Theocology John

Katrina, Erik and Pastor John discuss different Bible passages that get misused or misapplied and how to learn to place passages into context and do a better job of interpreting them.

Katrina and Pastor John talk about the common misconception that students lose their faith and morals in college, but often the opposite happens. In fact, the data shows those with higher levels of education have a higher tendency to be religious and have faith. Katrina shares how she has grown in her faith at FGCU and she gives advice on how other students can as well.

Katrina and PJ discuss one of the most often misquoted Bible passages, Matthew 7:1, where Jesus says "Judge not, lest you be judged." Many take it as a call to never make a judgment. From its context, though, we see it's more about hypocrisy and making good judgments after first doing some deep self-reflection.

AJ, Jaden, Aiden, Erin, Richard and Pastor John discuss how they have grown over the past academic year, inside and outside of the classroom and also discuss summer plans.

Dominic joins AJ, PJ, Aiden and Jaden to discuss what it means to "love not the world" and how one can so easily get caught up with the trends and ways of the world. They look at some quotes from Eugene Peterson's book The Jesus Way as well as discuss the normalizing of so many vices in society.

In this episode Richard Butt joins AJ, PJ, Jaden, Aiden and Erin in discussing what Jesus teaches us (warns us) about money and possessions. Listen in on this discussion of greed and generosity.
