Metaverse Church & the Necessity of the Body

https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Py4HL7svTwvpP3gT2eVk0?si=_cUWDwSwRXyt_KDgURaLRg Last month I wrote an article called Livestreaming, Metaverse Services, & the Dangers of Digital Gnosticism & Transhumanism (catchy, right?). In that post, I argued that we can rightly rejoice in the technology that makes livestreaming possible, but we must also keep in mind that it does not replace the physical gathering of God’s …

Being Authentic Isn’t Good Enough

https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Pl3voGVXP5rbDY5ypHLlE?si=BlrxNQczSKalbFPKlSOzWg It is no secret that many today hunger for authenticity. And that really shouldn’t come as surprise. Photoshop, deepfakes, and curated social media profiles don’t exactly strengthen the bonds of societal trust. Indeed, I question whether authenticity is even possible on social media particularly.

Bridegroom of Blood | Exodus 4:18-31

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-4CBgC3O4Q&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=5 Although this passage can be easily overlooked as a necessary interlude between God's appearance to Moses and the showdown with Pharaoh, what we find is a rich picture of Moses' first faltering steps of obedience and much foreshadowing of the wonders yet to come. The theme that ties these passages together is Moses' long-awaited …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B-JZXc0O28&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=4 The text before us is a direct continuation of what we studied last week.

The Counsel of the Wicked | Psalm 1:1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynkeBL6mZR4&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSSncw8nqaiXGsZ48t3cCywW&index=5 who walks not in the counsel of the wicked… Psalm 1:1 ESV Last week we began our meditations through Psalm 1 by focusing upon the very first phrase, “Blessed is the man…” As we noted, blessedness in the Bible flows from being favored by the Blessed One. Thus, to be blessed is a state …
