Send us a text!In The Aeneid, Virgil paints a picture of the good man through the story of Aeneas. Having fled after Troy fell to the Greeks, our hero embarks on a journey to plant a city for his son and future generations. In the process, we learn that Aeneas is a good man because he has developed pietas, gravitas, and auctoritas.

Send us a text!Should Christians pray the imprecatory Psalms? Many notable Christian voices, including C.S. Lewis, say 'no.' However, we find the imprecatory Psalms on the lips of New Testament authors and Christ. So what's the verdict? In this episode I talk with Sean McGowan, a PCA pastor, about his book, Psalms that Curse. The book makes the case that Psalms of imprecation are important for believers to pray today, and we talk about the biblical argument for doing so.
