    If God is in Control, Why Pray?

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we are talking a little bit about prayer and the sovereignty of God. Does God cause bad things to happen directly and is he trying to get messages to us about our behavior or get through to us to change course? And then how do we know when he's speaking to us anyway? What does God's voice sound like? Is it, is it him or is it something else? What's up with all of this interaction with God and is, how in control is he along the way? These are the questions we address in this episode. Let's dive right in.Send in your questions at redcouchtheology.com.

    Grace at the Table: Judas, Peter, and Salvation

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we talk about John chapter 13 and in there we talk about what's going on with Judas and Peter and these betrayers and deniers. We talk a little bit about, at the end of this episode, we talked about like this demon possession thing that, is in the passage and then we talk about like how do you, how do you get saved according to John from this text like is foot washing related to that? Is that why don't we do foot washing today as much as maybe this text would imply we should and all of those types of questions. Let's dive right in. Send in your questions at redcouchtheology.com.

    Why did Jesus have to die? Couldn’t God just forgive us?

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we're doing some serious theology. We're talking about atonement, or maybe put more for some of you out there, if you're not sure what atonement is, it's how in the world does the cross and resurrection save us? Like, really, what happens there? How does this event that took place thousands of years ago affect us today? What took place in the universe when that took place? Well, we wrestle with these kinds of questions today, and we hope we land on some of them. At least some nuggets and crumbs for you to ponder as you wrestle with them yourselves. Let's dive into the deep end with atonement.

    Wrestling With Resurrection, Scripture, and Free Will

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we have several questions submitted through our Alpha course, and one that actually touches on last week's Sunday sermon a little bit. We're gonna talk about Lazarus and what was going on with his soul or his spirit while he was dead, and was his resurrection the same kind of resurrection as Jesus? We also discussed textual criticism and how we can trust the scriptural account of Jesus. And then, finally, we closed with a detailed conversation about free will, predestination, Calvinism, Armenianism, and all that sort of stuff. So if any of that sparks your curiosity, let's dive in.

    The Courage the Gospel Creates - bonus episode!

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week, we actually have 2 episodes. This is our bonus episode because I get to sit down with Sean Switzer and Diego, who brought our sermon last Sunday. And talk a little bit about his journey of faith, about the sermon he gave to us on Sunday, and so on and so forth, but one of the highlights in this episode is when Diego shares a little bit of the backstory about his father and his relationship with his father, if you remember from his sermon illustration on Sunda,y and it's a powerful story about how the gospel both gives us the bravery to do things we would not expect and has the power to transform relationships and lives. Let's dive right in.

    Is there more to life than this? And other Alpha questions

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week, we ask several questions. If you remember, we're tracking with the alpha class during this season of our show. And this week, we asked some questions about faith in life. The first one came from one of Alex's sermons: What is the good life as defined by Christianity? Is there any benefit to Christianity other than this promise of some future eternity? Or is there something more? Is there some benefits inside of this current life? And then we ask questions about, is there evidence for the historical Jesus? Is there evidence for the resurrection and things like that. Let's dive right in.

    Wrestling With the Text: A Guide Through John 9

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we're doing something a little bit different. This week, we're gonna go through John chapter 9, the passage Alex preached last Sunday. And I'm gonna talk to him about how in the world he studied this text. How does he approach a new passage? How did he work through the difficult parts of this passage and come to the conclusions that he came to? And maybe you can learn a little bit about how to study the scriptures for yourself and engage with difficult things in the passage. So, we end on this beautiful note that you'll have to find out about in this episode. Let's dive right in.
