10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 9 | Episode 235

January 21, 2026 • 42 mins
Barry covers a “commandment” that may be the most juxtaposed to our culture. While we wouldn’t expect to be grateful for suffering (as that would necessitate a change to the word’s definition) we can be grateful for our endurance of it. Barry talks us through this maxim with material, spiritual, social, and aesthetic examples to […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 8 | Episode 234

January 14, 2026 • 48 mins
Barry altered the wording of this maxim from previous presentations because he realized it was too easy on himself! What used to be “brutal honesty” with others has changed to “brutal honesty” with self and this in fact, makes it easier for us to offer kindness to others. This altered mindset places us square on […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 7 | Episode 233

January 7, 2026 • 47 mins
Barry covers our seventh maxim, which encourages us to consider two questions in a particular order before we decide on an action. Honoring this order for these particular questions is especially important in two situations: 1) when faced with decisions in our pragmatic culture, and 2) when suffering enters the picture.     Scriptures: Prov […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 6 | Episode 232

December 31, 2025 • 48 mins
Barry heads toward our sixth maxim, focused on change. At the beginning of the year, it is common to make some new year’s resolutions. In this episode, Barry urges us to direct our changes toward a target, in community, in faith, and even in our origin.     Scriptures: Rom 3:20 Eph 2:8-11, 4:11-16 Phil […]

Mary Christmas | Episode 231

December 24, 2025 • 46 mins
Barry focuses in on Mary’s Magnificat along with the importance of her faith and obedience. He acknowledges that for many denominations, Mary is sometimes overlooked or downplayed—pushed to the side—rather than seen at the center of the stage where she stands in the text, exemplifying women throughout Israel’s and the church’s story.     Scriptures: […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 5 | Episode 230

December 17, 2025 • 41 mins
Barry heads into the 5th commandment. This one is an especially tricky one, the opposite of which seeps into our lives at every turn. How can we begin to fight back against our sinful nature? We can start by having the highest regard for the person in the world we know to be the most […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 4 | Episode 229

December 10, 2025 • 45 mins
Barry arrives at the fourth maxim, which battles it out with our culture every single day—being a follower. In God’s command to honor one’s parents, he provided a method of training us to be ready to honor others for the rest of our lives.     Scriptures: Ex 20:12 Matt 16:24, 19:18-19 1 Cor 11:1 […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 3 | Episode 228

December 3, 2025 • 49 mins
Barry connects our third maxim to the Sabbath commandment, reminding us that on the seventh day God created nothing material; instead creating a space every week for us to value all things correctly. It is an invitation for us to consider more carefully what’s really real.     Book: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section […]

An Order for Thanksgiving | Episode 227

November 26, 2025 • 45 mins
Psalm 104 reminds us of at least two more things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week. Time and order display God’s faithfulness to those he loves. He continues to engage with his creation moment by moment, evincing that he walks among us now toward a future where all will be made right. Scriptures: Ps […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 2 | Episode 226

November 19, 2025 • 49 mins
Barry is back to the essentials in the 10 maxims series. This time, it’s about the sanctity of human life, and the fact that is intrinsic to bearing the image of God. He challenges us with this statement: If all we mean by the value of human life is the importance of not taking it, […]

10 Commandments (Not Those): Part 1 | Episode 225

November 12, 2025 • 48 mins
Barry begins a new series covering 10 maxims that he believes are essential to the Christian faith. These “commandments” are not those 10 commandments, but they are aligned with them and remind us that these truths will last even when we do not. Number 1: The Lord is as important as we are not.   […]

The Bandwagon to Nowhere | Episode 224

November 5, 2025 • 50 mins
Barry talks about some of the challenges with populism and a two-party system. He provides a curious example of how, in some instances in populist movements, because of a two-party system, the minority can actually rule the majority. His conclusion? If we value freedom then we have to value it for everyone, even the ones […]

A Good Job | Episode 223

October 29, 2025 • 49 mins
As promised, Barry provides a reflection on the book of Job. While we often think the book focuses on the righteousness and sovereignty of God, he suggests that mercy is the central point to the story. God’s answer to evil’s problem has always been mercy. The mercy of Job is his righteousness.       […]

Job’s Psalm (Might as Well Be) | Episode 222

October 22, 2025 • 46 mins
Barry walks us through Psalm 101, a psalm with parallelistic properties that points out a daunting fact: a sure way to be excluded from God’s house is to treat other people badly. This is likely why God found Job so blameless. Job practices what his friends did not: mercy.   Scriptures: Psalm 101 Matt 5, […]

Under-Controlled | Episode 221

October 15, 2025 • 50 mins
Barry talks about the crowded intersection of risk, control, and faith. In the moments we encounter problems, does empiricism or rationalism provide a better traffic controller? He answers that question, all the while pointing us back to the one who made both the intersection and the drivers.

Profile of a Priest | Episode 220

October 8, 2025 • 44 mins
Barry begins the conversation about Psalm 99 by reminding us about the stories of a few great leaders in Israel. These figures write a script for us with rejection and intercession—perhaps not the most cheerful invitation, but without doubt the most Messianic.   Scriptures: Ps 99 Ex 17:4, 32:31-32 Num 16:3, 45-48 1 Sam 8:4-8, […]

The Self-ish: Part 3 | Episode 219

October 1, 2025 • 41 mins
Barry finishes his series about the development of the self in the context of community. This episode of the series focuses on application and invites us to three important aspects of our walk of faith: humility, repentance, and self-doubt.     Scriptures: Rom 2:15-16 Ps 19:12-13 1 Kings 17-19

The Self-ish: Part 2 | Episode 218

September 24, 2025 • 44 mins
Barry continues his series about the development of psychological and forensic guilt in the self—a process that inevitably occurs within a community. This, however, is a busy intersection indeed with individuals, communities, and the world at large all playing a part in the process. It is in the midst of this congestion we must try […]

The Self-ish: Part 1 | Episode 217

September 17, 2025 • 47 mins
Barry admits three things: he is not omniscient (first time for everything), he is an individualist, and he spends a lot of time pondering cultural ethics. From personal identity, to Scripture, to the Overton Window, a lot of things come into play when thinking through how we become who we are and what that says […]

The Message We Won’t Hear | Episode 216 

September 10, 2025 • 44 mins
Barry talks us through Psalm 96 and provides a fascinating contrast with a psalm in 1 Chronicles. God has all the Creator work experience necessary to also satisfy the job description of righteous Judge. And this is great news because it means vindication for us and hope for everyone.      Scriptures: Ps 96 Daniel […]
