At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss.

As we listen to another episode from the archives, we'll explore the concept of natural law – a topic with deep roots in Christian and non-Christian traditions. When this first of 3 episodes aired several years ago, Drs. Marcus Mininger, J.

In this final episode of 2024, Dr. J. Mark Beach continues his exploration of John Calvin's insights on the Christian life and, more particularly, the concept of self-denial. Drawing from Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, Dr. Beach unpacks what it truly means to deny oneself—both in relation to our neighbors and to God. Calvin presents a challenging vision of Christian living: a life marked by humility, love, and a radical reorientation away from self-centeredness. How do we esteem others above ourselves? What does it mean to resign our possessions and will to God's purpose? Dr. Beach guides us through Calvin's theological landscape, offering rich insights into taking up our cross and finding grace in our human frailty.…
In this episode, Dr. J. Mark Beach joins us to unpack John Calvin's insights on the essence of the Christian life from his seminal work, the Institutes of the Christian Religion.

Calvin's teachings remind us that the Christian life is not about perfection but about continuous surrender, loving righteousness, and conforming ourselves to Christ's image. At the end of the day, we'll learn what it means to truly deny ourselves and live not for our own interests, but for God's glory.…

In this episode, Dr. Mininger continues his examination of the Book of Hebrews and its historical context, specifically addressing the ongoing debate about whether it was written before or after 70 AD. But more importantly, he'll discuss why this question, while interesting, might not be as crucial as some interpreters suggest.…
In this episode, we'll be continuing our discussion on the preterist interpretation of the book of Hebrews. Last time, we looked at some evidence from Hebrews related to the persecution of Christians and how that might suggest the book was written before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD. Today, we're going to dig deeper into the text of Hebrews itself, examining whether the author's descriptions of the temple sacrificial system indicate it was still ongoing at the time of writing. Professor of New Testament Studies, Dr. Marcus Mininger, will walk us through some of the key passages in Hebrews and the nuances of the Greek language that shed light on the timing of when this epistle was composed. He'll weigh the evidence and consider how much this dating question really matters for how we interpret the message and theology of Hebrews.…
This session of our 2024 Fall Evening Class focuses on examining the call of Ezekiel as a "priestly prophet" in chapters 2-3 of the Book of Ezekiel. Dr. Andrew Compton explores several key segments of Ezekiel's calling, including the "I am sending you" speech (Chapter 2:1-8), a vision of a scroll containing words of lamentation that Ezekiel has to eat (2:9-3:3), the "therefore go" speech (3:4-11), and Ezekiel's commission as a watchman (3:16-27). He highlights interesting elements like the irony of Israel being called "nations" of rebels, the Hebrew wordplay around Ezekiel's name and the concept of "hardness," and how Ezekiel's role as a watchman shapes the structure of the entire book, with his mouth being shut during judgment messages (chapters 1-32) and opened during salvation messages (chapters 33-48).…
