Pondering Theologian

In this episode I share a reflection/sermon I gave on Palm Sunday 2022. It comes out of the Triumphal Entry account in Luke 19:28-44.

In this episode we look at the stories of Jesus healing the blind men in Mark and John, and examine the way that the two men reacted to their healing. 

In this episode, we look at John 18, with some help from James, and ask the question, are we portraying a character? 

Todays episode is inspired by a listener reaching out about the episode, "Lent aint a walk in the park" and challenging my interpretation of the Pharisees in Luke 13:31-35.  I hope you enjoy, and I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Todays episode continues to play off of the previous episodes idea of what love are we showing in our actions. We look a little closer however, at what it is that Jesus tells us to do and what the greatest commandments are.  Scriptural references are Hebrews 9:11-14, Mark 12:28-34, Psalm 119:1-8, Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and Leviticus 19:18. ( I generally used the ESV or CEB translations.)

In this episode I share thoughts I gave in a sermon around 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 for a service the 4th week of Lent 2022. I ask the question, do you reflect the Love of Christ? I share a story from my past and explore a little what it means to be a "new creation".

Todays episode is some thoughts from reading Matthew 7:1-14. It is in part some sort of continuation on the episode "Are they Evil?" I explore the question, is it our place to judge someone else' humanity and grace?

In this episode I examine the question, "do we know what we are talking about?" There are several ways to come at this question, in todays approach I find motivation from Job 38:1-7 & 34-41 as well as Mark 10:35-45. I hope you will join the conversation and lets talk about todays episode.

This episode, I share another Lenten message I gave the second week of Lent 2022. It comes out of the scripture in Luke 13:21-35. Listen and let me know your thoughts! Email me, ponderingtheologian@gmail.com or go over to IG and interact with me there. @ponderingtheologian

In this episode, I share a message I am giving at a Lenten service the second week of Lent 2022. Scriptural focus in Luke 22:34-22:6.

In this episode, we explore Postcard and Billboard Bible verses, as well as the short children's Bibles/stories. Why I have a problem with them, and why I think they can be more harmful than beneficial to the Christian Faith.

In this episode, we examine the notion of calling someone evil. As Christians is calling someone evil, something we can judge? Can we do this while loving out enemies? 

In this episode I give a little background into who I am and what the style of podcast I hope to create with you.
