Bumper Sticker Faith Louis Dooley & Sam Kee

Why did Jesus suddenly ascend into heaven 40 days after the resurrection? Why do some Christians and churches celebrate Ascension Day every year? Today we talked to Dr. David Bryan, who is a New Testament scholar at Trinity International University. His passion and interest include understanding what is going on with the ascension of Jesus. He shows us how Jesus's ascension helps us find our true place in this world--because Jesus is at His true place over the world. We discover the world is a much fuller and more wonderful place than most realize. Dr. Bryan's research interests include the Gospel of Luke and the parables of Jesus. He has been a church planter in Madrid, Spain; he currently serves as Associate Pastor at Lakeview Presbyterian Church in Vernon Hills, IL. If you’re interested in taking Bible or worldview courses online, here is a link for the Certificates at TEDS, where Dr. Bryan teaches.

Have you heard of the story of the five martyrs in Ecuador: Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint, and Roger Youderian? Today, we have Jim Fleming on the show, who is the nephew of Pete Fleming. Jim talks about what happened in Ecuador and God's surprising work since then. Jim grew up as a missionary kid in South Africa. He has been a missionary for many years in Peru and Columbia. Today, Jim is the coordinator of the international side of Emmaus Worldwide, which is in 110 countries. Among other things, we discuss spiritual gifts, differences between parts of the world, how to discern a calling to the mission field, and the impact of Emmaus courses.

On episode #75 we talk with Kristen Wetherell about her new book “Help for the Hungry Soul: 8 Encouragements to Grow Your Appetite for God’s Word.” Kristen first shares about her recent project with The Gospel Coalition called Front Row Seat. Then we dive into the ‘8 encouragements’ from her book. She especially addresses those who feel discouraged or guilty about reading the Bible, and she points out the role of the community in our personal intake of Scripture. This is a very meaningful episode and surely will spark your own desire for the Bible, church community, and greater vulnerability. You can learn more about Kristen at www.kristenwetherell.com.

Do you know what general revelation is? If you do, how robust is your understanding? Today’s guest is Dr. Louis Markos, who is an authority on C.S. Lewis, apologetics, and Ancient Greece and Rome. In addition to teaching at Houston Christian University, he is the author of 25 books, including “How Platonic Thought Shaped the Christian Faith” and “The Myth Made Fact.” Today we talk about "The Consolation of Philosophy" by Boethius. We dig into the meaning and importance of general revelation, how to deal with suffering, and all that drags us downward. Along the way, we talk about The Chosen, Lady Philosophy, and where happiness comes from. We conclude by discussing free will and God’s foreknowledge.

Today we speak with Rankin Wilbourne about the forgotten doctrine of the Bible, union with Christ. Rankin serves as the Discipleship Pastor at City Church in Evansville, Indiana. He wrote an award winning book titled “Union with Christ: The Way to Know and Enjoy God.” If your life feels shallow, meaningless, or fake, we encourage you to consider what Rankin has to say. If you feel powerless, hopeless, or afraid, then this episode is for you. And if you’d like to enjoy God more, you’ll find this episode very helpful. Why has the church neglected this doctrine? How can you benefit from it? Rankin, Louis, and Sam talk about the vital importance of union with Christ and how it’s the core of our relationship with God.
