Today's Faith Matters Josh Benner

Should the government be able to say how many people can attend a religious gathering at someone’s home? The Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling last week.   Popular women’s Bible teacher Beth Moore took aim at the doctrine of complimentarianism.   I review the book “Jesus and John Wayne.”

Daniel Gilman spent a year and a half working for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) in Canada. As more and more allegations against Ravi came to light, Gilman became more outspoken about the need to respond to the scandal and for the ministry to take care of Ravi's victims. In this episode, we walk through Daniel's time with RZIM, a path the ministry could have taken forward.

What is the unifying theme of the New Testament? In his award winning book "The Messianic Theology of New Testament," Dr. Joshua Jipp argues “The central argument of this book is that the messianic identity of Jesus of Nazareth is not only the presupposition for, but is also the primary (though certainly not exclusive) content of, New Testament theology.”

While it's a subject which is often overlooked in churches and the popular Christian culture, in this episode of Today's Faith Matters, we a rich and robust theology of understanding that Jesus is the Messiah is important to our understanding of the New Testament.

Dr. Jipp is a New Testament scholar and professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Past works of Dr. Jipp include "Christ is King: Paul's Royal Ideology" and "Saved by Faith and Hospitality."

Generation Z, those born from the late 90s through the early 2010s are the least religious generation in American history. Steve Rieske has worked on college campuses for over 20 years with Cru and now as a pastor. In this episode, we talk about Gen Z, their views of Christianity and the things in which they place their faith.

We also talk about the response that Christians can have. It’s not about arguments or isolated conversations. It’s about relationships and genuinely living out faith in a wonderful and glorious God that resonates with people.

Steve is pastor of Brookside Church in Bowling Green, Ohio.

In this episode of Today’s Faith Matters, I try to explain the Ravi Zacharias scandal: who Ravi was, what he did, and how Christians can respond.

It’s an ugly scandal that involves a beloved ministry leader. Sadly, too many Christians have ignored this story, even after a report was released which detailed Ravi’s sexual misconduct.

Ravi's ministry stated today belief in the account of Lori Anne Thompson. Lori's victim impact statement can be found at: https://loriannethompson.com/2021/02/08/lori-anne-thompson-victim-impact-statement/

Today's Faith Matters is a podcast hosted by Josh Benner.

A bombshell report was released today regarding the sexual misconduct of late evangelist Ravi Zacharias. The report confirms numerous inappropriate relationships that Zacharias had over several years.

In this episode, I talk with Steve Baughman who started sounding the alarm about Ravi’s sexual misconduct while the famed ministry leader was still alive. Steve has continued to follow developments in the Ravi story. He’s written a book about Ravi’s academic fraud and sexual misconduct called “Cover-up in the Kingdom."
