Thirty-one years ago we took on an emergency family project -- we wrote a point for point rebuttal of a full page newspaper ad placed by Holocaust denier Bradley Smith in the Ohio State Lantern. In this podcast, I read the article we wrote, whi
Owen Kindig has a man to man conversation on what the Bible says about Hell with J. Murray Murdoch, emeritus professor of History at Cedarville University. Their viewpoints could not be more different, but their respect for the Bible and each o
We all live in a tent city. Temporary, half-baked, unfixable. But the vision of Abraham persists. "A City with foundations". Many long for it. Is it a vain hope? An impossible dream? The end of death; a global resurrection. Even the findings of
Who wants to live in a tent? Millions don't have a choice. But Abraham did and today we'll find out why. Something permanent is coming ... and it is near. This wide-ranging episode looks at migrants, including the recent ship full of them who w
Two Christians have a calm, respectful discussion about a topic they profoundly disagree about. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? And maybe, impossible? Murray grew up in orthodoxy, Owen grew up as a heretic. But they are good friends and brothers
it is Near explores the immediate future -- the next two or three decades from now to 2050. Is it bad? Way worse than even pessimists think, Is it good? Way better than any of us can imagine. I'm hoping you will join me to look with curiosity a
Are you open to considering outside input about your attitudes? Most people are. Christians are by definition -- willing, even eager to know God's will and guidance regarding all of their thoughts and motivations.That's the defining message of
On her 21st birthday, Queen Elizabeth pledged that her lifelong motto would be "I serve." We pay tribute to her for this noble sentiment, and remember that this character quality is the commandment of all true disciples of Christ, according to
When describing the Power of the Cross in 1 Corinthians 1, Paul notices that most people are not impressed. Though Christianity seemed to spread to a place of world domination for many centuries, Paul's words have always remained true: the worl
When we listen to God we often try to turn up the volume. But it seems the ancient prophets didn't hear it clearly until they turned their faces toward the wilderness. In this episode we explore the experiences of Samuel, Moses, Balaam, Jonah,
Two actors on the biggest stages of the world go off-script and cause a stir. What can we learn without pointing fingers? A charitable discussion of the limits of human power and the arc of history. The meaning of faith in Hebrews 11, the humbl
The devastation of Ukraine weighs heavy on my heart, and in this episode I turn to the words of David in Psalm 9 and 10 to voice the sadness and yet hope that all people of good will feel at times like this.
Do we reap what we sow? Does deal with us as with sons? Are we like clay in the hands of a potter? All 3 of these metaphors have a Bible basis but don't fully reveal the way God's grace works in our lives. As we work to understand the role of w
Why do good people get run over? This multi-part Bible study starts with the prophecy of Joel 4 and explores the weakness of God's people and part one of understanding the "weakness of God. "
In this more in-depth teaching that launches from Psalm 15, Owen looks at the decisions and deeds of characters of the Bible.

Abraham has already received the fulfillment of his promise -- a great name, and possession of the land of Israel. 55% of the world's population now fulfill the promise made 4000 years ago that this one man and woman would produce children what
January feels like a good time to chew on "Saving Grace". What does the Bible say about who is saved ... and how, when, why and where? It all begins with Abraham, so we'll first spend two sessions on the man and woman to whom almost two-thirds
If Job and Jesus could ask God, "Why?!" so can we. We cannot believe we are loved unless we face our situation honestly and have a conversation about it. Job chapter 21.
What a year. A quiet reflection on what we have lost, and the price paid by our health care workers and public servants this year. And yet there are positives. What we can be grateful for, and a few of the things we have learned. What a year,
