    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

    Advent Through the Eyes of Augustine with Rhys Laverty and Mark Hamilton

    Rhys Laverty and Mark Hamilton join us to discuss their new book Augustine: Advent Homilies, a collection of seventeen sermons by Augustine on the topic of Advent. We talk about how Augustine’s sermons give insight into the ways his theological understanding, pastoral wisdom, and rhetorical skill combine to draw the hearts of his hearers upward to God. He uses paradox and imagery to illuminate the divine mysteries of the Incarnation, eternal generation, and virgin birth of Christ. In doing so, he provides a template for modern reflection on the season of Advent. We also discuss the role of the sermon in a liturgical context as well as the danger of only focusing in Christ as Savior.  Show Notes Purchase Augustine: Advent Homilies Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel

    The Surprising Jewish Roots of the Last Supper with Matt Colvin

    Multiple times a year Christians around the globe take part in one of the central rituals of the faith: the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist. This central symbol of unity also serves as a battleground between various traditions within Christianity about the nature and meaning of this ritual. Matt Colvin enters the fray to discuss his book The Lost Supper: Revisiting Passover and the Origins of the Eucharist which unravels the mysteries surrounding the Lord’s Supper by connecting this ritual to the Old Testament Passover meal. Specifically, we discuss the coded communication Jesus implements to communicate his Messianic identity to his disciples, the nature of the “fellowship” with Christ experienced in the Supper as described by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians, and the ignorance of first century Judaism by many Christians throughout church history that led to critical misunderstandings of the Eucharist. Matt also describes the “narratival” way in which we participate in the events of the death and resurrection of Christ through the sacraments as well as the relationship between the church and Israel.    Show Notes Get Matt's Book — The Lost Supper: Revisiting Passover and the Origins of the Eucharist Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel

    The Olivet Discourse: Is it About the End of the World? with Jon Sedlak

    A lot of ink’s been spilled over the timeline of Matthew 24, the famous “Olivet Discourse”. Jon Sedlak helps us to step back from the debates throughout church history and examine this famous discourse with fresh eyes. What if Jesus doesn’t answer his disciples’ questions in the order they’re asked? What if he intends for his disciples to hear his words as solely about the destruction of the Temple? And if so, how does that forge new pathways to understand the gospel of Matthew and resolve longstanding tensions in the text? We explore all of these questions and more.  Show Notes Get Jon's Book Reading Matthew, Trusting Jesus Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel

    Forming the Faith of the Next Generation with Brad East

    Everybody wants to know the secret of “reaching the next generation”, but as many anxious parents know there’s many obstacles to teens maintaining their faith into college. This leads to books helping teens reconcile science with faith, understand modern issues about sexuality, or offer historic apologetics for the resurrection. All of these matter, but they’re insufficient for the task at hand. Brad East joins us to talk about his book Letters to a Future Saint, a collection of letters designed to engage young minds with the history of the faith, the importance of the church, the significance of creation, and the testimony of the martyrs. Along the way we talk about ways a truncated gospel undermines our faith in Christ and sets up students for failure.

    A Crash Course on Church Councils with Matt Hoskin

    Do you want a deeper connection to the historic roots of Christianity, but don’t know where to start? Dr. Matt Hoskin of the Davenant Institute joins us to tell the story of the first thousand years of Christianity through the seven ecumenical councils. Along the way we’ll discuss the controversies surrounding the divinity and humanity of Christ, the veneration of icons, and the political intrigue that surrounded it all. Buckle up for a wild tour of church history full of twists, turns, and unexpected outcomes.  Show Notes Davenant Institute: https://davenantinstitute.org/ Matt’s Podcast Devotion to Christ: Anglican Spirituality, a Tradition for Today: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/devotion-to-christ-anglican-spirituality-a/id1647857228 Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel

    The Sin of Shyness (Respectable Sins Series)

    Did you know that shyness is a sin? Well technically the term is “pusillanimity” — a smallness of soul. Theologians of the past describe this vice as a failure to trust God. We fear the opinions of others so we shrink back from taking risks for God, serving others, and standing up for our convictions. This particular vice often masquerades as humility, but in reality demonstrates self-focus that dishonors God and our own humanity.  Show Notes Support us on Patreon Website: thatllpreach.io IG: thatllpreachpodcast YouTube Channel

    Why Protestants Have Thinner Bibles than Roman Catholics with John Meade

    There’s a common myth that Martin Luther cut out seven books of the Old Testament as a way to remove biblical support for Roman Catholic doctrines. In reality the early church disputed whether to include the “deuterocanon” or “apocrypha” from the Old Testament Scriptures and this debate carried on until the Council of Trent in 1545. So why did the Reformers reject books like 1-2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, and Wisdom of Solomon, not to mention additional chapters of both Esther and Daniel? And how does recent scholarship on this issue get to the bottom of this dispute? John Meade From Phoenix Seminary joins us to shed light on this controversy by looking at early church canon lists and little known facts about the Reformers, Trent, Augustine, Jerome, and the significance of the collection of OT Greek translations called the “Septuagint”.
