Moving Beyond Individual Episodes

Some topics can't be addressed in a single episode. They deserve a sustained conversation, with attention to how the questions associated with the topic are framed, what Scripture actually says, where the cultural pressure is coming from, and what the faithful response looks like.

These series are the platform's developed work on questions worth following.

Current series

Faith and Mental Health

The contemporary conversation about mental health has reached the church, often in ways that import therapeutic frameworks wholesale and leave Christian theological resources unused. This series works the question theologically: what does Scripture say about suffering, lament, the soul, and the body, and how should Christians think about mental health from within their own theological tradition?

This series develops a theology of public witness that holds Christ's authority over politics without enlisting Christ for either party's cause.

Trajectories: Theological Themes in the Old Testament

The Old Testament is not a separate dispensation, a problem to be resolved by the New Testament, or a collection of moral lessons. It is a coherent witness to the God revealed fully in Jesus Christ. This series traces the major theological themes of the Old Testament, covenant, kingdom, presence, holiness, exile, and return, and shows how they shape Christian reading of both Testaments.

In the Beginning: Genesis and the Shape of the World

With Rebekah Josberger, PhD and Renee Duffy, hosts of The Bible Unbranded Podcast.

The opening chapters of Genesis carry more theological weight than almost any other passage in Scripture, and they have been read in more ways than almost any other passage. This series works through the early chapters of Genesis in conversation with the host of The Bible Unbranded Podcast, attending to what the text actually says, how it was heard by its first audience, and what it tells us about creation, humanity, and the God who made and ordered the world.
