13: Seminaries And Racial Reconciliation With Matthew Hall Coffee And Cream 2018-07-16 | Jake and Matt tackle the recent #seminarywhileblack with Matthew Hall, Dean of Boyce College and SVP of Academic Affairs. We talk about cultural Marxism, the role of seminaries in engaging minorities, and introducing diverse voices into classrooms.Passage of the day:“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” (Ephesians 4:11-16).Theme music by: David ButlerProduced by: David ButlerPodcast design by: Jake CannonAdditional consulting by: Nick Francis Sponsored by: Crossway, JM Films & Switch CoffeeSpecial Thanks to: Matthew HallFind out more about the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary here:http://www.sbts.edu/and Boyce College here: http://www.boycecollege.com

11: Unity In Diversity Coffee And Cream 2018-06-18 | What's up with unity? Can there be true unity while recognizing distinctions? Should churches be pursuing multiethnic congregations? We're finishing up our three-part series over the Thabiti Anyabwile and James White discussion, and we hope you like it! Passage of the day: “Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

09: Generational Repentance Coffee And Cream 2018-05-21 | Jake and Matt are back to tackle the issue of generational repentance in light of a discussion that took place between Thabiti Anyabwile and Dr. James White. Should we repent of sins we didn’t commit? Is there a Biblical precedent for white guilt? Join us as we open up God’s word and ask some hard questions.Passage of the day: “Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

08: Forgiveness, Reconciliation, and Reptentance Coffee And Cream 2018-05-07 | We’re back after a two-week long hiatus to talk about a discussion that went on between pastor Thabiti Anyabwile and Dr. James White regarding racial reconciliation. You can catch up on the dialogue in the links below. But we wanted to take some time to parse out four key points that were brought up in the dialogue and apply Scripture to each point. First up we are tackling the question of forgiveness. What does it look like to forgive and is it the same thing as reconciliation? We then take a look at repentance and what that can look like practically in our lives. On the next episode we will be tackling the final two issues: generational sin and unity in the body of Christ.

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” (John 7:14-24, ESV).Theme music by: David ButlerProduced by: David ButlerPodcast design by: Jake CannonAdditional consulting by: Nick Francis Sponsored by: JM Films & Switch CoffeeSpecial Thanks to: Samuel Yang

Episode 04: Justice/Social Justice Coffee And Cream 2018-03-05 | Over the past few years, cries for justice and social justice have come from protestors to politicians.

Passage of the day: "Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way. The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.” (Genesis 18:16-19, ESV)Articles Mentioned: When is civil disobedience allowed for a Christian? from GotQuestions.orggotquestions.org/civil-disobedience.htmlTheme music by: David ButlerProduced by: David ButlerPodcast design by: Jake CannonAdditional consulting by: Nick Francis Coffee provided by: Crown Brew Coffee Co.
