What Does Jesus Mean by “Daily Bread”? (The Lord’s Prayer Pt. 3)
Sermon on the Mount E22 – The first half of the Lord’s Prayer features three requests on behalf of God and his Kingdom: he is our Father in the skies, whose name we recognize as holy and whose way of life we want to see on the land. The second half of the Lord’s prayer focuses on four personal requests, where we seek to align our needs with God’s wisdom. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the first request of “daily bread” and its connections to stories and wisdom in the Hebrew Bible.

What Does “Hallowed Be Thy Name” Mean? (The Lord’s Prayer Pt. 2)
Sermon on the Mount E21 – Prayer is at the center of the center of the Sermon on the Mount. And it’s in this section of teaching that Jesus gives us a simple prayer that we can participate in. It’s only 12 lines long, but it contains a universe of ideas that center us with God. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the first half of the prayer: “Our Father who is in the skies, may your name be recognized as holy. May your Kingdom come and your will be done as it is in the skies so also on the land.”

Why Say “Kingdom of the Skies” Instead of “Kingdom of Heaven”? – Sermon on the Mount Q+R 2
Sermon on the Mount Q+R 2 (E19) – How do we reconcile Jesus’ words about the Law with other New Testament teachings? How is God’s justice with gehenna different from karma?

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.

High quality nuanced discussions
It makes me think of topics that have not entered my mind 🤍
Great
Excellent sound quality. Engaging. Thought provoking. Not imposing. The accompanying videos are also great.
Update: 5/13/24
I still very much love this podcast. Has carried me through some rough times, and helped me foundationally change my relationship with the bible. I appreciate it so much more now.
That said, I am not a fan of their recent change. I’m glad for them that they get to switch stuff up, and get more creative with music, sound design, editing, structure, etc. but it gets a bit distracting. And it starts to stray too far from their formula which I’ve loved and appreciated for years. They have, historically, largely avoided giving much personal commentary on scripture, telling people what to believe about it, or turning into a soft inspirational show. It is starting to nudge down those paths. I certainly appreciate new and varied voices (something the show has lacked, outside of their interviews, which kind of fell off the last couple years). But some of these “detours” they’ve taken with guests on this run have been disconnected, superfluous, or distracting. There was something refreshing about digging into the depths of the written scripture, its structure, context, themes, without pushing a christian “brand” or trying to give me an emotional pat on the back.
I realize how this sounds. And maybe I’m a grumpy old man upset that they rearranged my favorite grocery store. I mean no disrespect, and I’m proud of you guys for stretching your boundaries. Just giving some feedback.
Great podcast
I really appreciate what you guys do! I have learned so much about the bible and i feel like i think more deeply now when i study the word. I loved the dragon series.
I wont lie, i really miss when it was just you two who talked and shared your thoughts and ideas. Im not a big fan of the additions of others in the podcast now. I wouldn't mind guest speakers but i dont love this back and forth between you guys and others. I hope you guys go back to how it used to be soon.
