Right before the pandemic, in February of 2020, I took on the role of interim student ministries director at my church. Then the world shut down. I hosted seven weeks of group online, and I recorded a series of videos about the basics of our beliefs for my students to watch before our weekly meetings. These short video introductions to important Biblical subjects lay dormant for nearly five years, until I decided to turn them into episodes of my podcast. The original videos (edited, of course, to remove the boring logistical information), will be posted on YouTube. There you can see my beard and my hair grow longer each week until I look like a ridiculous clown. Longtime listeners of the show will realize that some of my beliefs have been nuanced or changed in the last five years, but I still agree with the basic outline of each episode. I hope they benefit you! New episodes will be released every other Thursday between January 30-April 24 2025. Original show notes: What Do We Believe? Week Seven: The Nations The final week in a seven-part series entitled "What Do We Believe", based on Romans 1:1-5. Paul declares in Romans 1:5 that the Gospel is for 'the nations' or 'the gentiles'. We will explore the significance of that statement this week! Here are the four discussion questions from this week: 1. How is the message of Jesus relevant to everyone, regardless of our different backgrounds? 2. The Gospel forces us into relationships with those that are different from us. Why can this be challenging? 3. If the Gospel is open to everyone, how does this shape the way we treat those that are not a part of the church? 4. Why is it a good to have diversity within the church? The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.
