Logic of God

Send us Fan Mail Exodus Chapter 7 opens one of the most familiar sections of Scripture, yet it begins in a place many readers overlook. Before the Nile turns to blood or Egypt is struck by devastating plagues, God answers Pharaoh's challenge from Exodus 5: "Who is the LORD?" Rather than beginning with judgment alone, God first establishes His authority, commissions Moses as His repr...

Send us Fan Mail Exodus Chapter 6 follows immediately after Moses' lowest moment. After accusing God of bringing greater suffering upon Israel, Moses receives an unexpected response—not judgment, but reassurance. Rather than abandoning His servant, God reminds Moses of His covenant, His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the certainty that Israel's redemption is about to unfold....

Send us Fan Mail Exodus 5 begins with one of the most recognizable moments in Scripture, yet the story is far different than many Christians remember. Moses and Aaron stand before Pharaoh and deliver God's message, but instead of immediate deliverance, Israel's situation becomes dramatically worse. Pharaoh responds with a question that will shape the rest of the Exodus narrative: “Who is...

Send us Fan Mail Just when Moses finally agrees to obey God's calling, Exodus takes an unexpected and deeply unsettling turn. On the journey back to Egypt, the Lord suddenly seeks to kill the very man He has chosen to deliver Israel. The encounter is brief, mysterious, and has puzzled readers for thousands of years. In Part 2 of Exodus 4, we wrestle with one of the most difficult passages in...

Send us Fan Mail Moses has encountered God at the burning bush, but receiving a calling is not the same as accepting it. In Exodus 4, Moses begins offering excuse after excuse for why he is the wrong person for the task, revealing fears and insecurities that feel surprisingly familiar to modern readers. In Part 1 of this study, we examine the signs God gives Moses, including the staff that becomes...

Send us Fan Mail Part 2 of our Exodus 3 study continues beyond the familiar Sunday school version of the burning bush and into the tension-filled conversation between God and Moses. Rather than eagerly accepting his calling, Moses resists. He questions God’s plan, his own qualifications, his authority, and even the likelihood that Israel will listen to him at all. In many ways, Moses becomes a mir...

Send us Fan Mail In Exodus 3, Moses encounters the burning bush, but this story is far stranger, deeper, and more confrontational than the version most Christians inherited from Sunday school retellings. The fire does not consume the bush. The Angel of Yahweh speaks as God Himself. Holy ground appears in the middle of the wilderness. And Moses is forced to confront the terrifying reality that the...

Send us Fan Mail Exodus 2 continues to unfold as far more than the setup for Moses’ story. In this second part, we move deeper into the themes of exile, identity, suffering, and divine preparation that shape both Moses and the future of Israel. We explore Moses’ flight into Midian after killing the Egyptian and wrestle with the tension of his actions: was Moses acting in sinful rage, premature del...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we follow the birth, rescue, exile, and transformation of Moses while challenging many of the assumptions modern Christians often bring into the text. Rather than approaching Moses through the lens of popular films, children’s stories, or simplified Protestant retellings, we examine Exodus 2 within its ancient Near Eastern and biblical context — asking what the or...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we begin Exodus by stepping past the familiar Sunday school version and asking what the text is actually doing. Exodus 1 is not just a setup for Moses. It is a story about memory, empire, fertility, forgotten legacies, spiritual conflict, and the dangerous comfort of inherited assumptions. We look at Israel’s multiplication in Egypt, Pharaoh’s fear, and why oppres...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Matthew Bates for a conversation about gospel, allegiance, grace, and what it means to confess Jesus not simply as Savior, but as King. We talk about the royal framework of the gospel, why “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name, and how faith in the New Testament carries the weight of loyalty, fidelity, and embodied allegiance. Dr. Bates helps us th...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we close out the Didache with chapter 16 and turn our attention to the end of all things. What begins as a reflection on transition quickly becomes something much deeper. As life shifts around us, the final chapter of the Didache meets us with its call to vigilance, endurance, and faithfulness in the last days. We talk about what it means to keep watch over your l...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we move into Didache chapter 15 and wrestle with one of the most uncomfortable questions in the life of the church: who should actually lead, and why. This is a conversation about bishops, deacons, prophets, teachers, authority, humility, and the terrifying weight of being trusted to shape other people’s faith. We talk through the Didache’s call to appoint leaders...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we turn to Didache chapter 14 and encounter a command that cuts deeper than ritual and presses into the heart of worship itself. Gather together. Break bread. Give thanks. But first, be reconciled. The Didache refuses to separate communion from confession or worship from right relationship. We walk through the text and its insistence that offering anything to God...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we step into Didache chapter 13 and wrestle with one of the most uncomfortable and revealing questions in the life of faith. What does it actually mean to give? Not casually. Not conveniently. But as an act of worship that costs something. The Didache calls believers to offer their first fruits, not just of money, but of everything. Food, possessions, resources, a...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we step into Didache chapter 12 and confront a tension most believers would rather avoid. Hospitality is not optional. It is commanded. But neither is discernment. And the line between generosity and enabling is thinner than most are willing to admit. The Didache lays it out without softening the edges. Receive those who come in the name of the Lord. Help them. Fe...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we turn to Didache chapter 11 and enter one of the most searching questions in the life of the Church: how do believers discern true teachers, apostles, and prophets from those who only wear the appearance of spiritual authority? This chapter does not treat discernment as optional. It treats it as a matter of life, death, hospitality, obedience, and spiritual matu...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we step into one of the most sacred and debated practices in Christian history by examining Didache chapters 9 and 10 and the early Church’s teaching on the Eucharist. Often called communion or the Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist was not treated by the earliest Christians as a routine ritual. It was thanksgiving, remembrance, sacrifice, and communion with God woven t...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we return to Didache chapter 8 and continue into its teaching on prayer. The Didache does not treat prayer as performance, personality, or religious scripting meant to impress people. It treats prayer as a discipline that exposes what is real, retrains the heart, and re-centers the believer on God’s kingdom rather than personal control. We walk through the Lord’s...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we move into Didache chapter 8 and confront a discipline the modern church often sidelines: fasting. The Didache does not present fasting as spiritual cosplay or an optional upgrade for the unusually devoted. It treats it as an ordinary rhythm of Christian life, a practiced resistance against imitation religion, and a training ground for loyalty when obedience cos...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we turn to Didache chapter 7 and step into one of the most debated and misunderstood practices in Christian history: baptism. The early Church does not treat baptism as a casual ritual or a mechanical transaction. It treats it as covenantal allegiance. After teaching the Way of Life and the Way of Death, only then does the Didache speak of baptism. Why does format...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we continue our reading of Didache chapters 5 and 6 and press deeper into what the text calls the Way of Death, not as a fear tactic, but as a diagnostic. The Didache does not treat sin as isolated mistakes. It treats it as a divided allegiance that slowly reshapes desire, speech, priorities, and worship. Before we return to the text, we share what is unfolding in...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we begin our examination of chapters 5 and 6 of the Didache, where the text turns sharply from formation into warning and names what it calls The Way of Death. This is not a philosophical category or a list of abstract evils. It is a lived path, marked by habits, dispositions, and unchecked desires that slowly pull a person and a community away from God. We walk t...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we continue through chapters 1 through 4 of the Didache, pressing deeper into what the early Church called The Way of Life. The text moves beyond broad moral commands and into the daily posture of discipleship, where humility, obedience, and community accountability become central to following Christ. This is not aspirational ethics. It is formation through restra...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we begin a full series through the Didache, one of the earliest Christian discipleship texts, by focusing on chapters 1 through 4, known as The Way of Life. Written for new believers on the edge of the apostolic age, the Didache does not open with doctrine or debate. It opens with a path. A way to walk. A life to be formed. We explore how The Way of Life is built...
