    Preaching the Resurrection - Theology Circle

    This episode of the Jesus Collective Podcast brings together a diverse panel of pastors and theologians from around the world for a rich, thought-provoking conversation on the significance of the resurrection of Jesus. As part of a Lenten series exploring the cross and atonement, the discussion turns to an often-overlooked question: what is at stake if we forget the resurrection? Through a dynamic, multi-voice dialogue, the panel unpacks how the resurrection is not just an add-on to the story of Good Friday, but essential to understanding the victory over death, the validation of Jesus’ teachings, and the hope of new life—both now and in the future. They explore themes like the defeat of death, the restoration of creation, the embodied (not just spiritual) nature of faith, and the invitation to live a life shaped by both death and resurrection. The conversation also challenges common tendencies in modern Christianity to reduce faith to a transaction or to over-spiritualize it, instead highlighting the resurrection as a transformative, world-renewing reality. With pastoral insight and theological depth, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the fullness of the Christian story—and to see how resurrection changes everything.

    Rethinking Atonement with Dr. David Moffitt

    In today’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. David Moffitt, a New Testament scholar at the University of St. Andrews who has previously taught at Duke Divinity School and Campbell University Divinity School. Prof. Moffitt’s research explores how the earliest Christians understood Jesus and their own identity in relation to Jewish scripture, practices, and beliefs—especially in the Epistle to the Hebrews. He investigates how the narrative of Jesus’s life, death, resurrection, and ascension intersects with the high-priestly and sacrificial traditions of Yom Kippur to maintain fellowship between God and God’s people. His books, including Atonement and the Logic of Resurrection in the Epistle to the Hebrews and Rethinking the Atonement, challenge us to see Jesus’s work as ongoing—not confined to the cross alone. From resurrection to ascension and priestly intercession, Dr. Moffitt invites us to rethink atonement and embrace a faith that is relational, dynamic, and deeply transformative. Get ready to hear insights like: “Blood is life, not just death,” “Atonement is more than a single event,” and “Faith is relational and ongoing.” Whether you’re a student of theology or simply curious about the Gospel, this episode will deepen your understanding and invite you into a closer walk with Christ. Let’s dive in.

    Preaching the Cross with Reverend Dr. Amy Peeler

    In this episode, Reverend Dr. Amy Peeler explores the powerful intersection of preaching, theology, and the lived experience of faith. Drawing from her work in both academia and ministry, she reflects on the unique differences between lecturing in the classroom and preaching from the pulpit, emphasising the importance of vulnerability and personal connection when communicating the gospel. The conversation dives deeply into the theological richness of the book of Hebrews, highlighting how it expands our understanding of atonement beyond simple substitutionary models and places the cross within the broader story of Christ’s resurrection and ascension. Dr. Peeler also discusses the often-overlooked role of women in the resurrection narrative and what their witness reveals about the life and leadership of the early church. Along the way, the discussion explores the importance of art in worship, the ways maternal imagery for God can deepen our theological imagination, and how the church can embody hope in the midst of suffering. With practical insights for pastors and ministry leaders, this episode invites listeners to consider how scholarship, storytelling, and faithful vulnerability can shape preaching that truly connects with people and points them toward the hope of new life.

    Exploring Atonement: A Jesus-Centered Approach with Jonny Morrison

    In this episode, the Jonny Morrison and Paul Walker dive into the rich and often misunderstood topic of atonement through a deeply Jesus-centered lens. Rather than reducing the gospel to punishment, debt, or a single theory of the cross, the conversation explores atonement as God’s work of making us one with God revealed through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Together, they unpack how diverse metaphors of atonement shape our faith, ethics, and life in community, and why understanding the problem the cross addresses matters just as much as the answers we offer. With humility and hope, they invite listeners to see the cross as a revelation of God’s healing, self-giving love and a call to solidarity with those who suffer. This episode offers a thoughtful, hopeful vision of church, community, and the gospel rooted in Jesus and open to renewal for today’s world.

    Keith Smith - The Magic of Montford Street

    In this deeply moving and thoughtful conversation, Keith Smith shares the heart behind his memoir The Magic of Montford Street, inviting us into a world shaped by family, faith, community, and resilience. What begins as a reflection on childhood memories unfolds into a powerful exploration of identity, legacy, and the stories that shape who we become. Keith speaks candidly about growing up Black in America, navigating both the warmth of a tight-knit neighborhood and the realities of trauma and systemic challenges. He reflects on the importance of preserving family stories, not just as nostalgia, but as living history that anchors future generations. Through joy, hardship, laughter, and loss, Montford Street becomes more than a place. It becomes a symbol of belonging. Throughout the conversation, we explore the role of faith in shaping identity and perspective, and how community can provide strength when the world feels uncertain. Keith beautifully illustrates how storytelling bridges generations, offering healing where there has been pain and connection where there has been division. His journey reminds us that our stories are sacred, and that telling them can be an act of courage, restoration, and hope.
