22 APR 2024 · Have you ever wondered how the Bible came to be? How did we end up with the books that we have and who made that decision? Are all of the stories true? Should we take every book of the Bible literally?

15 APR 2024 · As a little girl, Christian Williams tried to flush her tights down the church toilet. As a teen and into her twenties, she was told she was "the wrong kind of girl."

Today she encourages anyone who feels they fail to fit in, measure up, or fit the mold with the beautiful reminder that our highest call is to grow in the image and likeness of Christ. Christian Williams (ThM, Dallas Theological Seminary) serves as the Director of Adult Discipleship at Christ Community Church in Fayetteville, AK.

25 MAR 2024 · Author and Pastor Brian Zahnd walked a five-hundred-mile pilgrimage from France to Spain, examining crucifixes and meditating on what he saw. Five years later, he put pen to paper to discuss a kaleidoscopic view of the cross of Christ and what we miss in our modern-day understanding of Jesus's death, resurrection, and ascension . We used some big seminary words! Here they are:  - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atonement: The reconciliation of God and humankind through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/essay/substitutionary-atonement/: The teaching that, on the cross, Jesus Christ received the punishment we deserve for our sins and gave his perfect righteousness to all who make a sincere profession of faith. - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/essay/christus-victor/: The teaching that the cross signifies the victory that Christ won over the world and the spiritual powers of darkness, thus winning salvation and eternal life for all who make a sincere profession of faith. - https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/i/iconography: The study and interpretation of visual symbols or images in a work of art.
