After Class Podcast

Do not steal. Simple enough, right? But what if stealing meant feeding your family? Surely that is understandable… But what if you lived in a community where you never had to steal in the first place?  When it comes to theft, God's people are called to a higher standard—not only in how we treat what belongs to others, but also in how we uphold justice in our communities. Tune in to today's episode to hear how the cultural idiom "finders keepers" is at odds with God's kingdom ethic, and how the rich may actually steal more from the poor than Robin Hood would have you think!

Tune in to today's episode to hear the guys discuss how deeply the commandment not to bear false witness goes and how to apply it to our lives today.

God has given you everything you need, and He is all you need. If you said "Amen," then why do you covet? The Ten Commandments are more than a generic law code that anyone can live by. They are the reference point to a wider, set-apart way of life, and that set-apartness comes with a few rules on how to conduct oneself in a new identity as a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.  Today, the guys begin their new series unpacking the Ten Commandments, beginning with coveting. Tune in to hear how pervasive and destructive this seemingly simple attitude can be.  Because the best conversations happen after class!

How do we present the very political biblical worldview without doing it in a worldly political way? Do Moses, Joseph, Daniel and company, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther prove that Christians should seek top political positions to influence policy? Does God call us to be on the right or the left of the political aisle? What level of involvement with the governing authorities is appropriate?  Today, the guys answer listener questions regarding how Christians should relate to governing authorities as they wrap up the series. Are you okay to have no say? Tune in today to find out, because the best conversations happen, After Class! 

Do you believe Christians should control the outcome of political and state decisions? Should Christians fear governing authorities? How do Christians engage and interact with the wider political culture and the powers of the age?
