Listen to the podcast on your favorite app: Or watch it on YouTube: Episode Description: We are experiencing disunity in ever-increasing ways. We are feeling it especially in 2020. How did we get here? According to Genesis, God created an integrated world, where we could live in harmony. But sin has dis-integrated everything. Sin breaks these loving relationships.

Politics that Seek the Flourishing of Others

Last updated on: September 15, 2020 at 11:38 am By Bob Robinson

[ The Politics of Shalom, Part 1 ] In this series of blog posts, I will seek to offer some foundational principles for how Christians can better engage in the political process. Many Christians are looking for another way to navigate our political landscape. The Religious Right has taught us that the only way to think politically is through electing presidents and legislators who will fight back against the rise of secular humanism in our society. They’ve convinced a vast... Read more

6 Differences Between a “Job” and a “Vocation”

Last updated on: September 5, 2020 at 1:35 pm By Bob Robinson

As someone who seeks to help people discover their vocations, I’ve been asked this on more than one occasion: What’s the difference between a “Job” and a “Vocation?” We want more than a “job;” we want something bigger, something more meaningful, something that makes us want to get up in the morning. What makes our work a “vocation?” Here are some helpful contrasts: Job – The etymology of the word “job” is from the late 1500s, a “jobbe of worke”... Read more

Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? with John Fea (podcast)

Last updated on: December 23, 2020 at 10:23 am By Bob Robinson

Listen to the podcast on your favorite app Or watch it on America’s History The idea that America was founded to be a Christian nation is a presumption that many evangelical Christians have.

The Garden Was Nice, But It Wasn’t the End of the World

Last updated on: August 22, 2020 at 2:01 pm By Bob Robinson

How Nostalgia Warps Our Conception of Reality As I struggle through my middle-aged years, I reflect back nostalgically to a sweeter time when I had less cares and life was simpler. I think, If only life could always be like it was when I was seven years old! Or twelve, Or twenty-one. We have a tendency to think that somewhere in the past, things were perfect. With this presumption, we naturally think that we’ve somehow lost that perfection and our... Read more

Being Busy Is Not Cool

Last updated on: August 5, 2020 at 1:59 pm By Bob Robinson

When I run into friends and acquaintances, they will usually ask me, “How’ve you been?” My reply is often, “Busy,” or “You know, keeping my head above water,” or “Keeping all the plates spinning.” Why do I answer like this? Sure, it’s a way of saying that I am diligent in all my various duties, but more likely it is a way to proudly state that I am significant. I like to be busy and I like to brag that... Read more

Does God Really Like Me? With Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw (Podcast)

Last updated on: August 2, 2020 at 10:24 pm By Bob Robinson

The joy of knowing that God wants to be with you! Sure, God “loves” me… but… Does God LIKE me? So many of us Christians feel that God is angry with us, or disappointed in us, or even disgusted with us. We are grateful for Jesus Christ, who acts as some sort of go-between, a shield from a God who does not like us but has to “love” us because of the cross. In this podcast, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw...
