1. Daniel and Erick start Paul’s letter to the Philippians in this episode. To live is Christ, to die is gain, and some suffering is a gift.
  2. The promise made to Abraham is for the whole world but neither the world nor Israel believe it.
  3. Daniel and Erick wrap up 2nd Peter. Jesus seems to be taking His time coming again. Why does God’s “soon” take so long?
  4. The Thinking Fellows ask the question, what is the Bible?
  5. There are a lot of ways to become accursed. And we see just how accursed and sinful Christ had to become.
  6. Peter freaks out on false teachers but argues that the atonement is for the very worst of heretics.
  7. Why are Israelites told to say, “my father was a wandering Aramean” and why is it significant?
  8. Sometimes life is hard and seems unbearable. How could someone actually rejoice in suffering?    The Apostle Paul writes to us in Romans 5:3 "...we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Join Craig and Troy as they talk about suffering and character.   
  9. Daniel and Erick begin 2 Peter in this episode. They spend some time discussing some of the controversy around this book and how to engage with it.
  10. God puts some interesting laws in place regarding the first year of marriage, loaning money, kidnapping, and skin conditions.
  11. Daniel and Erick wrap up the 1 Peter in this episode. There is some discussion about ecclesiology and why Peter calls himself an elder.
  12. Mike is joined for the first time in a long time by Wade (it's not clear how Mike feels about this). The two sit down in the middle of summer 2019 to discuss the importance of reading widely for both the laity and for pastors.
