  • The person, poetry, and passion of the Gospel of John
    Apr 24 2024

    All four Gospels declare the “good news” of Jesus Christ, but John’s account (written years after the other three) is seemingly more personal, relational, and filled with the richness of intimacy.

    In this episode, Nathan gives an overview and talks about the person, poetry, and passion of John’s Gospel.

  • Living in the Now and Not Yet
    Apr 18 2024

    The beauty of the Christian life is that we live in what scholars often call the “now and not yet.”

    In other words, while we have salvation and redemption NOW, there is also a waiting and longing for our future (completed) salvation and redemption.

    Throughout Scripture, salvation is used in all three tenses: we were saved (past), are being saved (present), and will be saved (future).

    In this episode, Nathan talks about the three tenses of our salvation and how we can find the beauty and profundity in our “now and not yet” lives.

  • Why you should "chew" God's Word
    Mar 20 2024

    Joshua 1:8 commands us “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

    Biblical meditation is drastically different from New Age meditation. In biblical meditation, we are to fill up, ponder, consider, and think upon God's Word, His works, His life, the Cross, and the Gospel. In short, we should continually think upon Christ and His Word.

    In this episode, Nathan discusses the concept of biblical meditation, why its so important to our spiritual lives, and gives four ideas to get you started.
