The Hidden Jesus & Why Polite Christianity Is Poison | Chad Bird
Description
Why do we need raw, untamed prayers instead of polite, polished ones — and what happens when the Psalms finally give us permission to scream “How long, O Lord?” from the depths of our heart?
In this conversation with Chad Bird we explore why the Psalms are the most honest prayer book the church has ever had, how Jesus has been walking through the Old Testament, the danger of turning Scripture into a rulebook, the healing power of lament in a toxic-positivity culture, and why seeing Christ in the Old Testament is the antidote to both pride and despair … and much more.
Chad Bird is a theologian and author who has spent his life helping modern Christians find Christ in the first two-thirds of their Bibles. He is a Scholar in Residence at 1517 and has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew.
