Podcast de A Bigger Conversation

The Bible was written by Eastern authors inspired by God. We read it and understand it through the lens of a Western culture, missing the imagery, humor and underlying assumptions. What are the things we might be missing? What lies underneath, the things that are felt but not spoken? How can we restore some of the Hebrew/Jewish culture that we have stripped from the Biblical text in our Western world?

    Episode 9: It's All In The Dirt

    We always talk about this parable as a story about the sower when it is a story about the soil and the Kingdom of God.  Over the years we have had large vegetable gardens and can personally testify to the value of good dirt.  One time we planted jalapeño peppers in my father in-law's garden.  Everything grew well in his garden but these had NO heat to them at all.  Was it a bad set of plants or was it something in his dirt that affected them?  Scientifically I have no proof but the following year were able to plant them in our own garden and we had hot jalapeños!  Good soil can affect everything.

    Episode 3: Ezer Kenegdo - Help that Opposes

    In episode 3 we are digging into the 2nd chapter of Genesis and taking a look at the creation of woman. Some incorrectly view women as second to man but the text in Genesis 2 suggests otherwise. This is the first time God pronounces something isn't good, and so we have woman taken out of man to be an equal part, a help that opposes. Listen in as we dig deeper into this idea!

    Episode 2: The Greatest Beginning

    In this episode we want to dive in to the creation account with a fresh perspective. Humankind is created with the likeness of God in us and before we could even work or produce, God looks at all he created and says "it is very good". This is one of the most ignored stories of the Bible yet this is what is chosen as the beginning of the narrative about God and his invitation to join the story.

    Episode 1: Introduction: Thinking Differently

    In this episode, we want to tackle the way we think in our western world and compare it with the thoughts and ideas of the middles east. Can the differences in thought and viewpoints give a differnet perspective on the biblical text? Will it help us to understand the imagery, humor, language and even geography of a world that is different than ours?
