SPECIAL EPISODE: The Virginia Election, Black Conservatives, and CRT

It's election season again and the Virginia election has our hosts talking! Marcos and Lisa are here with a special episode talking about what went down last week! Are black conservatives somehow betraying the black cause? What role did CRT have in the election and how much of a concern should it be? Listen in to some spirited but loving disagreement brought to the surface by current events. 

The Creation Mandate

Lisa and Marcos discuss the Creation Mandate, the role of culture building, and why this is an important discussion for churches and Christians. 

Made in the Image of God

In this week's episode, Lisa and Marcos talk about what it means to be made in the image of God. What are different components of the image of God? How does this impact various relationships in our lives? Why is image such an important doctrine? 

A Special Creation

Lisa and Marcos begin talking about the oft-neglected topic of Anthropology. The conversation begins with a look at human beings being specially created by God and what that means for us today. 

SEASON 4 PREMIERE! Hard Questions about Rising, Falling, and Everything In Between

Get introspective with our hosts and share your thoughts in the comments!

BONUS EPISODE! #WhyWeStay

Family Discussion is back for a super-sized bonus episode! Lisa and Marcos interview a long-time PCA member and Ruling Elder about the challenges facing people of color in Reformed denominations, and why many have decided to stay rather than leave.

Season Finale! Culture's Impact on Bible Reading

After a break for Holy Week, Family Discussion is back for their Season 3 Finale! Lisa and Marcos reflect on the year that's passed before considering the impact our cultural blinders have on the right reading of Scripture. We hope you've enjoyed this season, and we'll be back again very soon!

The Cultural Contexts of the Biblical Writers

In this week's episode, Lisa and Marcos discuss why knowing the contexts of the writers of Scripture can help us interpret rightly. Why do these original contexts matter? What can happen when we ignore the context? How does application change when context is considered? 

The Story of Special Revelation

Lisa and Marcos continue discussing special revelation by asking, "What is the Story of the Bible"? How we read the main story of the Bible can impact how we apply that story to our current context. Listen in to this clarifying discussion.

The Bible as Special Revelation

Lisa and Marcos continue their journey through systematic theology and justice by taking a look at the Bible. Does Special Revelation extend beyond the Bible? What does understanding the Bible as Special Revelation mean for us as we wrestle through the issues of today?
