    Public Theology with David Bailey

    David Bailey is the Founder and Chief Vision Officer of Arrabon.

    When two contradictory commands about remembering past events refused to be reconciled, Dr. Megan Roberts began exploring new theories to help her exegetical work.

And working on what God's comfort can say to traumatized people hit a deep and personal cord in her own life.   Read more about her work in Isaiah HERE You can find many of her sermons and teaching at Prairie College on their YouTube channel HERE Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.

    Remembering Isaiah 40-55

    Biblical texts can be hard to read for several reasons - the poetry or images are challenging, or the emotion is strong, or the text seems to contradict itself in strange ways. In this episode, Dr. Megan Roberts from Prairie College tells us what draws her to these challenging texts and how they have a personal impact on her own life.  Read more about her work in Isaiah HERE You can find many of her sermons and teaching at Prairie College on their YouTube channel HERE Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.

    Redeeming Eden

    Dr. Ingrid Faro joins us today to talk about the "highway" that runs through the literary structure of the salvation story.

    Our Father in the Heavens

    So many of us memorized the Lord's Prayer. Some congregations quote it together every week. It is so familiar that we don’t always stop to think about the theologically rich statements it is making. Today, helping us slow down to think about the prayer are  Brad Gray and Brad Nelson from Walking the Text. They recently released a film called "The Lord's Prayer" and wrote a book titled Bringing Heaven Here.  Explore the wealth of resources at Walking the Text Watch the movie trailer for The Lord's Prayer Purchase the book Bringing Heaven Here Instagram / Facebook: @thesacredthreadtv Instagram / Facebook: @angel Instagram / Facebook: @evolvestudios Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.

    Christmas in Jerusalem

    Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but that is not the only significant location in the Christmas story. Dr. Jack Beck joins us again to talk about how the geography matters in the way we understand how Luke introduces his readers to Jesus. The origin story continues all the way to Jerusalem where we meet Simeon and Anna. We talk about why the location of this encounter matters and the beauty of the words spoken matter to all of us.  Discover more about Dr. Beck, his books, and videos  HERE Watch the wealth of options on Dr. Beck's YouTube channel HERE Discover Dr. Beck's books HERE Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.
