In this episode, Tim and Mike continue the conversation about the complexities of biblical interpretation, exploring how various contexts—textual, cultural, and personal—shape our understanding of scripture. What does "biblical" really mean, and why does it matter in today's world? Mike and Tim explore the "world of the text," the cultural and historical contexts "behind the text," and the modern assumptions we bring "in front of the text." With humor, humility, and intellectual depth, they examine how varying social locations, traditions, and cultural frameworks shape our understanding of scripture, and how the Spirit of God works through it all. From discussing the challenges of "cruciformity" to navigating cultural issues like justice, faith, and the role of the church in society, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with the tension between timeless truths and modern interpretations. Drawing on examples like the parable of the prodigal son and the story of Ruth, they highlight the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and engaging diverse perspectives to faithfully live out the teachings of Jesus. How do we discern faithful readings of scripture in a world filled with self-defined "biblical" interpretations? Tune in to explore this nuanced conversation, and share your thoughts as we seek to grow together.

Discernment: Cruciformity is Active, Not Passive . On this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford focus on discernment in faith, the essence of Christian identity, and the importance of critiquing ideologies rather than individuals. They emphasize the need for community engagement and humanizing conversations across divides, particularly in the context of immigration and societal issues. Further, Tim and Mike explore the complexities of homelessness, systemic issues, and the role of faith in addressing societal challenges. They discuss the importance of understanding the root causes of homelessness, the church's responsibility in promoting human flourishing, and the significance of inclusivity at Jesus' table. The dialogue also delves into the church's political involvement, the concept of cruciformity, and the challenges of navigating emotional overload while advocating for justice. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for a Christ-like approach to engagement in the world.

1 The Corruption of Biblical Leadership (Cruciformity Series) 1:03:53
1:03:53 Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir Geliked1:03:53
Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedWhat does leadership shaped by the cross really look like in today’s church—and how far have we drifted from it? Mike and Tim continue the Cruciformity Series with a raw, revealing, and intensely personal reflection on their own experiences with American evangelical leadership culture. From megachurch strategy to influence-based platforms, they unpack how conventional models of “biblical leadership” often mirror corporate America more than Christ. This episode challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about success, authority, platform, and power, and proposes a radically different path: cruciform leadership, rooted in humility, weakness, and the relentless pursuit of others’ flourishing. Mike shares his personal struggle of unlearning old paradigms and embracing a leadership ethos shaped by Jesus’ downward trajectory from divinity to servanthood. It's a must-listen for pastors, churchgoers, and anyone navigating the tension between faithfulness and influence. Key Takeaways: • What is Cruciform Leadership? – How the biblical model of leadership centers on self-giving love and the surrender of privilege. • The Seduction of Success Metrics – Why growth, platform, and “effectiveness” are poor substitutes for faithfulness and Christlikeness. • From CEO to Servant – Reframing pastoral roles through surrender, not strategy. • Personal Confession and Reflection – Mike shares how his perspective changed after decades in the evangelical megachurch system. • Leadership Beyond the Church – Exploring how cruciformity applies in workplaces, families, and personal relationships. Quotes to Remember: • "Cruciform leadership isn’t about getting things done—it’s about delivering God’s love and grace into people’s lives, daily." • “You can run a church, a marriage, or a business using old creation power. But the gospel calls you to something new.” Resources Mentioned: • Tim Gombis – The Drama of Ephesians • Dallas Willard – Quotes on humility & leadership • Caitlin Schess interview – On platform vs. message • Book of Philippians 2 – The downward trajectory of Jesus • Mark Gombis’s Commentary on Mark Whether you’ve been hurt by church leadership, led within it, or simply want to grow as a follower of Jesus, this episode invites you to a deeper and more transformative way of thinking about influence, success, and faith.

1 Prophetic Resistance: Challenging the Status Quo (Cruciformity Series) 1:02:04
1:02:04 Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir Geliked1:02:04
Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedHow the church responds when Jesus is co-opted by political power, and what it means to faithfully resist using cruciform love. In this latest installment of the Exile Series, Mike and Tim explore recent headlines where government leaders invoke Christianity as a means to assert national identity and justify coercive policies. Rather than offering partisan critique, they unpack the deeper spiritual crisis at work—when the name of Jesus is taken in vain to baptize authoritarianism and cultural dominance. Rooted in Walter Brueggemann’s prophetic framework of “reality, grief, and hope,” Mike and Tim lead a passionate discussion around resisting empire the way Jesus did—through embodied love, not religious spectacle. They revisit core biblical ideas of the church living as exiles and dive deeply into the last days of Jesus' life—highlighting not just the fact that Jesus died on the cross, but how he lived and loved on it. From forgiveness to hospitality to non-retaliation, Jesus models a radical way of confronting evil with redemptive good. Key Takeaways: • Resisting Political Appropriation of Christianity – How invoking Jesus to justify state power is a modern form of taking the Lord’s name in vain. • Walter Brueggemann’s Prophetic Framework – “Reality, grief, and hope” as a lens to navigate our cultural moment and resist false ideologies. • Cruciformity as Active Resistance – Jesus didn’t just die for us—he loved, forgave, and restored while dying. This nonviolent, redemptive love becomes the pattern for Christian resistance. • Reordering Our Spheres – Why the private, social, and public spheres must be aligned in love and integrity, and why public outrage alone isn’t the answer. • The Church as a Community of Justice – A call to form communities that shelter the vulnerable, confront injustice, and embody the Sermon on the Mount in both small and subversive ways. Guest Highlights: No external guests—but powerful contributions from voices like Walter Brueggemann, Tim Gombis, and public figures such as Rev. William Barber and Shane Claiborne are discussed in the context of prophetic Christian witness. Resources Mentioned: • Reality, Grief, and Hope by Walter Brueggemann • Ephesians (particularly chapters 2-4) – Link • Voxology’s Exile Series Archive – voxologypodcast.com • Book: Resident Aliens by Hauerwas & Willimon • Book: The Patient Ferment of the Early Church by Alan Kreider Feeling overwhelmed by the cultural co-opting of Christianity?

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedHow reclaiming a teachable spirit can radically transform our faith, our churches, and our relationships with those we often see as “the other.” Mike and Tim welcome theologian, pastor, and author A.J. Swoboda to unpack his latest book, The Teachable Spirit: The Virtue of Learning from Strangers, Enemies, and Absolutely Anyone, as well as a powerful call for intellectual humility and curiosity within Christian community. Together, they explore why Christians should be the most curious people in the world—yet are often seen as some of the least teachable—and how engaging others (even those we vehemently disagree with) can be a deeply Christlike act of discipleship and hospitality. Key Takeaways: • The Cost of Curiosity – Why a teachable spirit is more important than ever in a polarized culture, and how refusing to learn keeps Christians stuck in cycles of fear and pride. • Learning from Enemies – How sitting at the feet of someone you disagree with can strengthen faith, not threaten it—and why it’s an essential posture for being salt and light in the world. • Intellectual Humility as a Spiritual Discipline – Understanding that learning doesn’t always mean agreeing, and that repentance and growth require letting go of certainty. • Babylon vs. Jerusalem – Applying Daniel’s exilic posture in a modern world where Christians often prioritize cultural dominance over Christlike witness. • Shame and the Fear of Not Knowing – A touching and honest reflection from A.J. on how vulnerability around what we don’t know (like his story about a screwdriver) can lead to deeper discipleship and spiritual maturity. Guest Highlights: A.J. Swoboda – Professor, pastor, and co-host of the Slow Theology podcast, A.J. brings humor, vulnerability, and a prophetic lens to what it means to be a learner in today’s world. His new book, The Teachable Spirit, challenges Christians to pursue curiosity as a virtue and to rediscover the joy of growing, even when it’s uncomfortable. Resources Mentioned: • A.J. Swoboda – The Teachable Spirit: The Virtue of Learning from Strangers, Enemies, and Absolutely Anyone • Slow Theology podcast (with Nijay Gupta) – Listen here • Rodney Stark – Writings on the sociology of early Christianity • Daniel 9 – Reflections on exile and living faithfully in Babylon • Upcoming Book Club – The Upside-Down Kingdom by Donald Kraybill (starts June 5) Let’s keep asking better questions and cultivating hearts that are open to correction, growth, and true wisdom.

1 Why Did Jesus Have to Die? Understanding the Wages of Sin and Sacrifice (Cruciformity Series) 1:03:02
1:03:02 Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir Geliked1:03:02
Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedUnpacking the deep narrative threads that make Jesus’s death not just inevitable, but essential to our human story, Mike and Tim dive into the costs of sin, how death is a consequence—not simply a punishment—and what Jesus’s crucifixion really reveals about God’s nature. This Good Friday reflection brings clarity to questions we’ve inherited or sidestepped: Why did Jesus have to die? Why that way? And what’s the deeper biblical thread connecting Eden, the tabernacle, and the cross? Follow this continuing journey through the Cruciformity Series as we reframe our view of atonement theology through the lens of relational, embodied love rather than transactional debt. This episode traces the arc from Genesis to Jesus, highlighting scripture’s subversive beauty and its world-building wisdom that invites us to reimagine what it means to live—and die—in union with Christ. Key Takeaways: • Death as Consequence, Not Retribution – Sin introduces decay, loss, and exile from creation’s eternal purpose. Jesus, in true solidarity, embraces that outcome fully. • The Bible's Moral Logic of Life and Death – From Eden through the temple system and culminating in Jesus, we’re always being invited to choose life. • Crucifixion and the Unmasking of Empire – Jesus’s nonviolent death at the hands of imperial power exposes the futility of violence and reveals the upside-down power of God’s kingdom. • Sacrificial Systems and Human Imagination – Why animal sacrifice wasn’t divine bloodlust, but a contextual, symbolic reminder of the corruption and gravity of sin. • Jesus Enters the Realm of Death to Open Eden – The torn temple curtain and the resurrection signify access to the tree of life has been restored—no longer guarded, but freely given. Resources Mentioned: • Genesis 1–3 – The foundational story of life, choice, and consequence. • 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – Paul’s “first importance” gospel creed, spotlighting Jesus’s death and resurrection. • Leviticus 17 – “Life is in the blood”—understanding why sacrifices pointed to something deeper. • Daniel 12 – A rare Old Testament glimpse of resurrection hope. • Philippians 2 (Kenosis Hymn) – Cruciformity and Jesus’s descent through obedience and suffering. • Rich Villodas (Twitter Reflection) – A poetic thread connecting Eden and the cross: Rich's post Dive further: • Catch up on past episodes in the Cruciformity Series for more foundational context. • Check out our past deep dives on Genesis and sacrificial systems in the “Being Human” series. Join the conversation and rediscover why Jesus’s death was not a cosmic transaction but the climactic expression of God’s love.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedHow does understanding the difference between what the Bible describes and what it prescribes shape the way we live, lead, and love today? Mike Erre and Tim Stafford kick off their new Christianity 101 Series with an in-depth—and often hilarious—conversation that lays the groundwork for how the Voxology community approaches Scripture, biblical authority, and spiritual formation. Responding to an Instagram post that claims “genocide, slavery, and sexual assault are all biblical,” Mike and Tim dismantle modern misuses of the word “biblical,” explore how cruciformity shapes biblical interpretation, and offer a counter-cultural vision for how the church can embody a radically different way of living. From Roman status systems to communion cups and Sunday merch, it’s all on the table in this deep dive into discipleship, Scripture, and what it means to follow Jesus today. Key Takeaways: • Prescriptive vs Descriptive Bible Reading – Why understanding the difference is crucial to avoid misapplying Scripture and perpetuating harm. • What “Biblical” Really Means – Challenging the misuse of “biblical manhood,” “biblical marriage,” and other theological buzzwords. • Cruciformity Explained – How Philippians 2 offers a vision for a cross-shaped (cruciform) life modeled after Jesus that subverts power, pursues justice, and levels privilege. • Christianity 101 Practices – Exploring baptism, communion, and solidarity with the poor as essential, identity-shaping communal practices of the early church. • How to Interpret Scripture – Considering fruitfulness, alignment with the person of Jesus, and whether an interpretation humbles the high and lifts up the low.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedHow a cruciform vision of faith challenges cultural Christianity obsessed with dominance, political power, and exclusion. Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and special guest Dr. Timothy Gombis kick off a new Cruciformity Series by wrestling with the relational and theological tensions between two distinctly different expressions of Christianity. They dive into Gombis’ definition of a cruciform (cross-shaped) life, the way Paul consistently connects theology to social justice, and what faithful biblical interpretation actually looks like in polarized times. This episode brings incisive insight and honest reflection into how Christians should engage others who claim Christ while promoting ideologies antithetical to his way. How do we differentiate between authentic discipleship and a power-driven counterfeit? When is it time to lovingly confront, and when is it time to focus on being a joyful presence even amid disagreement? Key Takeaways: • Understanding Cruciformity – Drawing from Philippians 2, Dr. Gombis defines cruciformity as using privilege, position, and power to sacrificially serve others, modeling the path of Jesus. • Scripture and Social Justice – Why the Bible inherently speaks into issues of race, class, gender, and justice, and how ignoring these themes distorts the gospel. • Faithful Interpretation vs. Literalism – A breakdown of how Paul’s creative use of the Old Testament—and early Christian interpretation—calls us to a living, theological engagement with Scripture rooted in love and justice. • Interacting with Other Christians – Strategies for responding to uncruciform expressions of Christianity with grace, humility, and clear relational boundaries. • Why Joyful Presence Matters – Finding the balance between calling out harmful theology and being a source of light, joy, and kindness without compromising the gospel. Guest Highlight: Dr. Timothy Gombis – New Testament scholar, professor, and host of the Faith Improvised podcast. With a Ph.D. from St. Andrews and decades of scholarly work, Gombis specializes in Pauline theology, cruciformity, and interpreting the Bible through a justice-centered lens. He brings deep nuance and practical wisdom to contemporary issues of faith and community.

1 The Anti-Greed Gospel: How Greed Fuels Racism and What the Church Can Do About It - w/ Dr. Malcolm Foley 1:17:15
1:17:15 Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir Geliked1:17:15
Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedUnpacking the intersection of economics, race, and faith, Mike and Tim sit down with historian and theologian Dr. Malcolm Foley to explore the dangerous roots of racism in greed and how Christian communities can resist the power of money—biblically referred to as "Mammon." With incisive insight, emotional clarity, and a sense of urgency, Malcolm walks us through the key thesis of his new book, “The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why the Love of Money is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create a New Way Forward.” This challenging yet hopeful episode invites listeners to reimagine how the church can actively defang race as a category of oppression by confronting institutional greed, building communities of economic justice, and aligning more deeply with the Kingdom vision of Jesus. Key Takeaways: • Greed as the Engine of Racism – Race didn’t create injustice; it was manufactured to justify domination and economic exploitation. • Defanging Race – Why we must neither ignore nor celebrate race, but neutralize its power through kingdom-shaped communities of justice and equity. • Economic Justice as Gospel Witness – How the early church's radical sharing (Acts 2 & 4) unveils God’s economic blueprint for the body of Christ. • Solidarity over Paternalism – Why generosity must evolve into shared life, mutual care, and practical redistribution of resources. • Institutional Implications – What churches (and podcast listeners!) can begin doing now to embody anti-greed practices and become agents of equity and reconciliation. Guest Highlights: Dr. Malcolm Foley – Author of “The Anti-Greed Gospel,” Baylor University’s Special Advisor to the President for Equity and Campus Engagement, and pastor of Mosaic Waco. Malcolm brings real theological depth, social awareness, and pastoral vision to his call for dismantling the idolatry of Mammon encountered both in society and within the institutional church. Resources Mentioned: • “The Anti-Greed Gospel” by Dr. Malcolm Foley – Brazos Press • “God’s Reign and the End of Empires” by Antonio Gonzalez • “Money and Possessions” by Walter Brueggemann • Revelation 3:14–22 – Jesus’s message to the lukewarm church in Laodicea • Acts 2:42–47, 4:32–35 – The economic witness of the early church • Matthew 6:24 – “You cannot serve both God and Mammon” Be part of the anti-greed conversation and join us in rethinking how the church can resist Mammon and embrace its calling as a community of justice and love.

1:21:39 Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir Geliked1:21:39
Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedCelebrating 500 episodes and nearly 10 years of bold conversations, Mike and Tim pause to reflect on the Voxology journey and address a growing burden: the deepening divide between competing versions of Christianity in American culture. This milestone episode explores how one branch of Christianity has co-opted the language of Jesus to justify nationalism, violence, and power, while another remains rooted in the cruciform way of Jesus—marked by humility, sacrifice, and enemy-love. Mike and Tim unpack why this distinction matters now more than ever, emphasizing the urgent need to return to the center—Christ himself—and discern truth from distortion. Through heartfelt lament, cultural critique, and biblical exploration, this conversation brings clarity, challenge, and hope for a faith community seeking to resist cultural idolatry and embody the real Jesus in these confusing times. Key Takeaways: • Two Competing Christianities – Recognizing that not every representation of “Christian” is congruent with the life and teachings of Jesus. • The Way of the Cross vs. the Way of Power – Understanding that the cruciform path of Jesus stands in direct opposition to nationalism, triumphalism, and coercion. • Discerning the Center – How a return to the teachings of Jesus—particularly the Sermon on the Mount—can help us evaluate what is truly Christian in today’s landscape. • Calling Out Distortion Without Condemnation – Learning to critique false gospels and ideologies without falling into gatekeeping or contempt. • What It Means to Be the Church Now – A renewed call for the church to serve as a prophetic, diverse, justice-oriented community amidst cultural confusion. Resources Mentioned: • Non-ference Gathering (July 31–August 2 in Nashville) – Email hello@voxpodcast.com with subject line “Nonference” for info. • Daniel 7 and Mark 8-10 – Crucial texts exploring Jesus’s clashes with power and his redefining of greatness and Messiahship. • The Sermon on the Mount – Matthew 5–7; referenced as the central teaching text for Christian formation. • Dallas Willard – “I trust Jesus with a whip, but I don’t trust myself,” a quote reflecting humility in social critique. • Facebook Private Group – Email to request an invite to our discussion space. • Philippians 2 – Preview of next episode’s theme on cruciformity. Guest Highlights: No outside guests this episode, but deep gratitude expressed for past contributors, supporters, and community members—including Andy Lara, Kevin Ashleman, Brenda, Bonnie, and countless others who have shaped Voxology through the years. 500 episodes in, the road’s been long, vulnerable, transformative, and often messy.

1 The Affections of Christ Jesus: What Paul’s Theology of Love Teaches Us Today - w/ Nijay Gupta 58:50
How do we truly love others, and what does it mean to love God with our whole being? In this rich and deeply engaging conversation with New Testament scholar Dr. Nijay Gupta, Mike and Tim explore the heart of Paul’s theology of love, as captured in Nijay’s newest book, “The Affections of Christ Jesus.” Tackling questions like "Can we love someone we don’t like?" and "Is empathy a sin?", they unpack the biblical roots of love, the emotional texture behind divine commands, and why reducing love to cold obedience misses the point entirely. Rooted in Deuteronomy, Philippians, and an astute understanding of emotional theory, Nijay reclaims love not as sentiment or robotic duty, but as an embodied, whole-person orientation empowered by attachment, compassion, and relationship. Whether it’s God's jealous love, the fear of the Lord, or cultivating inner affections toward enemies and neighbors alike, this episode beautifully bridges emotional intelligence with biblical theology. Key Takeaways: • Love is Whole-Personed and Relational – True biblical love involves the body, mind, emotions, and will—it’s not just about doing the right thing, but being reoriented toward others from the heart. • The Hebrew and Greek Understanding of Love – Love is visceral. In biblical language, emotions arise from the ‘guts,’ not just the heart. The Greek word "splanchnizomai" captures compassion as a deep, bodily movement. • From Cold Obedience to Cultivated Affection – Love is not sustained without empathy and proximity. Ongoing acts of love without emotional investment eventually collapse. • God’s Jealousy and Fear of the Lord – God's jealousy is protective, not petty. And fearing God is less horror and more awe—like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon or beholding a thunderstorm. • Empathy Isn’t a Sin—it’s Sacred – While some critique empathy as misguided, Nijay defends it as humanity's superpower and essential to resisting dehumanization and injustice. • Forming Affections through Repetition and Proximity – Nijay shares how showing up for a small group of teenage boys each week moved his heart toward genuine love for them over time. Resources Mentioned: • The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul’s Theology by Nijay Gupta • BibleProject – bibleproject.com • School of Practical Theology – Co-hosted by Nijay Gupta and AJ Swoboda on the Slow Theology podcast • Caitlin Beatty’s “Celebrities for Jesus” – Insights on power, intimacy, and proximity within Christian leadership • Substack: Engaging Scripture by Nijay Gupta – nijaygupta.substack.com • New Living Translation Committee – Translating biblical texts for clarity and faithfulness Join Mike, Tim, and Nijay in reflecting on what it means to authentically tentacle your soul—yes, tentacle—around God and neighbor in ways that form you into a person of active, grounded love.

In this compelling episode of the Exile Series, Mike and Tim are joined by longtime friend and justice advocate Sarah Pecan Driver to explore what it means to faithfully pursue the restoration of shalom. Drawing deeply from Scripture and her 26 years of domestic and international experience in social policy, Sarah unpacks six biblical pillars of justice—from economic resets to bias-free systems—and shows how these ancient practices still challenge and inspire modern expressions of church, business, and civic life. Key Takeaways: • Justice as the Restoration of Shalom – Why justice is far more than fighting injustice; it’s about building real communities of equity, rest, and connection grounded in God’s design. • The Six Pillars of Biblical Justice – Sarah unpacks justice themes from Leviticus and Deuteronomy, including Sabbath rest, economic resets (Jubilee), gleaning laws, and interest-free lending. • Old Testament Roots, New Testament Fulfillment – Connecting Jesus' teachings and the practices of the early church to the justice systems prescribed in the Hebrew Scriptures. • The Church as a Just Community – Exploring how Christians can move from charity to systemic justice through biblical practices and modern workplace equity. • DEI in the Workplace through a Biblical Lens – Tangible tips for employers and leaders to remove bias and inequity, from removing salary history requests to proactively inviting feedback. • Why Economic Equity Is Good News – A biblical case for limiting profit maximization in favor of shared well-being and neighbor love. Guest Highlights: Sarah Pecan Driver – Justice advocate, global policy consultant, and founder of JusticeDriver.com.

1 Understanding Grace as a Social Dynamic: Resisting the Myth of a Christian Nation (Exile Series) 1:07:48
1:07:48 Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir Geliked1:07:48
Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedHow reframing grace as a radical, social equalizer challenges cultural power systems and reshapes the church’s role in a fractured world. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford continue the Exile Series by unpacking how American nationalism distorts the purpose of the church—and how the book of Ephesians offers a subversive vision of identity rooted in Christ, not country. Drawing on theologians like Lee Camp, Caitlin Schess, and John Barclay, this episode critically examines how partisan politics twist scripture and why grace flattens power hierarchies, replacing tribal superiority with true siblinghood in the body of Christ. Key Takeaways: • Grace as Equalizer – Paul’s use of grace in Ephesians 2 goes beyond personal salvation; it subverts social hierarchies and removes grounds for boasting between groups (Jew/Gentile, male/female, slave/free). • The Myth of Christian Nationalism – Examining how Reagan-era rhetoric and modern political movements hijack biblical imagery (like “a city on a hill”) to assign God’s promises to America instead of the church. • Living Out New Humanity – The call of the gospel is to live as an alternative community—practicing justice, reconciliation, common meals, lament, and kindness to the poor—as acts of resistance against cultural divisions. • Constructive Anger and Emotional Honesty – Tim opens up about the tension between outrage, privilege, and compassion, challenging listeners to engage with righteous anger while still building bridges. • The Church as a Community of Shalom – Highlighting how diversity in race, ability, and gender should not merely be tolerated but celebrated in the church as reflections of God’s multifaceted image. Guest Highlights: None formally, but the writings of Lee Camp, Dallas Willard, and John Barclay heavily influence the theological insights discussed. Resources Mentioned: • Scandalous Witness by Lee Camp – Link • Ballot and the Bible by Kaitlyn Schiess – Link • Paul and the Gift by John M. G. Barclay – Link • James 2, Ephesians 2, and Galatians 3 – Scripture on grace, justice, and the abolishment of ethnic, gender, and class barriers in the church. • Voxology Table Night – Monthly meal-based gatherings to intentionally build multiracial, multigenerational community.
