Daniel and I finally begin discussing Dallas Willard's book, "The Divine Conspiracy." In this introductory episode, we start by talking about the necessity of News as I read from Newbigin's "The Gospel in a Pluralist Society." The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christain imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. It is our goal 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 read your bible again for the first time. We hope that through the words of those that have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

What are the consequences of God justifying us? How will our allegiance to Jesus affect our actions? These are the main questions Daniel and I attempt to tackle in our final episode about justification. #thebelfastpodcast #thegospel #goseplallegiance

Daniel and I continue to dissect the intersection of salvation by allegiance alone and how this justifies us before God. Daniel brings in ideas from a paper he wrote regarding our moral potential and our depraved inclinations. #thebelfastpodcast #thegospel #goseplallegiance

As we continue our investigation of the newsworthiness of the Gospel, Daniel and I talk about the concept of justification by faith and its connection to how our actions are affected once we give our allegiance to Jesus.

Daniel and I continue our conversation about the nature of the Gospel, its use in ancient times, and how it is used in our modern day. In this installment, we talk about how the gospel should be referenced as news, but it usually comes out as advice.

In this episode of the podcast, Daniel and I investigate modern preachers and their proclamation of the gospel. It is through this that we talk about some of the differences we see in these proclamations and how Skye continues to talk about the Euangelion of the gospel writers.

I have the opportunity to join my school for a trip to Oxford for 9 days to study C.S. Lewis in his place and time! Anyone who has been following this podcast for any time knows that Lewis has had a substantial impact on my theological thinking and gives his influence to the name of this podcast. After my parent's outstanding contribution to cover the first deposit, the trip is $2,650. Any amount will help, and those who give over $5 will get access to unique content I will produce after the trip!

In our lead-off episode in the gospel series project, Daniel and I attempt to tackle the question, "What is the Gospel?" Today, we start with defining the word in Greek, seeing how it was used in that culture and how the Biblical writers used it for their own purposes. We begin reacting to a sermon by Skye Jethani.

Daniel and I have been working on a project we want to invite you to be a part of! Often people say things like, "We are a gospel-centered church" or "I just preach the gospel." But what do they mean by the word "gospel"? And does their use of it reflect what the writers of the stories of Jesus meant when they talked of the 'gospel of Jesus Christ? These are just some of the questions we will attempt to answer in this series. I will link the books we are studying below. Feel free to buy them, and read along with us! Please email us with questions and comments with your thoughts as we will attempt to do a Q&A at the end of the study of each book.

Rounding out our episodes on Typology, Daniel and I look to the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree in Mark 11, seeing how Mark and Jesus use the image of the fig tree in the New Testament in conversation with its appearance in the Prophetic Imagination.
