    Getting sidetracked in the world

    In this episode I talk about the idea of being sidetracked in the world. Christians are not meant to be the "ruling" faith system. Jesus would not talk about the world not being our home or that we would be divided against others from them, if it was the case. We explore this idea a little more in depth in the episode. References: Hosea 11:1-11, Psalm 49:1-12, Luke 13:13-21 If you want to learn more about Hosea, check out this link! https://bibleproject.com/guides/book-of-hosea/ Reach out!

    Translations: A diversity of understanding

    In this episode I talk about using different translations of the bible. The way to understand scriptures better, often is to get a different perspective. It is not a way to challenge you as much as to better explore the depth and breadth of scriptures meanings. Quote mentioned: "A diverse mix of voices leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone," - Sundar Pichai. Reach out! Ponderingtheologian@gmail.com

    Rereleased: An America idol

    This episode originally released in February of 2023. America has an idolatry issue. Many believe this, they point towards celebs and name brand cloths, amongst other things.

    Learning hope from the widows of the bible

    In this episode we reflect on the lesson of Hope that two widows show in the bible, (there are more, I just chose two). Hope is an important and powerful thing, necessary for life. We explore that in this episode. Scriptures: 1 Kings 17:8-16, Hebrews 9:24-28, Mark 12:38-44 Reach out! Ponderingtheologian@gmail.com

    Christian integrity?

    In this episode I share some thoughts that I had while writing a sermon series on Job. Mostly, i focus on integrity. I believe Christian integrity is important, and lacking in some areas of western Christianity. What do you think?

    Empathy?

    In the current time of recording, empathy is something that has become villified. It has become a "woke", "snowflake" thing in the way some refer to it. What is a more Christian understanding to what this thing is? I give my pastoral thoughts on that and share what I think about empathy from a Christian standpoint. -Nathaniel Reach out! email: ponderingtheologian@gmail.com
