    478 - Falling Short of God's Glory (To be Human 25)

    Falling Short of God's Glory. Today, Mike and Tim explore various themes including the announcement of Stafford's new music project Barewolf, the intersection of political duty and faith, the concept of empire versus the kingdom of God, and a deep dive into the nature of sin as presented in Genesis. How is sin external and can convert individuals? How does that relate to the importance of imaging God, and the implications of worship and idolatry in daily life? The conversation emphasizes the need for discernment and the active participation in living out one's faith in a complex world. What is the the multifaceted nature of sin? What is its communal implications, and the importance of language in shaping identity? Sin is not just an individual act but a communal issue that affects relationships and society. They wrap up with a talk about the role of worship, justice, and discipleship in the Christian faith, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of these concepts beyond superficial practices. 00:00 - Barewolf 04:00 - Live Podcast Announcement!

    The Mark of Cain (To Be Human 24). In this episode, Mike and Tim explore the themes of Genesis, particularly focusing on the story of Cain and Abel.

The conversation delves into the theological interpretations of these narratives, emphasizing God's pursuit of humanity and the choices individuals face between good and evil. Further, Tim and Mike explore the themes of fear, political tensions, and the enduring relevance of biblical stories. Implications of violence! Responsibility!

    472 - To Be Human - Part Twenty: Snakebitten

    To Be Human - Part Twenty: Snakebitten. Today, we explore the origin story of the powers in Genesis, focusing on the serpent and the choice between following Yahweh's wisdom or defining good and evil for oneself. We look at the story of Cain and Abel as an example of the ongoing conflict between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. Further, we look at the theme of the serpent and its influence throughout biblical narratives. It begins with the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis, where sin enters the world through the serpent's temptation. This theme continues in Genesis 6 with the Nephilim, who are the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of humans. The conversation then highlights how this pattern of succumbing to the serpent's temptation repeats throughout biblical history, with figures like Cain, Solomon, and even David. However, Jesus breaks this pattern by resisting the serpent's temptation in the wilderness. Spiritual warfare! The importance of resisting social behaviors that dehumanize and divide! The need to redefine our roles and resist in a way that promotes human flourishing and breaks destructive cycles! First, we spend time lamenting and discussing the recent school shooting in Atlanta and our frustration with the lack of action on gun violence. We question the Christian position on guns and lament the normalization of school shootings. 00:00 - Intro 02:20 - Discussion on the School Shooting in Atlanta 13:30 - Genesis As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

    471 - To Be Human - Part Nineteen: Union of the Snake

    To Be Human - Part Nineteen: Union of the Snake. Well, here we go. Today, the identity of the serpent in the Garden of Eden is examined, suggesting that it may represent a spiritual being rather than a literal snake (whaaaaaaat?). Mike and Tim discuss the concept of enmity between the serpent and the woman's seed and explore the idea of seed as both physical descendants and those who image God. We also discuss the conflict between different offspring throughout the book of Genesis, highlighting the war between the seed of the serpent and the seed of God. What is the significance of Jesus as the ultimate he who images God and resists the serpent's temptations? The conversation ends with a discussion on the role of Adam and Eve as archetypes and representative humans. But first, we wrestle with a really sincere email about mental health and the shame that can be associated with medication. The emailer is struggling with depression and anger and wonders if relying on medication is a lack of faith. We discuss the importance of seeking help for mental health issues and emphasize that there is nothing wrong with using medication or therapy. We also address the stigma surrounding mental health in Christian communities and encourage the listener to continue fighting for their well-being. Further, the conversation explores the concept of parenting and the fear and pressure that comes with it as well as the harmful effects of control and the importance of autonomy in parenting. The conversation also delves into the societal expectations and shame associated with parenting, as well as the need for self-care and mental health support for parents. TIMESTAMPS! 00:00 - Intro 04:40 - Email on Mental Health and Medication 35:30 - Genesis Three and the Snake As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
