    Fasting to Draw Near: An Ash Wednesday Reflection

    In this episode, we explore the significance of Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent—40 days of repentance, mourning, and fasting in preparation for Easter. Drawing parallels to an athlete’s disciplined training, we discuss how fasting trains us to rely on God’s Word rather than our appetites. Jesus Himself calls us to fast, and through this practice, we create space for prayer, reflection, and repentance. We dive into the deeper purpose of fasting, how it sharpens our prayers, and how it helps us live in greater dependence on God.

    Lent: Beyond Social Media – The Discipline of Fasting with Jay Thomas

    Lent is more than giving up social media—it’s a season of discipline, abstinence, and reliance on God. In this episode, we explore the history of Lent, common misconceptions, and the purpose of fasting. True fasting disciplines both body and soul, teaching us to depend on God rather than our most basic needs. If we can’t give up a meal for Christ, how can we give up our lives? Join us as we reflect on Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness and what it means to live by every word from the mouth of God.

    Equipping the Church Worldwide: Building Seminaries and Training Leaders with John Miller

    What if every pastor had access to deep, biblical theological training—no matter where they lived? In this episode, we sit down with John Miller, Vice President and Academic Dean at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary, whose mission is nothing short of transformational. With a burning passion to equip indigenous pastors, John is spearheading efforts to plant seminaries around the world, ensuring that church leaders in Africa, Asia, and beyond have the theological foundation they need to shepherd their congregations faithfully. John shares his personal journey—how God led him from the classroom to the frontlines of global theological training. He paints a picture of the urgent need for solid biblical education in regions where pastors often lead churches with little to no formal training. We’ll hear powerful stories from his work overseas, the challenges of building sustainable seminaries, and why equipping local leaders is the key to lasting gospel impact.

    Practicing the Presence: Application

    In the final episode of our series on Brother Lawrence’s Practicing the Presence of God, we explore how to bring his insights into our daily lives. Can we truly experience God as he did, or are his claims too lofty or unrealistic?

    Christian Freedom, Politics, and Religious Liberty with Brad Littlejohn

    It’s no secret that many Christians feel disoriented when it comes to understanding the relationship between faith and politics. Much of this confusion comes from the fact that we’ve adopted a modern conception of freedom. To the modern mind freedom refers to the ability to do whatever you want, but what if that assumption is wrong? What if Christianity provides a concept of freedom that’s not only true, but beneficial for the common good? Brad Littlejohn joins us to talk about a Christian conception of freedom, a proper understanding of religious liberty, and the role of technology in shaping our society for good or ill.  Show Notes Purchase Brad’s Book: Called to Freedom: Retrieving Christian Liberty in an Age of License Subscribe to Brad’s Substack Commonwealth Dispatches Learn more about the Ethics and Public Policy Center: https://eppc.org/ Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel

    Practicing the Presence: Attention

    We continue our series on Brother Lawrence’s classic work Practicing the Presence of God by focusing, no pun intended, on the topic of attention. One of the great insights that Brother Lawrence brings to the table is the reality that attention to God is something we train through discipline and practice. It’s not something that happens over night which challenges us to consider the ways distraction prevents us from awareness of God. We also talk about how what we pay attention to either forms or deforms us based upon what we focus on as well as how a lack of attention may lie behind every sin.

    Christmas and Practicing the Presence of God

    Our Christmas gift to you: the long-awaited return of Paul Rezkalla. In this episode we begin a new series on Brother Lawrence’s classic “Practicing the Presence of God”. We’re going to talk about what we mean by “presence of God” over against modern conceptions. We also discuss the ways distraction and worldliness draw us away from God. There’s no better time to think about practicing the presence of God than Christmas when we celebrate the coming of our Lord in human flesh. Merry Christmas to you all.  Show Notes Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel
