Why is it so easy for evangelicals to move away from the Gospel? Michael Spencer addresses this issue by carefully examining Paul’s words to the Galatians.
Today’s secret phrase is “good coffee.” Listen for it.

Michael Spencer never wrote a book about parenting, dealing with issues related to raising children and teens in a Christian environment. If he had, he would have written that forming Christian identity is a better course in the long run than programming Christian behavior. This podcast episode explores some of those issues.
iMonk Radio Podcast #126
In this episode: Music from Randy Stonehill
Gospel of Mark study on Jesus Shaped Spirituality
Oxfordian Heressy (more commonly known as Oxfordian Theory)
Very interesting thoughts, considering where we are now and realizing this podcast is a decade old, on people that become “experts” after reading a few articles from a Google search.
Exposition on The Coming Evangelical Collapse; while archived posts from InternetMonk.com no longer exist, you can read an article bearing the same title, compiled from those posts, on The Christian Science Monitor. That publication is behind a paywall but you can read three free articles each month.

This week: A Note from God, and the iMonk goes a bit nuts over legalism. That’s how Michael Spencer described this podcast on his original post back in the day.
iMonk Radio Podcast #124
iMonk Radio #123
At some point after the intro Michael is going to call this podcast number 124 but you’re in the right place. We’ll have 124 next week.
Is the church sanctuary a sacred space? What does that mean to you and how has that concept changed over time?

I haven’t listened to this one yet but Michael Spencer’s original post back in 2008 looked like this:
iMonk Radio Podcast #121
On this episode: Michael talks about Christmas stories vs. Christmas in the Bible; Thomas Merton; and self-feeding evangelicals.

I couldn’t find the kids behaving in church post that Michael mentions and he did not link it from his original podcast post. But the Reverend Billy and Andrew Peterson sites are still up. Included is a rank about how Christians do a good job promoting Christianity, or a version of such, but poorly conform to Christ’s image.
Sidebar: Michael often apologizes for construction sounds outside or noises his animals make but I never hear any of those. This podcast has some sort of running water in the background the whole time but he doesn’t seem to notice.

You will immediately notice the music is a little different this week. The original post had a comment from a “sometimes reader” that liked it better than the usual hard rock/ metal sounding bumper music. Shoutout to the BHT’s magic tail chasing wonderdog, the inimitable, infamous Van Til.
What are God’s purposes in the current financial crisis? You may recall banks and the auto industry in particular getting federal bailouts, along with some serious restructuring of both.
The Confessing Evangelical articles are no longer available (it was 2008) but the Catholic News Agency post about the Apostle Paul is still up.
