In this episode, Nate talks with Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt about the connection between attachment theory and the most widely used metaphor in the Psalms.Nate and Ben unpack the concept of God as a refuge and its parallels with secure attachment. The Psalms unveil a portrait of God as a safe haven and a secure base, concepts so vital to our growth and sense of safety. Moreover, the linguistic shift from addressing God as "he" to "you" in places like Psalm 23 speaks to a deepening relationship that offers the same comfort and safety as a child finds in a parent's embrace.The discussion digs into the intersections of theology, psychology, and neuroscience as we prepare the ground for the "Summer in the Psalms" series. We reflect on our own personal journeys and the paths that have led us here, and hope to pave the way for a summer of reflection, connection, and growth through the lens of secure attachment and the Psalms.
In this episode, Nate discusses with Dr Michael Allen how we should approach reading Leviticus in our M'Cheyne Bible Reading plan. With Mike's guidance, we delve into the Levitical sacrificial system and its reflection in today's Christian worship. Navigating the application of Leviticus's ancient laws to the complexities of today's world, we seek to capture the essence of its teachings. From economic justice to sexual ethics, Dr. Allen assists us in understanding the enduring principles of Leviticus while discerning God's logic in commanding total devotion. This episode invites you to reflect on how these sacred texts shape our relationships and guide our worship, offering a mix of historical context and practical application for a faith that seeks to follow Jesus in all of life.

In this episode, Nate provides an update about the state of the podcast going into March.

In Nehemiah we see commentary on Abraham's story in Genesis that we read earlier this month. In Acts 22-23, we see Paul offering commentary on his own Damascus road experience from chapter 9. The Bible really is the first hyper-linked text and reading multiple chapters a day from different parts of it allows us to see that more clearly.
In this episode, Nate Claiborne discusses Question 3 from the New City Catechism:How many persons are there in God?There are three persons in the one true and living God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God is able to bridge the divide between Creator and his creatures and enter into relationships with not just people like Abraham and Sarah, but people like you and me as well.
In this episode, Nate and Ben discuss New City Catechism Question 2:What is God?God is the creator and sustainer of everyone and everything.
