There is a lack of information on why the disciples followed Jesus. When Jesus appeared on the scene, the Kingdom was at hand. He had his foot in the door, so to speak. The disciples made an immediate response because they recognized the Kingdom was moving.

iMonk Radio Podcast #147

Returning from Cornerstone ’09 but that’s not the topic of this podcast.

Michael Jackson’s death and corrupt gods. We need to let the beauty and simplicity of the gospel be seen wherever we are, not be more like the culture.

Larger discussion of sexuality and how evangelicals approach those topics in a changing culture. (Much has changed in the past 12 years.)

Michael plugs Cornerstone 09. I believe we have some audio from that conference that we can share later.

Southern Baptist Convention met in Louisville, KY and Michael feels the denomination is ready to “get over itself.” He explains what that means.

The Anglican Church of North America is a new thing.

The big discussion is on evangelism and questions that many of us have.

Update on stormy weather in southeastern Kentucky. Michael can’t remember what he ate for lunch. Summer school students are not interested in learning anything.

Fathers Day weekend. 1) recommendation for Andrew Peach The Demise of Fatherhood on First Things. One of the biggest problems we are facing is the unwillingness of men to be fathers. 2) Michael discusses the problems with his relationship with his own father and the eventual resolution of some those.

Q1: Is evangelicalism child abuse? Q2: Should evangelicals apologize?

iMonk Radio Podcast #143

I have not listened to this one yet. Back in 2009 Michael wrote “This week: a few stories from Advance 09. Friendship. Answers to the ‘Too God-Centered’ Objection.”

Note: this is the third episode in a row he has identified on the air as #142. When he posted it to Internet Monk it was labeled 143. (I listened to the first minute just to make the audio file uploaded correctly.)

iMonk Radio Podcast #142

Introduction bits and pieces: Maise is a bushland terrier. Facebook, Twitter, and what is low information action ratio? Critique of Mark Driscoll (keeping in mind this was recorded in 2009, Driscoll did not resign from Mars Hill until 2014.)

Longer discussion of celibacy in Roman Catholicism and evangelical married life. Father Alberto Cutié did in fact become an Episcopal priest.

Link to On Being Too God-Centered and/or Answers/Responses to that question.
