Speaking Prophetically to the World and to the Church || SLP323
Typically the religious person attacks the sins of the out-group and commends the righteousness of the in-group. In the Bible we see something radical. The prophets would speak against the sins of the nations but they reserved their harshest criticisms for the people of God. What does it mean to speak prophetically into the cultural issues of the day?In this interview Glen Scrivener speaks to Doug Ponder, Teaching Pastor at Remnant Church, Richmond, Virginia.Watch the interview here (where the Powerpoint slides mentioned in the podcast will be visible) https://youtu.be/ynqpyd6hVEMFollow Doug on Twitter: @DougPonder Follow Glen Scrivener: @glenscrivenerFollow Speak Life: @SpeakLifeUKSupport the show

Ousting Epicurus || SLP320
Last month we looked at the ancient philosopher Epicurus. When we put on his ancient spectacles we understand much of the modern world. We live in an Epicurean world. But what could ever topple this pleasure-seeking world view? Stoicism has been, traditionally, the competitor to Epicureanism. It's all about accepting the moment and living for virtue (rather than pure pleasure). But the gospel of Jesus is different to both of these philosophies. In this episode Glen Scrivener walks us through the three world views and how Jesus offers something incomparable and unimprovable.Support the show
