Though The Shack is fiction, it teaches unbiblical... Read more

A young listener of the podcast, named John, writes in to ask: “Hello Pastor John! I am in high school. At school I want to be well liked — even thought of as cool — but I’m also very scared that wanting to be popular will lead me into sin.

On this Thursday night of Jesus’ final week, mere hours before the crucifixion, Jesus was worried about His disciples. And as you are about to hear in this PODCAST, He was worried for a very good reason. I don’t know if you have ever associated the word worry with Jesus, but as you will hear, in this case, at this time, in this place, that word worry is most appropriate. Don’t worry (pun intended). I’m not trying to get all... Read more

The city of Berne is in northern Germany, toward the west, not too far from the border with the Netherlands. In 1520, Berchtold Haller came to the church at St. Vincent in the city.

Each belief system, whether secular or religious, is rooted in some kind of narrative or story that ends up forming a person’s core values, goals, and habits. As we have seen in previous episodes, all of these things are bound together. The same is true with the Christian story and how we relate the drama to the doctrines and worship we derive... Read more
