    The Lion, The Author, and The Adaptation (Ep 190)

    What happens when a character an author built to represent Christ gets reshaped into something the author never intended? In this episode, I walk through why C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia the way he did, how he slipped past the "watchful dragons" of childhood religious instruction, and the deliberate gospel imagery woven through all seven books. We take a close look at Aslan as Lewis originally wrote him, and we explore Scriptures like Revelation 5:5 and John 10:17-18 along the way. I also share my own convictions about Netflix's upcoming adaptation, and how we can contend for the faith with gentleness and respect, as 1 Peter 3:15 urges. Join me as we defend the beauty of Lewis's original vision.

    Read It Again: The Verse That Became an Excuse (Ep 189)

    In this fifth episode of Read It Again, I take on one of the most quoted lines in the Bible: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." It gets used to shut down conversations before they start, but Jesus didn't stop at verse one. In Matthew 7:1-5, he goes on to talk about specks, planks, and hypocrisy, and what he says completely reshapes how we should hear that opening line. I walk through what the Greek word for judge actually means, why Paul expects the church to evaluate behavior in 1 Corinthians 5:12, and what real accountability looks like when it comes from humility instead of superiority. If you've ever had this verse used against you, or used it yourself, tune in and let's set the record straight together. Interesting Links: Crosswalk. (n.d.).

    The Kingdom Perspective with Cameron Garner (Ep 188)

    In this episode, I sit down with Cameron Garner, a traveling minister and revivalist who has spent more than 13 years equipping ordinary believers to walk in the full reality of who they are in Christ. Cameron unpacks what it actually means to be kingdom-minded, why most believers never move from knowing their identity in Christ to actually living from it, and why Romans 12:2 is the practical bridge between the two. We also dig into prayer and why Scripture models speaking and declaring rather than begging and pleading. Cameron also shares how his family moved to Puerto Rico by faith and how his R.I.O.T. School is giving students an immersive, hands-on experience in kingdom living. If you have ever sensed there is more available to you in your faith than you are currently experiencing, this conversation is for you.

    Created to Create With Rick Sorenson (Ep 187)

    Have you ever convinced yourself that you are just not a creative person? In this episode, I sit down with Rick Sorenson, author of Art: The Church's Response, to talk about one of the most underappreciated truths in the Christian life: creativity is not a gift reserved for the talented few. It is part of bearing the image of God. Rick walks us through Genesis 1:1 and what the Hebrew word for "create" actually reveals, explains why most people abandon their creativity around age 10, and shares how the enemy uses that wound to separate us from something God wired into us. His story, from pastor's kid in Idaho to running an international paper business in Bhutan to writing a book 20 years in the making, is one you will not forget. Tune in.

    Read It Again: The Church That Left Jesus Outside (Ep 186)

    In episode 4 of Read It Again, I look at Revelation 3:20, the verse behind that famous painting of Jesus knocking at a garden door. For over a century that image has shaped how we read this verse, Jesus patiently waiting outside a heart that has never let him in. But the actual text was written to a church, the wealthiest and most self sufficient of the seven churches in Revelation, and the only one Jesus had nothing good to say about. This is the fourth episode of the Read It Again series, and it marks a turn from God's promises in hard seasons to what Jesus sees when he looks at a comfortable, well managed church. The invitation in this verse is not to start a relationship with Christ. It is to come back to one that has quietly drifted. If you have ever wondered whether the busyness of church life can crowd out the actual presence of Jesus, this episode is for you. Interesting Links: GotQuestions.org. (n.d.).

    The sufficiency of Scripture with Jacoby Jordan (Ep 185)

    What does it mean to build your life on God's Word? In this episode, I sit down with pastor and author Jacoby Jordan, a former atheist and touring punk musician who came to faith on a pastor's driveway in LA in 2011, to explore the sufficiency of Scripture. Jacoby shares how the Bible's authenticity, its manuscript evidence, and the clarity of the gospel finally broke through his skepticism, and how that same Word has shaped his ministry and writing ever since. We talk about what it means to really trust the Bible, how to introduce it to new believers, and why reading Scripture in its full context matters more than ever. Jacoby's books, including The Sufficiency of Scripture, are available on Amazon.

    Read It Again: What Good Actually Means (Ep 184)

    In episode 3 of Read It Again, I look at Romans 8:28, the verse we reach for at hospital bedsides and gravesides. God works all things for good, we say, and we usually fill in what good means with our own hopes for how the circumstance resolves. But Paul defines the word himself, one verse later, and it is not the definition most of us are carrying. I walk through the three groanings of Romans 8, creation, believers, and the Spirit itself, before we ever get to verse 28, because that context is what makes the promise honest rather than a shortcut past real grief. What we find is a promise that does not depend on the circumstance turning out the way we hoped. It holds in the hospital room no matter what the diagnosis says next. Interesting Links: Wright, N. T.

    Read It Again: Strength for What, Exactly? (Ep 183)

    In episode 2 of Read It Again, I take on Philippians 4:13, the verse on the sneaker, the eye black, the tattoo. It shows up everywhere strength is being claimed for a win, but Paul wrote it chained to a guard in a Roman prison, not knowing if he would live or die. I trace the verses right before it, where Paul says he learned contentment through hunger and plenty alike, and I dig into the word he uses for strength, a word that describes an ongoing supply, not a one time power up. What we find is not a smaller promise but a sturdier one. It is not a guarantee that Christ will help you win. It is a testimony that Christ will sustain you no matter how the outcome goes. If you are carrying a hard season right now, this episode is for you. Interesting Links: Wright, N. T. (2004). Paul for everyone: The prison letters.
