The Belfast Podcast Luke Byler

Taking some key concepts from Chapter 8 of "The Divine Conspiracy," Daniel and I talk about Willard's flip of Bonhoeffer's famous phrase, "cheap grace," into "costly faithlessness." We investigate how our faith affects our works and vice versa.

The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

As we continue into chapter 8, the discussion moves from becoming a disciple to making disciples. There are ways you can do this for individual people and for the church to participate in helping people conform to the image of Christ.

We have reached the meat of Dallas Willard's book, The Divine Conspiracy. In this episode, Daniel and I track the major steps and attitudes you can take to become a better student of Jesus.

As Daniel and I continue to talk about chapter 7, we focus in on what it means to be formed by praying for what is good for us, rather than what we may merely want.

As we step into chapter 7, Daniel and I discuss the disastrous consequences of condemnation that can hinder us from creating communities of prayerful love.

In this final episode on chapter 6, Daniel and I bring together thoughts from the last three episodes and attempt to provide a way for us to answer the question- "Do you value the things of heaven?"
