The subtitle of Carl Trueman's latest book speaks volumes: "How the rejection of God degrades our humanity." As society has moved further and further away from a broadly accepted concept of God in the post-Enlightenment era, there have been more knock-on effects than perhaps anyone anticipated. The idea is simple: when you remove God from the picture, everything else starts to unravel. Pastor Erik Janke joins Jared and Scott to discuss Trueman's latest foray into diagnosing the current cultur...

One could read the book as a challenge to Christians throughout time: this is the mission of the Church, and now it's your turn. Pastor Joseph Neuberger joins Jared and Scott to discuss NT Wright's work on The Challenge of Acts. The Shepherd’s Study podcast is produced by Grow in Grace to help pastors grow in the art and practice of pas...
Jacob, son of Isaac: Hero of Faith, or Perpetual Screw-Up? As one of the Patriarchs, Jacob is used in the Bible and in Luther's writing as a "Hall of Faith" member and forefather to look up to. As you read and re-read his account in Scripture, though, you see a picture of a man who struggled, failed, and had to be picked up time and again. There's no need to create a false dichotomy, though. The heroes of the Bible are called such not because of their greatness, but because of the greatness o...
