    Review of An Introduction to the Making and Meaning of the Bible w/ Kyle Dunham

    In this episode of Theologically Driven, host Phil Cecil welcomes Dr. Kyle Dunham to discuss Michael B. Shepherd’s new book, An Introduction to the Making and Meaning of the Bible. They explore how Scripture’s composition—especially in the Old Testament—reveals its message through narrative framed by poetry, editorial comments, and programmatic passages. Dunham highlights examples like Jacob’s and Moses’s blessings, the Balaam oracles, and the way books begin and end to signal theological themes. The conversation also covers textual criticism and translation, including the roles of the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and why Jeremiah’s textual history is uniquely complex. Turning to compositional strategy, they trace messianic trajectories in the Old Testament and show how the New Testament mirrors and fulfills these patterns through the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles. Along the way, Dunham offers appreciative engagement with Shepherd’s insights while noting points of critique—such as privileging the Septuagint in certain cases and the balance of kingdom and covenant themes.

    What is Trauma-Informed Counseling? w/ Jacob Elwart

    In this episode of Theologically Driven, we welcome Dr. Jacob Elwart for a conversation on trauma-informed counseling through a biblical lens. We define trauma, explore how Scripture speaks to suffering, forgiveness, anxiety, and hope, and contrast secular trauma-informed methods (e.g., EMDR, yoga, cinema therapy) with historic biblical counseling’s aim of spiritual transformation. Dr. Elwart discusses limits, when to refer, and why bypassing the spiritual dynamics of the soul can be a disservice to those who suffer. The episode also announces the 2026 Rice Lecture Series (March 20), featuring a formal debate between historic biblical counseling and trauma-informed biblical counseling—covering the sufficiency of Scripture, common grace insights, and practical implications for ministry.

    The Abrahamic Covenant as the Foundation for Missions w/ Kyle Dunham

    In this episode of Theologically Driven, Dr. Dunham joins the conversation to explore his recent article published in the Spring 2025 edition of the Master's Seminary Journal. He presents a compelling case for the Abrahamic Covenant as the biblical foundation for missions, arguing that God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham and his seed is central to understanding the church's mission today. Dr. Dunham walks through the development of the covenant across Genesis, offering a unique four-stage framework—promise, ratification, sign, and affirmation—and explains why terms like “unconditional” may not fully capture the covenant’s nature. He also discusses how the Abrahamic Covenant relates to other biblical covenants, especially the Davidic and New Covenants, and what this means for the continuity of Israel in God’s redemptive plan. The conversation challenges broader definitions of missions that include social justice and creation care, urging a return to a gospel-centered focus rooted in Scripture. Whether you're a pastor, missionary, or student of theology, this episode offers rich insights into biblical theology and its practical implications for global missions today.

    The Secret to Contentment with Jacob Elwart

    Contentment is not natural but a learned skill, as Paul states in Philippians 4. Today Dr. Elwart highlights that a lack of contentment often stems from bitterness or questioning God's goodness, which can sideline our service to Christ. To grow in this area, we need to focus on four key aspects: perspective, responsibility, recognizing where true satisfaction comes from, and understanding God's providence. Ultimately, a proper view of God and ourselves is essential for trusting that God orchestrates all things for our good, even in difficult circumstances.
