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.

In the final episode on chapter 1 of "The Divine Conspiracy", Daniel and I focus on how the second and third culture clash, how our loss of vision has affected the way we communicate, and what the conditions are for a playable game.
As Daniel and I continue to talk about the Ideas in chapter 1, we drill down on what happens in the third culture when they want the kingdom of the second culture without the first.

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.
