CBF Podcast: The Protestant Reformation at 500

Last updated on: November 6, 2017 at 10:12 am By Aaron Weaver

While we know the historical and theological implications of the Reformation, the church must turn its attention to the hard lessons learned from the Reformers. This means that we need to peel back the ugly chapters of the revolutionists, including the older Luther and the cantankerous Swiss Brethren. Consider what the later years of these Reformers can teach the church today about creating space for theological dialogue and innovation. Our conversation features Dr. Glenn Jonas of Campbell University. Jonas is the Associate Dean College of Arts & Sciences, Charles Howard Professor of Religion Christian Studies, Director of the Honors Program, and the legendary scholar of the Boss (Bruce Springsteen).

Podcast: A Conversation with Jack Jenkins of ThinkProgress

Last updated on: November 3, 2017 at 10:04 am By Guest Contributor

We sat down with Jack, the senior religion reporter for ThinkProgress, to talk about the motivation behind his writing and what gives him creative energy. “The responsibility of the journalist, when writing about the intersection of religion and politics, is to relay accurate information. The goal is to not make the people you are writing about happy,” Jenkins said. He added, “If you wrote the write story and it is accurate, sometimes that will make people mad.” Read more

You Too?

Last updated on: October 18, 2017 at 2:34 pm By Guest Contributor

This week my Facebook feed filled up with stories around the hashtag #MeToo. Maybe yours did as well. The accompanying explanation was that “if every person who has been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.” When I shared one of my experiences, a couple of clergywomen replied that all their instances of harassment had been in a church setting. I saw similar notes in the posts of other female ministers. We can do better. Read more

They Get What — Matthew 20:1-16

Last updated on: October 12, 2017 at 8:51 am By Guest Contributor

In the coming kingdom of heaven, God’s primary concern will not be about the hard work we each put in here on earth, or the fact that we may have been a Christian longer than someone else. God may recognize those things, but that does not make us more valuable or important than anyone else in the coming kingdom. God sees all of God’s children as equal. Read more

Imagine a nation where everyone who ever made a public statement boasting about their faith chose to go from letting bullets roll down like waters and military assault weapons like an ever-flowing stream, to one where we actually chose to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Read more

Life out there

Last updated on: September 19, 2017 at 3:42 pm By Guest Contributor

While there is some debate about whether there is "life out there", those of us who are followers of Christ know that there is. Consider these words from the Apostle Paul: "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and mind has not conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" (I Cor 2.9). Read more
