All Things Bright and Beautiful

Our daily lives are inundated with ideas. The question we must ask ourselves is, how can we think critically about these ideas in order to identify what is bright with the light of truth, beautiful by a perfect standard, wise with the fear of the Lord, and wonderful in true virtue? Hosted by Jenna DiPrima and Lydia Schaible, All Things Bright and Beautiful is a discussion of life, books, and theology from a confessionally reformed Christian perspective. Our goal is to encourage listeners to read widely, think deeply, and engage in conversations that matter. New episodes every other Tuesday.

    38. "Digital Liturgies" with Guest Samuel James

    Join us as we discuss technology and how the internet shapes our human desires with Samuel James, the author of “Digital Liturgies.” James encourages us to use Biblical wisdom as we navigate technology in our online age. He writes, “Rather than being a neutral tool, the internet is an epistemological environment– a spiritual and intellectual habitat–that creates in its members particular ways of thinking, feeling, and believing.” Technology is powerful. Therefore, we must evaluate how to use it wisely. We also cover topics like how the internet has changed the publishing industry and the importance of the physical gathering, congregational singing, and friendship in our disembodied age.

    37. "The Emotional Life of Our Lord" by B.B. Warfield

    Most would agree that Christ had emotions, but they have not given a great deal of thought to the significance of Christ’s emotional life. By neglecting to reflect on the Lord’s emotional life, we fail to think deeply about what it means that the Son of God became a true human being for our sakes. Our understanding of the significance of the incarnation itself is at stake.  Join us as we discuss B.B. Warfield’s excellent book, The Emotional Life of Our Lord. We talk about some common errors we make when thinking about Christ’s emotions, what we can learn from the emotional life of Christ, and what this means for our own emotions.  Resources mentioned: The Emotional Life of Our Lord by B.B. Warfield Warfield on the Christian Life by Fred Zaspel Good and Angry by David Powlison Spiritual Depression by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

    32. “Authority” with Guest Jonathan Leeman

    In our culture authority is looked upon with skepticism at best and loathing at worst. Is the answer to all the misuse of authority we see a signal that we should completely do away with it? Or is authority in some way part of the very fabric of reality? How should Christians think about authority? In this episode we interview Jonathan Leeman on his book Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flourishing. We discuss abuse of authority, the cultural temperature on authority, and the necessity of authority in our lives. Jonathan Leeman makes his case for God’s good design for authority, elaborates on the tie between authority and submission, and explains how submitting to good authority leads to our flourishing.
