If anyone is in Christ, that person is part of the new creation. However, living in the new creation isn't easy, it takes honesty with God, vulnerability with one another, and the empowerment of the Spirit. These conversations with Christian scholars, pastors, and lay-leaders - hosted by pastor and theologian Dr. Scott Daniels - are meant to encourage, inform, and expand the imagination of those seeking to live as a reflection of Christ's new creation.

Customer Reviews
My TBR list hates it…
I started listening after Dr. Daniels was elected GS. Nearly every episode I wind up adding a book to my to be read pile. It is great to hear theological insights from his guests. Very good interviews and the experts offer great insight on various aspects of faith. I’m glad I am late but here for it.
Powerful. Thought-provoking. Faithful.
I grew up in churches that were afraid of biblical scholars—especially those who didn’t say what they wanted to hear in the words they expected to hear. (They didn’t call it “afraid;” they called it “against.”) The subtext was usually: “Those people go to college and stop being faithful God and to God’s Word.”
This podcast has been a powerful remedy to that fear. Week after week, I’ve had the opportunity to 'meet’ scholars whose lives and hearts have been captured by Christ, who are following God’s call on their lives in academia—precisely because they desire to be faithful both to God and to the Scriptures.
While listening, I’ve been invited to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. I have been challenged to consider faithful interpretations of Scripture from vantage points different than my own. I have heard the voice of the Spirit testify to my heart: “This is who I am, and who I am calling you to be!” And I have been able to more fully imagine what it looks like to live the Kingdom life now.
Thank you, Dr. Daniels, and thanks to your guests as well. I am grateful for the ways this podcast helps me to live more fully as a faithful reflection of the New Creation in Christ Jesus.
The Local Church and the Academy
I love the project of this podcast: keeping the academy and the local church connected and in conversation with each other. This podcast has become a valued part of my limited time available for media.
