The Foreign Saint's Podcast

When people are denying Jesus there is some level of intellectual dishonesty going on and in conversations with people who do that it can feel like you're playing a dumb game. The priesthood in Jesus's day were experts in this dumb game of "denying what's obvious and in your face." In this episode you'll learn how to deal with people that play this dumb game along with an...

This phrase "the first will be last and the last first" is one of those phrases that people seem to regularly define without giving hard and fast scripture references.

Is biological sex in humans a binary? What does the data say about gender affirming care techniques such as social transition, hormone therapies, and sex re-assignment surgeries? I dip into my respiratory therapists bag for a bit to speak on the sexual dimorphism of lung volumes and then take a deep dive into 2 meta-analyses by the American College of Pediatricians. This is a thinking-cap kind epi...

Elders, deacons, teachers, and other leaders abusing their flocks sexually, financially, etc, has become a common story in our culture and many are wondering why it's so difficult to stop. I think it stems back to not following what Jesus said in Matthew 18. Jesus gave us a formula that, if used, would prevent so much tragedy before it occured. It's the formula for ex-communication and fin...

1 slave, 1 slaveowner, and 1 Gospel to unite them both! Paul's letter to Christian slaveowner Philemon shows Paul applying the virtue ethic of Jesus to a slave-master relationship within the church. God has begun creating his new humanity who won't practice slavery, but, love their neighbors instead. Instead of assuming you know what Paul believes and attacking straw-men I invite you to re...

Did Jesus or his apostles ever condemn slavery? The answer to that question, contrary to popular belief, is actually a yes. St. K explores how God's virtue ethic, made clear through Jesus, condemns slavery quite easily as a consequence. Afterwards, the teachings of the New Testament are put under a microscope to see and understand why Paul, who condemns slavery clearly in 1 Timothy 1:3-11, wou...

Too many Christians are rattled by the slavery verses in the bible and some have even left the faith over misunderstanding God's plan to use slavery to end slavery.

The first of two holiday meditations this year. I wanted to encourage Christians that may have had some difficult gospel conversations over the past few days that God is still with you.
