A great way to center one’s life on the gospel and structure one’s life for joy is to create rhythms that shape the day-to-day and week-to-week in all domains of life. This is easily done with a “rule of life” – so today, looking ahead to 2021, we discuss making a rule of life and how it is beneficial. Happy New Year!

Today’s episode is on the Crucifixion and atoning work of Jesus as the story unfolds in Mark 15. We also take short dives into theories of atonement and the theological significance of the supernatural darkness (v. 33), the temple curtain being torn in two (v. 38), Mark’s connections to the Transfiguration, and Jesus being the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53. Additionally, we add some points about how Christians can speak to the trustworthiness of Mark’s story with regard to the Crucifixion and Resurrection.

Today we talk about creation in light of an upcoming ski trip the Radically Normal team will be on, making this episode one in which “our” week meets the Cross. We talk about the distinction between God and His creation as well as how creation drives us to knowledge of and worship of God.

Merry Christmas Eve! Today’s episode is an interview with Captain Dan Griffin, who was a pilot for a long time and has flown all over the world. We chat with him about speaking about Jesus in his job, finding affection for God in seeing His creation in the skies all over the world, Christmas, and much more.

Mark 14 is a long chapter, and today we discuss each section, including Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, the Last Supper, and Peter’s denials. Additionally, as the topics come up, we discuss relevant points such as Jesus as the only way of redemption, regret vs. repentance, and how God as Trinity has one will, instead of a notion that the Father and Son have two distinct wills.

Today we continue last week’s conversation on the end times! Last week, in part 1, we introduced ideas about a tribulation period and rapture and discussed three views on the millennium of Revelation 20. This is part 2 of the conversation, featuring an in-depth discussion of a “rapture” (primarily from pre-tribulation and post-tribulation viewpoints, as explained). Lastly, we talk about where we disagree and then close with a word regarding charity with believers of different viewpoints.
Episode #49 may also be of interest, which covered some related topics as seen in Jesus’ Olivet Discourse in Mark 13.
Feel free to contact us (see below) for our notes on this topic, and we will post them here or somewhere accessible. Also notice below that we are taking questions for our Season 2 Q&A that will release in early January – and feel free to throw in questions on this topic!

Mark 13, featuring Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, is a tricky and heavily debated chapter. Here we try to sort that out, looking at the destruction of the temple, future trials and tribulation for God’s people, and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Olivet Discourse is tied to the study of the end times (known as eschatology) – check out last Thursday’s episode and this upcoming Thursday episode for more on this topic!
