Mount Vigil

Mount Vigil is a Christian discipleship platform for the end of an age. We work to recover the whole story of Jesus, and to read the times we're in through to the story of Jesus. We explore everyday practices that help us experience more of Jesus. That way, we can take on more of his nature and find our role in his story. There is a way to thrive in a significant time. We invite you to join us and find out how.

    34 | Resurrection People: The Church and Israel Part 2

    What happened to the northern tribes after the Assyrian deportation? Were they ever gathered back from the nations? How does that relate to the diversity of church expressions today? Is that evidence of schism and disunity, or something else? In this episode Anthony and Blaine discuss Israel's narrative arc in the scriptures as well as an often-overlooked theme: over and over again, God uses the rending consequences of sin as a way to extend His grace to the ends of the earth. Mentioned in this episode: Jason A Staples: The Idea of Israel in Second Temple JudaismJason A Staples: Paul and the Resurrection of Israel

    32 | God Cuts a Deal: The Church and Israel Part 1

    Anthony and Blaine continue their conversation on the Church by examining the canonical relationship between God and His covenant partners. As Joseph Ratzinger put it, "The history of the relationship between Israel and Christendom is drenched with blood and tears." That's true but it need not be that way. The history of the relationship between Israel and Christendom is fundamentally a history of God's faithfulness, self-revelation, and ultimate redemption. Mentioned in this episode: Joseph Ratzinger Many Religions - One CovenantNT Wright Paul and the Faithfulness of GodNT Wright and Rabbi Mark Kinzer "A Dialogue on the Meaning of Israel"Moshe Weinfeld "The Covenant of Grant in the Old Testament and in the Ancient Near East"The Bible Project Ezra and Nehemiah

    31 | By Love For Love

    The Trinity is the fountainhead of reality and the mystery at the center of all things. And so it should go without saying (but it often doesn't) that the Church only makes sense when it's explored in terms of the triune God. In this episode, Blaine and Anthony start with the Trinity and survey salvation history to put the life of the Church in context. From the love of the Father to Covenant Theology, Dionysius the Areopagite's vision of creation to Russian Monastaries founded on perichoresis, this conversation lays the groundwork for a fruitful investigation of the Church.

    30 | How to Love the Church (aka What's Next for the MV Podcast)

    We're back. In this episode, Anthony and Blaine map out the territory ahead and offer their thoughts on constructive engagement with Church history. In brief: be ecumenical, read like it's your job (wasn't it Aquinas who said "Beware the man of one book?") don't treat anyone (ancient or modern) as stupid, and plan to live differently. Division in the Church is a matter of sin; unity and love in the Church reflects God's own desire. So buckle up: this series is going to be a ride.

    29 | An Announcement from Mount Vigil

    Mount Vigil is going on hiatus; we've wrapped up our two year long Story of God series and we'll be taking the next few months to pray into the future. We're living through the end of an age, as we've said before. That means we're facing unique pressures, and so we need to seek the face of the Lord as ask for His wisdom. We're not quite sure what will come out of this discernment process, but we'll be back next year. In the meantime, the Lord bless you and keep you. Warm regards from MV.

    28 | Palestine, Israel, and Divisions in the Body of Christ

    In this conversation, Blaine and Anthony share a few thoughts on responding to current events in terms of allegiance to Jesus. The crisis involving Israel and Palestine is a divisive issue, if you hadn't noticed. The good news for us is that the Gospel of Jesus applies to situations exactly like this one and the Church is empowered by the Spirit to respond in an utterly unique way. We hope some of the thoughts here help you to love God, love your neighbor, and see and operate by the Spirit while Jesus makes it on earth as it is in heaven.
