#067 Questions about the 4 Gospels—with Dr. Rikk Watts
In this episode, we challenge Dr. Rikk Watts with difficult questions about the 4 Gospels. These are some of the questions:—Why does Jesus hide his identity?—Why are demon-possessed people not mentioned in the OT as in the Gospels?—Why isn't John persecuted for preaching the baptism of forgiveness of sins?—Can Jesus transfigure at will?—"Nobody knows the day and the hour, nor the Son..." Does the Father know things that the Son does not?....and many other interesting and difficult topics.To learn more about Regent College and all of its courses visit:https://www.regent-college.edu/Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

#065 Dr. Gordon Smith challenges our conceptions of conversion and evangelism
How do we understand a Christian conversion? Is it a static moment or is it a journey? Does our personal conversion experience match the experiences of our favorite Bible characters? In this episode, Gordon T. Smith, who by the way wrote 2 books and did a doctoral dissertation on this topic, challenges our concepts of conversion and tells us where all of our evangelical confusion around conversion started.

#063 Asceticism in the 21st Century—with Dr. Wesley Hill
Trying to sell self-denial to 21st-century people is like trying to sell hockey to Brazilians. But Wesley Hill is willing to give it a shot on today's podcast. He argues that asceticism is not about eliminating desire. Actually, it has more to do with the intensification of desire. Interest piqued?
