode, I speak only to my Christian brothers and sisters. I take a look at how "male and female he crea...
The Image of God
Переглядів 302 місяці тому
How should we think about the fact that there are two creation accounts? What does it mean to be the image of God? Are humans to be servants of Adonai, or something else? Are men and women images in the same way? And what do we do with the fact that women are created second, and "from man"? Does the Bible teach that bodies are bad, and naked bodies are particularly bad? In this episode, we take...
The Goodness of Creation
Переглядів 463 місяці тому
What does it mean to say that God created everything? What about all those other creation myths that look a lot like Genesis 1? What do each of the "days" of creation mean? What does it mean to be human, and what does it mean to "rule and subdue" creation? Besides, why does it all matter isn't this world just doomed to destruction, and isn't everything about this world "bad"? How in the world c...

Well done, Spencer!
Good stuff brother, I've been trying to learn more about attachment theory and some of your stories here were helpful. I found your "not a bad seed but disordered soil" metaphor to be effective, it was really simple yet profoundly different than how we often talk about self and others. Thank you for your public podcast ministry and sharing as you journey in your own learning.
How to know when God's calling you to Contemplative Prayer: "I can’t meditate, I don’t want to meditate, and all I want to do is sit quietly in God’s presence." -quote from Fr. Mark Foley
Thanks for the shout out gents! Love yall!!
Did I say that? Hahahaha
This is great…thank you!
@@pmdpiano glad you enjoyed it!
11:05 - That was brutally accurate to how I heard and envisioned this growing up! Minus the Calvinism, but later in life, I began to be introduced to it and this is essentially what the Calvinist famous teachers are saying.
Even without the Calvinism, there are many pieces of it that are familiar to me growing up. And I don't disagree with all of it in every respect (although there is little of it I would agree with as-is). I just think that the presentation I shared is how many people -- in some ways, myself included -- received it, and that THAT matters too.
Nice! So it occurred to me: when a kid is told they are not to eat from the cookie jar, and they're only ready to have one after dinner but they sneak into the kitchen and grab one before dinner, that's a very similar scenario to the 2 trees in the garden.
Yes! And: it also causes similar organic consequences. I can no longer trust that child, so I have to say "you can only enter the kitchen when I am with you." (exile and redemption, anyone?) Perhaps they are diabetic, and they could lapse into an emergency situation that requires extreme measures to save them (mortality and salvation, anyone?) Or they might now need an ongoing infusion of needed medicine, because their bodily homeostasis is out of balance (sacrifice and Eucharist, anyone?) Oh, sorry: spoilers for next week. :)
Love it! We are the Idol of Yahweh
Great Work! The context of ancient near Eastern literature cannot be overstated when approaching the Bible. I believe we’ve gotten closer to the intended truth of Scripture than some of the church fathers because of this focus in scholarship and the revelations from the Dead Sea scrolls.
Yes and Amen!!!
Thank you Troy!
