    Is Luke Wrong About the Events of Jesus’ Birth?

    For full show notes & information about the hosts www.leahchapman.org/podcasts/s8e14 Scholars and skeptics have pointed out several “problems” in Luke's account of Jesus' birth. This week we will dive into these problems. Indeed, there are a few historical points that even make Christian scholars think and have to dig into the history more. However, these "problems" in Luke do not give us cause for concern once studied. Instead, they're an opportunity to learn and do more research into the time of Jesus’ birth. When we do so, we see there is no reason to seriously doubt Luke's account. Issues discussed from Luke 2:1-5: The timing of the census The timing of Quirinius' governorship The need for pregnant Mary to return to Bethlehem for the census at all Support: Patreon: www.patreon.com/leahdchapman - Starting at $3/month!

    Theological Reflection on Hocus Pocus 2

    For full show notes & information about the hosts www.leahchapman.org/podcasts/s8e12 This week Leah and Andrew discuss the movie Hocus Pocus 2. We share what we liked and disliked about the movie. Then we look at how the puritans are popularly conveyed versus what the scripture exemplifies in the lives of the apostles. We learn how to discern if a movie like this is appropriate for you and your family to watch. In the end, we’ll see that God is bigger than witchcraft, and that our job as Christians is to focus on what God is doing. Support: Patreon: www.patreon.com/leahdchapman - Starting at $3/month!

    Would Yahweh be on the Council of gods from Thor: Love and Thunder?

    Genesis 1: How To Understand It

    For full show notes & information about the hosts www.leahchapman.org/podcasts/s8e09 Scientists and theologians alike have ideas about what the Genesis 1 creation story is supposed to teach, how to interacts with the knowledge of modern science, and its relevance or irrelevance to us today. In John Walton's book The Lost World of Adam and Eve we get a clearer picture of what the Genesis 1 Creation story was supposed to communicate to the early readers and what it means for us today. We discuss this book and see what Ancient Near Eastern context can teach us about this creation story. Support: Patreon: www.patreon.com/leahdchapman - Starting at $1/month!
