1. Just My Imagination. In this episode, we read Eugene Peterson’s book, Under the Unpredictable Plant, and discuss theological imagination at length. What are the consequences when the church takes its cues from a culture with no imagination? Can Christians tell biblical stories without a theological imagination? What happens when the earthly and heavenly are divided by a lack of imagination into merely rationalized explanations?
  2. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the gospel reading for Maundy Thursday.
  3. In difficult times, we can take comfort in the knowledge that Christ has defeated death forever, that His name will be confessed as Lord by the whole world, and we will be with Him, because of His great love.
  4. Plug In, Baby. In this episode, we read St. Ambrose’s work, On the Mysteries, enjoying his exegesis and defense of the body and blood of Jesus. We also discuss recognizing patterns in the Bible, testing the spirits who want to separate out the heavenly from the earthly, and the importance of symbol and meaning for Christian comfort.
  5. In this first of 2 episodes on Psalm 135 Chad talks about our plenteous supply of other gods, and meditates on how the God aboves all gods cares for us.
  6. Verses 1 and 2 kind of say it all; O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me
  7. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.
