God Is Good (Another health update)
Hey friends,
I just wanted to pop in here and say "Thank you!" to all of you who've reached out and expressed that you're praying for me and my family with the health issues that have come up in the last couple of months. I'm grateful that I am feeling better. My energy is recovering and the last several weeks have been quite a bit better all around. Here's a bit of an update.
Please continue to pray for us as you think about it. -
Health Update + Live Free Video Series Launch Delay
Hello friends,
This month has been a pretty difficult month for us as a family. I've been hit with some fairly significant health issues and it has led us to put pretty much everything on hold as we seek out some answers. Here's an update on everything.
We envy your prayers and thank you for your participation in this work!
Grace and peace.

The Bible Is Not about You - It's about God and His Partnership with Humanity
Sometimes we mistakenly center ourselves in the story of the Bible, as though the Bible is all about answering our questions and giving us direction for life. But the Bible is not simply about helping us navigate through life successfully.
It could be said the Bible is about God—who he is, what he has done, and what he is doing. More specifically, the Bible is Messianic literature. It’s about the Messiah: the God who became human. Therefore, it’s about US—God and Man. Following Jesus is about becoming him, becoming a part of His body.
Why might it be important for us to see the Bible as a story of humanity becoming the body of Christ as we read it? You can send your feedback to podcast@asherwitmer.com.

What Does Asher Actually Believe about Gender?? (Responding to Questions)
I recently published an article, Is It Sinful to Use “Transgender Pronouns”? In the article, I explored how Rosaria Butterfield recently “repented” from using what she calls, “transgender pronouns.” Why is she doing that? Should you feel the same way? A few people responded with some questions that I thought were worth responding to in a specific episode. So that's what we dive into today.
How do you think we can best build bridges with folks choosing to identify as transgender? You can send your feedback to podcast@asherwitmer.com.

#100 - Jesus Sees Himself As Embedded within a Large Story
How does the rest of the world view the Christianity that comes from the West? David Swartz does a wonderful job giving us reminding us that evangelical networks not only go out to, but also come from, the ends of the earth as he shares stories of resistance, accommodation, and cooperation in his book Facing West.
Then we dive into the third paradigm shift that helps us better understand the story of the Bible. That is that Jesus saw himself embedded within a large story.
Why is it important to understand that the Old and New Testaments are not separate messages but one continuous message climaxing in Jesus? You can send your feedback to podcast@asherwitmer.com.

#099 - The Bible Is a Collection of Writings by Various Authors
God Doesn't Waste a Thing! That's the book I talk about at the beginning of this episode. Even when life has changed in inconvenient ways, God will use it to further his purposes, as Luke Chance shares in his beautiful testimony of redemption.
After the blurb about the book, we dive into the second paradigm shift that helps us better understand the story of the Bible: it's made up of many pieces of writings written by many different authors.
Since the Bible was written by many different people, what implications does this have for how we read and study the Bible? You can send your feedback to podcast@asherwitmer.com.

Customer Reviews
Keep it up
Hey Asher, I really enjoy listening to your podcast. You've been asking for honest reviews, and the hardest part was getting here. I personally use Android, and there's no way to review on itunes from Android. So I made a special trip here with a mac to give a thumbs up. :) I love your passion for the Church. It's evident in the people you seek out to interview, and the topics you discuss. Stay strong, and Press on!
Good content, but too long
I have enjoyed the unscripted discussions of real issues that we face. The problem is that these podcasts are typically over an hour, which is well past the length of my commute and attention span. I have started many of these podcasts, but since they took longer than my 30 minute drive, I never finished them.
Seriously, if you could keep these discussions <30-45 minutes and to the point, I (and I think many others) would be able to fit these podcasts into our schedules.
Five Stars
"Critics love it!" "It’s sensational!" "Riveting!"
"Compelling and thoughtful." "You will not regret listening to this podcast!"All these things have been said about the Unfeigned Christianity podcast. The host Asher Witmer is a master in the art of communication and will leave you with bated breath waiting for the next episode. His explorations of deep and sometimes controversial theology will leave you at the edge of your seat.
Seriously though,love the podcast! Would like to see a Joe Rogan style podcast that’s three hours or so in length. 😁
