How do we talk to people who are scared because of the Supreme Court's ruling? How do we have conversations with people who disagree with us on such a polarizing subject?

Even better than a Biblical Philosopher is a Biblical Exegetist! Our hosts, Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell, interview Chad M. Mansbridge about his new book, https://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Handle-Truth-Making-ebook/dp/B09DWG7HZR/ref=sr_1_2?crid=328T85TFJ5OV5&keywords=chad+mansbridge&qid=1660062287&sprefix=chad+mansbridge%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-2 ("You Can Handle the Truth").

Our Round Table has assembled once more! This time, host Joshua Noel asks Professor Chris Moreland and Christian Ashley when they believe it would be better for Christians to sit with people's hurt rather than argue with them. When should Christian leaders just listen? Can a Church be toxic? How do we get past the hurt caused by pastors in our churches? As the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against Roe v Wade, many people are scared of the future - should Church leaders brag bout a victory in politics or should we try to be there for those who are afraid? What states will ban abortion? How do we love those who we disagree with over these topics? How do we love those who lash out against the Church because of their past experiences?

Back to our "https://player.captivate.fm/collection/e4633d53-48a7-4966-9c63-bf8243a2e3a2 (Dividing Scriptures)" series with the Book of Job and how the word "ha satan" has been translated throughout history!

Who was speaking to Job in Job 33? What was the context of Job 33:22? Was "ha satan" the devil, an evil imagination, a symbolic character, or a member of God's divine council? Did Job fear the Lord? Was the book of Job literal? Is Job and Jobab the same person? Does the Church blame the devil too much? We continue talking about Church unity as we examine different views of Satan in the book of Job. Christian unity is important year-round, not just for the Christian week of prayer!
