"And Forgive us our Debts" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 7)
Episode 190. "And Forgive us our Debts" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 7)
Jesus tells us to pray not only for our physical needs, but also our spiritual ones. In this episode we discuss how to best translate the word "debts," why Jesus uses that word instead of "sins" or "transgressions," and the importance of forgiving others even as we pray for ourselves.

"Give us today our daily bread" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 6)
Episode 189. Thy Will be Done. Lord's Prayer Part 5
Jesus turns from our prayer for God to prayer for ourselves, and we begin with "bread." Clearly bread means more than just bread, but what exactly? Today we discuss what this petition teaches us about ourselves, about our need for one another, and about our posture in prayer. Also: Gray has some thoughts about low-carb diets.
We also have an opportunity to talk with Dr. Sutanto about his recently released book. You can check that out here: https://www.amazon.com/Clark-Handbook-Neo-Calvinism-Handbooks/dp/0567698084/ref=sr_1_2?sr=8-2

"Thy Will be Done" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 5)
Episode 188. Thy Will be Done. Lord's Prayer Part 5
We round out our discussion of the first half of the Lord's Prayer this week by discussing that nature of God's providence. In his wisdom he has chosen to incorporate us, and our prayers, into the working out of his grand design. How does that impact what we pray about? How does it "work" theologically? And what does this petition tell us about God's work and wisdom?

"Thy Kingdom Come" (The Lord's Prayer Part 4)
Episode 187. Thy Kingdom Come. Lord's Prayer Part 4
Jesus comes preaching the Kingdom of God. And he prays for it too. What are we praying for when we pray "thy Kingdom come?" Is this about evangelism, or is the a broader and deeper scope to the kingdom? How does it relate to the New Heavens and the New Earth?

shoRTS: How did we get the Old Testament? (ft. Scott Redd)
shoRTS: Tommy and Scott sat down mid-January (yes, it's taken awhile to get this one out because we've had so many special guests of late!) to discuss the formation and reliability of the OT. Although the episode wasn't short, our studio participation was! And yet this was a fascinating deep dive into the very complex nature of how we received the OT. Topics include prophetic discourse, the dead sea scrolls, scribal editing, canon formation, the self-authentication of Scripture, and text-criticism.

"Hallowed be Thy Name" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 3)
Episode 186. Hallowed Be Thy Name. Lord's Prayer Part 3
What does it mean to "hallow" the name of God? If God is already holy, why do we pray for him to make his name holy? This week we discuss the name of God, the way in which it is to be honored, and how this petition embraces everything unique about the Christian religion.
