Regent College Podcast

Often we talk about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but don't actually understand its meaning for humanity and all of creation.  Even more we focus on the Atonement of Christ without realizing that the Resurrection is significantly connected to it.   We sat down with Dr. Ross Hastings and had a conversation about his new book, "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Exploring Its Theological Significance and Ongoing Relevance".  We asked questions around the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus, how we are to understand the mission of God in light of the Resurrection, and how we can live more fully as God's Resurrected people.  We hope you enjoy our conversation with Dr. Ross Hastings!Interested in Dr. Hastings book, check out the Regent College Bookstore.  To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.eduRegent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Oppression, pain, slavery, and trauma are all a part of Israel’s story.  In the midst of this pain God responds.  We sat down with Dr. Isabelle Hamley and discussed how we can learn from Israel’s story and the Old Testament scriptures in regards to mental health.  She answered questions around what the “good life” is, how the biblical text speaks to pain, and how to cultivate a holistic response to pain and trauma.   We hope you enjoy our conversation. Also, Dr. Hamley is teaching a course on this very topic in our summer courses at Regent.  Check it out here. To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.eduRegent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Churches gather weekly, but for what purpose?  We sat down, in person, and had a conversation with Dr. Jeff Greenman around this very question.  In it we discussed Jeff's book, The Pedagogy of Praise,  which delves into the formative practices that mold the people of God into who God has called them to be.  We also discussed the importance of theological institutions like Regent and the relationship between the academy and the church.  We hope you enjoy our conversation with Dr. Jeff Greenman.  To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.eduRegent College Podcast Thanks for listening.
