Summer Special #1 -- N.T. Wright Intensive

We conclude our study of Chad Bird's Limping with God with a discussion of Jacob's last years in Egypt and the final blessings he gives Joseph's sons and then his own sons. We look at the blessing of Judah in particular, which doubles as a Messianic prophesy and discuss what Jacob might be thinking as he looks back on the events of his life and if he could glimpse how they would fit into God's long-range plan for human salvation.

Podcast 296 -- The Prodigal Family  Selections from Genesis 43, 45-46

Like all men, Jacob must deal will inevitable transitions that come with middle age, although for this patriarch, the pain will run deep. His beloved Rachel dies in childbirth, bearing him his 12th son. His father Isaac dies soon after. What follows is the devastating loss of his favorite son, Joseph, whom his brothers, out of jealousy and hatred, sold into slavery yet told Jacob he had been killed by a wild beast. We look at this well-known story from Jacob's perspective, and discuss the tragedy and grief for lives cut short and how men--and those who love them--should navigate the grieving process and general transitions of life.

Podcast 295 -- Grieving for a Buried Future Genesis 35:16-27; 37:1-35

We come to a story of bloody vengeance. Shechem, son of Hamor, kidnaps and rapes Dinah, Jacob’s daughter by Leah. Three days later, Jacob's sons Simeon and Levi slaughter all the men of the city and take Dinah back. The other sons follow and loot what's left. We’ve all heard the criticism from non-Christians: “What sort of God allows wholesale slaughter?” And Christians would rather look past some of the more violent episodes in the Old Testament. We don't. What went wrong here? What are the takeaways for believers in contemporary times? We also look at some of the places Jacob's story takes us, like Bethel and Shechem, and how they tend to recur throughout the Bible.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Podcast 294 -- Whose Honor?  Genesis 34-35

We unpack one of the strangest yet most colorful episodes in the Bible—Jacob’s all-night wrestling match with God, who takes on a proto-incarnate form. The encounter will permanently change Jacob, who emerges with a new name—Israel—and a limp to serve as a reminder of the contest. We look at both the literal narrative as well as how it symbolically reflects our own lifelong wrestling with the Lord.

Podcast 293 -- A Dust-Up with God  Genesis 32-33

If you thought Jacob was a piece of work, wait ‘til you meet his Uncle Laban. We look at the 20 years Jacob spends working for his mother’s brother, who cheats and exploits him every chance he gets. Over time, however, Jacob gains both family and wealth, as well as knowledge through hardship. All men deal with career and family struggles at points in their lives.

Podcast 292 -- Jacob's Fruitful Winter  Genesis 29-31

Jacob's dream-vision has inspired artists and songwriters for centuries. We examine the symbolism of the dream and what it tells--and foretells--us about God. In the context of Jacob's story, we discuss how it marks the beginning of a gradual change in the patriarch's relationship with God, who will make new demands of him. When stealing Esau's birthright and blessing, should Jacob have been more careful about what he was asking for? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Podcast 291 -- Stairway to Heaven  Genesis 28:10-21

Jacob steals his brother Esau's birthright and later, his father's blessing. Yet how complicit is Esau in this? How gullible was Isaac? We examine the dysfunction in Isaac's household, where resentments fester, favorites are chosen and used against each other, and to what degree, if any, this was part of a greater divine plan. Do scholars try too hard to justify Jacob's duplicity? Are they too rough on Esau? We also debate whether the long life spans of the patriarchs are literally true, or mythologized to make a point.Follow along with us.

Man Up Podcast 53 Fight for a Strong Faith and Win!

Matters reach a climax as David faces a tragic dilemma: survival of his son or survival of his kingdom. Although we sympathize with David, we look at how he was the author of his own pain. Also, why is Joab traditionally considered the villain of this piece? He just saw 20,000 men die and faced a choice to either indulge a monarch’s wishful thinking or do what was necessary to end a civil war. We think he “manned up.” What do you think? Listen, like and comment. With us this week: Robert Cocheu ("The Professor"), Kyle Trahan (“The Deacon”) Steve Titch ("The Gambler") and Mike Cropper (“The Judge). Bill Cox (“The Director”) hosts.

We talk about how the Cross of Christ reconciles each of us to God and God to creation. Bill is moved by Paul’s imagery of our reborn selves. Mike talks about the believer’s job to assist in building the new Kingdom. And is Col 1:20 a case for Universalism? Or does salvation depend on individual acceptance of grace? And in this Christmas season, we all address the idea of staying open to Spirit-led hope in a world filled with negativity.
