7.19 - Creation Care: A Whole New World
Christ is the source of creation and the one who maintains it in its present form. He is currently at work in this world, ensuring it doesn’t fall apart. Anything we do to push against creation and pull it apart is working against Christ. However, Christ is reconciling all things, and the children of God—the church and the kingdom community—are as close to the new creation as the current creation can get. Tune in to today’s episode where the guys unpack New Testament passages that speak about our relationship to creation care.

7.18 - Creation Care: Play in it!
Today the guys wrap up the Old Testament view of creation care. We are stewards and tenants of the land, but there is one who owns it all. Who set the world on its foundation? Who set the stars in the cosmos? Say among the nations, the Lord is king! Let us play in and with God’s good creation!

7.17 - Creation Care: Cascading Effects
How much attention does God pay to how we treat the land?
In today’s episode, the guys discuss the interconnectedness of our life choices as God’s image-bearers and stewards of creation, and our treatment of the land. What we do matters. God’s restoration is not only for us but for all creation. Find out what the prophets say about it in today’s episode of the After Class Podcast. -
7.16 - Creation Care: The Trees of The Field Will Clap Their Hands
Today, the guys continue through the Old Testament and venture into apocalyptic imagery, trees that clap their hands, and… God’s destruction of the earth? Is God culpable for the attacks brought on by nations? All this and more in today's episode of the After Class Podcast.
-
7.14 - Creation Care: Creation and the Law
The guys delve into Leviticus and Deuteronomy to explore how God’s laws, when followed, benefit all creation. What does it look like when we acknowledge that all things belong to God, and we are merely stewards of His property? What constitutes a Christian theology of land stewardship in today's context? Tune in this week to find out!

7.13 - Creation Care: Dominion
God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." But, what does it mean to 'subdue' the earth? Join the guys this week as they continue to expand on how we can think about caring for God's creation.

Women in the Bible
Thank you so much for doing this podcast! It has been such a blessing in my life! I have deeply struggled with my role as a woman, my value to God, and especially 1 Timothy 2:11-14. I felt deeply disheartened and burdened by the view many people in the Church hold that women are only meant for having children and that we can’t teach men. As a lawyer, I have worked very hard to get to where I am in life and to be told that I should give that up and stay at home is crushing to me. I have done deep research into 1 Timothy 2, and I am confident that it is not a blanket prohibition on women teaching. My frustration is that many major pastors do not want to dig deep into this verse and that they only want to view the surface meaning. If we only take it at face-value, it means women must not just be saved by faith, but also by having children. What a tremendous weight that is! If that’s true, then I am not currently saved. Do pastors not realize what the implications are of their interpretation? Why do so many not take it seriously what they are saying to half the population? I’ve struggled so much that I have felt burdened by legalism and not loved by God. I read a book called “I Suffer Not a Woman” by Catherine and Richard Kroeger, and then I eventually found this podcast. Thank you so much for what you do! You have greatly contributed to my sense of freedom in the Lord! God bless all of you!
