As Daniel starts his set of videos on Genesis, he picks up where we have left off, going over, more in-depth, things we have talked about before-the cultural context of Genesis. With help from Tim Mackie and John Walton in an interview, they did a few years ago.

The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

As we finish chapter 10 of The Divine Conspiracy, Daniel and Luke take on the second gospel of sin management, that of eliminating social evils. What does it mean to have this view of the gospel, and how does it affect what we think the end times will be like? With the help of Willard, Pageau, and Peterson, we attempt to answer this question.

In Luke's final episode in the Genesis Series, he attempts to address more basic questions about what the Biblical text is doing on earth in Genesis. What kind of text is it? How does it operate? And how are we meant to take that?

What is it about prayer that many find so difficult? What about spiritual disciples make them feel as though they are always at arm's length? How does our view of salvation affect how we engage with spiritual practices? Join Daniel and me as we go through the end of chapter 9 of The Divine Conspiracy, along with Shia Labeouf, to help answer some of these questions.

As I continue telling my journey through understanding Genesis, I have reached the climax. This bit will be 2 episodes. In number 1, I will discuss the relationship between the Eastern and Western ways of using words and numbers through the BEMA Podcast. I tie this in with C.S. Lewis's opening in "Mere Christianity."

Many of us experience the desire for change, but it often doesn't stick. Why is that? What is it about our desires that are at once so rapturious and so fleeting? As we look at chapter 9 of "The Divine Conspiracy," we will see how the physical transformation of Penn Gillette, Dallas Willard, and Jesus all say the same thing about desire and change.

About 6 months ago, Kat Von D went onto Allie Beth Stuckey's podcast. They talked about her conversion, and Kat shared stories of the backlash she has experienced due to her appearance. She also sheds light on why she doesn't like modern worship music. These clips help us dive into Willard's words from "The Divine Conspiracy" regarding our out-of-order values in personal transformation.
