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! We discuss the opinions of Church fathers and theologians from "The Testament of Job" to Thomas Aquinas to John Calvin and even C.S. Lewis! Where did Job live in the book of Job? 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!

We have Old Testament scholar from Yale university, Tremper Longman III, join us once again!

Is Revelation wisdom, prophetic, or apocalyptic literature - or was it just 7 letters? What was Leviathan in the Bible? Is Leviathan in the Bible a dragon? Why suffering should be faced joyfully for the Christian? What is the main message of revelation? How does Isaiah - Prophet inform our understanding of the sea beast of Revelation?

We are back with another discussion with The Whole Church Round Table! We have gathered leaders from all kinds of different traditions and denominations in the Church to discuss the problems the Church is facing today, together! Today we address questions like, What is a Church hurt? Does the Church cultivate a culture of abuse or of love? How do you heal when you've been hurt by the church? How do you know when you should leave a church? What is religious trauma? What does the Bible say about Church hurt? What is spiritual abuse? How do you address spiritual abuse? Why are women often both the victim and the one to blame for sexual abuse in the Church? Is it the responsibility of women to be more modest, or is the responsibility of men to act more decent? We talk through examples like why so many Megachurches end with stories of spiritual abuse or Church hurt. What have we learned from the Hillsong Megachurch exposed? What did the southern baptist church sexual abuse report teach us? What is the southe

We ask a very big question in this episode - should we have denominations at all? Your co-host Joshua Noel interviews Joe Dea of Buddywalk with Jesus about his testimony and his beliefs on denominational thinking. We discuss whether we should all ascribe to Nondenominational Christianity or whether there is any merit to denominations in the whole Church. If you have ever wondered what are denominations in Christianity or why they happen, then this is a great starting point for that discussion with two different perspectives here.

Dr Sam Rainer joins us this week for a special episode where we ask him all about his ministries - Church Answers, EST. - For the Established Church Podcast, and his newest book, "https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=pa_sp_atf_aps_sr_pg1_1?ie=UTF8&adId=A041873713N1BF6WO6BRO&url=%2FChurch-Revitalization-Checklist-Practical-Congregation-ebook%2Fdp%2FB097Q7RH1B%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1_sspa%3Fcrid%3DP64O7HYRANW5%26keywords%3Dsam%2Brainer%26qid%3D1652952635%26sprefix%3Dsam%2Brainer%252Caps%252C131%26sr%3D8-1-spons%26psc%3D1&qualifier=1652952635&id=467742932362362&widgetName=sp_atf (The Church Revitalization Checklist)".

Gregory Coles, author of "Single, Gay Christian" joins us to discuss his testimony and whether or not he believes there can be Christian unity between those who disagree over the matter of same-sex marriages. He discusses his call into singleness and we ask about his take on gay-affirming arguments in the Church. We discuss both the strengths and weaknesses in Matthew Vine's affirming argument in his book, "God and the Gay Christian". Whether one believes that anyone who is saved needs to be straight or have their orientation changed, or if they believe the Bible affirms same-sex relationships, or if they believe that acting on attraction of the same-sex is sinful and choose to be single - can we agree to disagree? .

Today we are talking about the deconstruction and ex-vangelical movements in the modern Church .

Our guests today are Brandon Knight of "My Seminary Life", Joe Dea of "Buddy Walk with Jesus", and Pastor Will Rose of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Chapel Hill, NC.

This is part 7 of 8 in our Church Offices series! We are talking about the office of the elder and what it means to be an elder. We learn many Churches define elder and pastor the same, some Churches ordain elders while others do not, some believe elder is its own position, and others believe these are simply men and women we respect in the Word. How we define this office and understand how others define elders could bring huge implications for Church unity. Is a Church board the same as a plurality of elders? Can elders fill in for the pastor? Should we use this term at all? .
