What is a covenant, and why does it matter? In this episode, we explore the biblical idea of covenant and consider how theologians have defined this concept. We’ll see how covenant shapes our understanding of God’s relationship with His people, and how we can be eternally secure in Christ because of these covenants.

The goal of this episode is to consider Jesus’s teaching that we should depend on God for daily bread. Why is that at the core of Jesus’s prayer? Where did he get this imagery from? How do we live this out practically? Why does it feel so hard to live dependent upon his provision? We seek to find helpful ways to live in a state of faith-filled dependence on God that leads to an anxiety-free life of provision.

Join us as we wrestle with the "already but not yet" of faith and what it means for...

Should evangelism (sharing the gospel) be the top priority in the church’s mission, or just one important part among many? In other words, should evangelism take priority over social action, or are both evangelism and social action equal partners? In this episode, we are discussing what the mission of the church should be based on the article Should We Prioritize Evangelism in Missions?

Join us as we break down where these concepts come from and why understanding them is...
