Welcome to the Big Picture Podcast. I’m Joel Fieri and this podcast seeks to begin and hopefully sustain a conversation about current trends, ideas and issues in the Church and greater society. On today’s show, I think it’s time to check out the view from the back pew with The Backrow Baptist, who right now is thinking hymn books weren’t such a bad idea as he’s having his usual trouble clapping and singing to the beat while also squinting... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. Let’s look at Darwin’s Tree of Life. At the bottom of the diagram is the first ancestor and over time, it shows a development through random mutation and natural selection into all the living organisms. It’s like they’re branched together like a tree: This was one of Darwin’s most famous examples that he pointed to in his efforts to clarify his theory. He went on to say: “Why... Read more

From the New York Times: Vigorous exercise is good for almost all of the body — except perhaps the teeth, according to a surprising new study of athletes. The study, published in The Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, found that heavy training may contribute to dental problems in unexpected ways. And we’re not talking about a boxer taking a fist to his teeth or hockey players receiving their obligatory dental re-work from a puck in the mouth.... Read more

The Bible says that we, as Christians, will inevitably take part in spiritual battles. Just because we decide to follow Jesus, life doesn’t magically start going our way. After all, who was the greatest Christian that ever lived? Jesus! And, as He walked in the Spirit, doing God’s will, He was crucified! So, if He encountered such strife, what makes you or me any different? Now, when tough times come, you can have the peace that comes from God that... Read more

Suzanne Lederer leads us in connecting with God through Lectio Divina, or “Sacred Reading”. Romans 6:6-11 (MSG) Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life—no longer at sin’s every beck and call! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ’s sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection. We know that when Jesus was raised from the dead... Read more

From Carey Green, author, blogger, speaker, coach and pastor: IN THE LAST INSTALLMENT OF THIS PODCAST I THRUST YOU DEEP INTO THE RECESSES OF MY MIND… I HOPE IT WASN’T TOO SCARY. My goal was to take you on the journey that I took as I was trying to unpack the notion of radical faith, because when it comes to faith in Jesus, I don’t want to be normal… at least not the kind of normal that is normal in... Read more

From Certified Life Coach Dixie Diamanti, Author of Climbing Out of the Box and Fifty Ways to Meet Your Lover: Are you frustrated and feel as if God isn’t using you the way you think He should be? Is it not happening fast enough? Do you watch other ministries and find yourself envying their positions and wish you could be them? I always thought that because God had called me to write and teach that I needed a growing audience to validate that... Read more

From Pam Rohr, author of Blended but not Broken – Hope and Encouragement for Blended Families: Parenting matters is too often the very issue that tears couples apart. Often times, when two newlyweds are alone, life is good.  But add one or both sets of kids to the mix, and their happy marriage seems to go up in smoke. Why is that?  It’s a “couple issue” that is revealed when the kids are present.  If the couple can reason together... Read more
