Josh Butler

In this podcast episode, we brought together three professors from Northern Seminary to talk about the recent Gospel Coalition article by Josh Butler. Dr. Beth Felker Jones has written a book called Faithful: A Theology of Sex and as a systematic theologian, she is able to help us understand human sexuality from a theological perspective. Beth recently wrote a piece on her Substack that gave us eight reasons why Butler's piece was bad theology. Dr. Lynn Cohick is a New Testament scholar and has written a commentary on Ephesians. She is well-suited to address the Ephesians 5 text Butler's article was based upon. Dr. Scot McKnight has written extensively about the culture of the church in his book, A Church Called Tov, which looks closely at themes of abuse. Scot recently responded in his own Substack to Butler's article by giving three considerations about the culture that produced it.

 A Response to Josh Butler

 In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot McKnight and I discuss the causes that have led many evangelicals to deconstruct their faith. There are many different reasons people are examining and redefining their faith systems, and some have left their faith altogether. There are some legitimate concerns being raised and some things need to be disentangled from the culture of American evangelicalism. What does this mean for the faith we pass on to the next generation?

David Fitch

In our quest to renew the church, Christians have walked through seeker-friendly, emergent, missional, and other movements to develop new expressions of the body of Christ. Now in the post-Christian world in North America we're asking the question again: Is there a way to be the church that engages the world, not by judgment nor accommodation but by becoming the good news in our culture? In this episode of Kingdom Roots, Scot has a conversation with noted pastor, scholar, and his friend David Fitch about his new book, Faithful Presence.  In Faithful Presence, David gives a new vision for the witness of the church in the world. He argues that we have lost the intent and practice of the sacramental ways of the historic church, but those ways can be rediscovered if the church goes back to the practices that anchored the church from its birth.Preorder Faithful Presence here:  http://goo.gl/I0cZGu Connect with David Fitch on Twitter (https://twitter.com/fitchest) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/fitchest?fref=ts) Or listen to Theology on Mission (http://goo.gl/DsKDE6)    Interested in learning more about Northern?

When God calls His people into mission He doesn’t call individuals, rather He calls a community.  Paul exemplifies this reality with his missionary friends.  These friends are indispensable to how God used Paul to bring the kingdom to take root in the 1st Century world.  Some of Paul’s closest missionary friends included Priscilla and Aquila who provide a beautiful example of an entire household doing ministry together.  Epaphras is another great example of how Paul befriended a nonbeliever, led them into a relationship with Jesus, and sent them out to do ministry.Have a question for Scot?

We all have ideas that we tell ourselves about God and how he works in our lives. Some are true--but many are false.

Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God.

Jesus amended the Shema, giving his followers a new creed for life: to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, but also to love others as themselves.
