Jesus’ Surprising Warning About Religious Practices
Sermon on the Mount E18 – In Matthew 6, Jesus turns his attention to religious practices of his day, specifically generosity to the poor, prayer, and fasting. But Jesus gives a surprising warning about these practices: if you do religious practices to get praise from people, then you're missing the point. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss these three religious practices and reflect on the pitfalls of making religious devotion about yourself.

Why Does Jesus Want Us to Love Our Enemies?
Sermon on the Mount E16 – In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus shares his sixth and final case study based on the wisdom of the Torah, and it may be the most challenging one yet. The first three case studies focused on treating others as sacred image-bearers of God. The fourth and fifth case studies offered guidance on how to handle conflict. And in the final case study, Jesus concludes with wisdom on how to respond to people who not only dislike us but even desire our harm. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss one of Jesus’ most famous teachings: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

What Jesus Means by “Turn the Other Cheek”
Sermon on the Mount E15 – In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus offers wisdom from the Torah about retaliation, justice, and nonviolent resistance to injustice. He references a series of laws in Exodus 21, Leviticus 24, and Deuteronomy 19, all of which contain the familiar language of “eye for eye, tooth for tooth.” Jesus reveals the surprising wisdom within these laws, using real-life scenarios that would have been familiar to oppressed Israelites living under Roman occupation: turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and going the extra mile. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and Michelle discuss how these actions can open up our imaginations for boldly standing against injustice in creative, nonviolent ways.

Why Does Jesus Say Not to Swear Oaths?
Sermon on the Mount E14 – In Matthew 5:33-48, Jesus offers three case studies about how people can work together in spite of conflict. The first case study focuses on the ancient practice of oath keeping. By the time of Jesus, ancient Israelites no longer spoke the divine name of Yahweh out of respect, but they would still swear oaths by things closely related to God—like the sky, land, temple, etc. Some people used these oaths as a loophole because they felt less serious to break (“I only swore by the temple!”). In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss Jesus’ teaching on oaths, which demonstrates God’s wisdom on the integrity of our words and the danger of even small deceptions.

How Jesus Responded to the Divorce Debate
Sermon on the Mount E13 – In Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus offers a quote from the Torah about when it is lawful to divorce, and then he shares his perspective. But what is the context of these words, and how would Jesus’ original audience have heard them? It’s easy for modern readers to miss, but Jesus is entering a longstanding debate concerning a passage about divorce in Deuteronomy 24—and his take is surprising. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and special guest Jeannine Brown discuss the story surrounding divorce in ancient Israel, the Bible’s ideal of covenant loyalty, and the wisdom we can find in Scripture to navigate divorce in our culture today.

Brilliant!
These podcasts are amazing. So good that I’ve now started from the oldest episode and am listening to them all, right the way through.
The Family of God series
I always enjoy listening to the podcast. They are informative and encourages deep reflection on the Bible, its story and all of its themes. I especially enjoyed the 1st podcast in the Family of God series. It is wonderful to hear about Christianity being as global as it is, and it makes me happy that I have something so dear to me in common with many people around the world. I hope and pray that God's kingdom on earth continues to grow, and that all the earth shall sing praises to our Lord and Savior!!
Invitation to deeper investigation
Their videos are excellent.
So I started listening to the podcasts.
They are enjoyable to listen and informative.
Started listening from the first episode only just recently.
But as Tim Mackie presents his view of Genesis chapter 1 and 2 (episodes 10, 11 and 12), things started to unravel for me.
Either we let God’s word speak to us in its plain reading or man (meaning other biblical scholars) decides what God meant (or did not say).
It is a matter of authority: and after listening to these episodes, I came out thinking he has obviously studied and researched much but has decided that what God had called ‘good’ or ‘very good’ at the end of each creation day was not good enough.
I want to be able to trust God’s word and I have to give this podcast a thumbs down.
