I continue my investigation with "The BEMA Podcast" on the structure of the creation story in Genesis. We find the center of the poem and explore more of what C.S. Lewis has to say on the subject in "The Screwtape Letters."

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 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."
Part 2 is Coming Soon!

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.

The transformation in Shia Labeouf's life lately has been astounding. We dissect his interview with Jon Bernthal to help us see how he actually came to deal with his real life in order to transform spiritually. It was the death of his ego that gave him the place for a rebirth into something greater. Join us as we listen to his amazing story and tie it to content from "The Divine Conspiracy" chapter 9!

Taking some key concepts from Chapter 8 of "The Divine Conspiracy," Daniel and I talk about Willard's flip of Bonhoeffer's famous phrase, "cheap grace," into "costly faithlessness." We investigate how our faith affects our works and vice versa.

As we continue into chapter 8, the discussion moves from becoming a disciple to making disciples. There are ways you can do this for individual people and for the church to participate in helping people conform to the image of Christ.

As Daniel and I continue to talk about chapter 7, we focus in on what it means to be formed by praying for what is good for us, rather than what we may merely want.
