Voxology ·

2020/10/26

Today we have on author Kaitlyn Schiess, to discuss her new book ‘The Liturgy of Politics.’ Kaitlyn, a self described ‘Theology Nerd,’ has written for the New York Times, Relevant Magazine and Christianity Today. We have a great conversation about the tenuous relationship between faith and politics. What is liturgy? How do you define politics? How are we and the Church shaped by our habits and practices? We talk about recognizing how formative the political entities around us are, and how we may

2020/10/19

Sermon on the Mount: Chapter One - Hope For the Church. In this episode we talk about the through line Jesus has woven throughout the first section of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has been leading the people at the mount on a journey. Everything He has said so far has been intentional and building. Where do we find ourselves after this first section? Where is He going from here? We also answer a question about the role of Church and that of a Shepherd. And Mike has a special announcement at the

Voxology ·

2020/10/12

Sermon on the Mount: Part 9. Matthew 5:43-48. Love Your Enemies. This is the last piece, of the first section of the Sermon on the Mount. Here, Jesus challenges the laws of reciprocity we’ve seen in the past few weeks, highlighting the embodied faith of the Kingdom. What levitical laws does Jesus confront? How does he expand the Jewish understanding of who was a neighbor? What is the understanding of an enemy? How are we to interact with those who oppose us? What does it mean to love your enemies

2020/10/05

Race, Abortion & Evangelicals. Today we’re diverging from the Sermon on The Mount, to talk about the history of segregation and race relations in America. We’re joined by friend Phil Vischer from our cousin podcast, The Holy Post. Phil recently released a pair of videos on race that went viral and stirred up conversation. What is the history of segregation in the U.S.? What about within the church? What responsibility do we have today for the sins of yesterday? When did abortion become the singular

263 - An Eye For An Eye

Voxology ·

2020/09/28

Sermon on the Mount: Part 8. Matthew 5:38-42. An eye for an eye. This one is fun. Jesus continues to flip the script on what we know and have held to be true. There is a lot, a lot here, so give yourself some time. Jesus is purposefully upending many common held practices in regards to revenge and reciprocity, resistance and passivity. What was Jesus saying when he tells them to turn the other cheek? To offer their cloak? To walk an extra mile? What does this say about the Kingdom that He is

2020/09/21

Sermon on the Mount: Part 7. Let your ‘yes’ be your ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ be your ‘no.’ Jesus is pressing forward, with a topic that we still struggle with: Using Religious Language to Manipulate Others. What does it mean to swear or to take an oath? When is that permitted? What does Jesus say about truth telling and bolstering your claims with the name of Yahweh or Heaven? What does Let your ‘yes’ be your ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ be your ‘no’ mean? The thread from the Beatitudes, through anger, lust and

Voxology ·

2020/09/14

Sermon on the Mount: Part 6. Jesus, Divorce & Purity Culture. Jesus is on a roll, with a thread running through Anger & Lust to Divorce. Here, He is pressed with an old argument between two differing Rabbinical ideas. Jesus offers another. What is He doing? Jesus answers one thing and flips the script on another. What is the ideal God set for the covenant of marriage? How is that broken? We look at Rabbinical ideas of gender structures and how they still play out today and how we might choose

260 - Lust, Shame & Modesty

Voxology ·

2020/09/07

Sermon On The Mount: Part 5. Lust. Shame. Coveting. Jesus, as He does, is cutting straight to the core. But what is He saying exactly? And to whom? What is lust? How does what Jesus is saying actually translate? How does sexual desire play into the equation? Our history with sexual desire and shame is a long and troubled one, too often dictated by voices and agendas that are made to cloud Jesus’s message. He is disrupting more than the idea of impure thoughts. Jesus is challenging the long history

Gombis’d! This week we have the return of the great Dr. Timothy Gombis to talk ‘The Great Commission’ from Matthew 28. What does the Bible actually say about evangelism? What was Jesus saying when he said “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations?” What does discipleship look like and what is its relationship with the idea of ‘conversion?’ As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Sermon On The Mount: Part 4. Anger. This week, we dive into the section where Jesus begins some of His ‘light & heavy' teaching. How is it that we should process anger? How do we show it? What does Jesus have to say about anger and its links to violence? How are we to conduct ourselves as Christians when we vehemently disagree with someone or something? These are are some of the foundational pieces of the Kingdom at hand, the now and not yet. As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we

QAnon. Pizzagate. Conspiracy theories. Why are humans drawn to these? How has a faction of the Church latched on to the dangerous and anonymous Q and the wild theories he purports. What effect does this have on theology and social engagement? How does all this fit into the Sermon on the Mount and our involvement with what Jesus was starting? We are thrilled to have great friend of the show Skye Jethani with us today as we dissect and discuss. Skye is cohost of our cousin podcast, the Holy Post

2020/08/10

Sermon On The Mount: Part 3. Light & Heavy. Today we tackle one of the most important sections of the Sermon on the Mount, as what Jesus says helps to frame everything after. What did Jesus mean when he said he came not to abolish, but to fulfill? What was His relationship to the Torah? What is the definition of abolish? What did this mean to the crowd there? What does it mean to us now? What is the difference between light and heavy commands? So much to unpack! As always, we encourage and would

Sermon On The Mount: Part 2. The Politics of Salt & Light. We’re continuing on through the Sermon on the Mount, with the oft quoted verses focusing on Jesus’s calling to the people to be both Salt and Light. What did Jesus mean when he called the folks at the mount to be Salt? What implications did that have? What of the command to be Light? To whom and how? How does this section play off of the Beatitudes that precede it? How do these commands relate to us, today? Painting by Sadao Watanabe. We

Sermon On The Mount: Part 1. Of Such As These. Mike cracks open the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, by dissecting the word ‘Blessed.’ How does the word translate? What was Jesus trying to say here and to whom? The context of these ‘Beatitudes’ helps us to understand the Kingdom Jesus was ushering in, and how we are to interact with the message He was delivering to those people at that time. What does it mean to be meek? What scripture was Jesus referencing and how would it be interpreted by

Voxology ·

2020/07/19

Sermon On The Mount: Introduction. This week, we are beginning a series going through the Sermon On The Mount. In a time where we are continually divided, even within the church, we take a look at a different affiliation, one that supersedes nation and location and informs how we exist within others: the Kingdom of God. In many ways, this is a series that will challenge much of what we hold tight within our identity (for Mike & Tim especially!), and we’re very excited to embark on with all of you.

How do we know an apology is sincere when they’re always wrapped in buzzwords? Should the Church be inventive and let go of their current format during quarantine? Were there other people outside of the Garden in Genesis? Alway feel free to email in questions to hello@voxpodcast.com. Books that are
