The Whole Counsel
John Snyder, host of the Behold Your God Study and an elder of Christ Church New Albany, walks us through the realities of the Christian life with an emphasis on experiential Christianity. We love books on our podcast, so we tend to find great help in old books written by church fathers, puritans, and others. John has a plethora of guests to come on the show and share different insights into the books we discuss.

Salvation in Full Color Introduction
In this inaugural episode of The Whole Counsel (previously The Behold Your God Podcast) John introduces several of the changes to the podcast. We are in a new location, we have a new cohost (welcome Chuck Baggett) and we have a new sound. But lots of things are staying the same. We are still discussing the same eternal truths and we are still looking to writers and pastors of the past for help.
This week John and Chuck introduce the source material we will be using over the next several weeks. This book is Salvation in Full Color. Links to where you can find are at www.mediagratiae.org.

God's Faithfulness in Our Suffering
John speaks this week to Joel Tiegreen. Joel served as a missionary to Turkey for several years until he received a terminal diagnosis of cancer. John talks to Joel about his suffering and the Lord's kindness in it. Joel served for five years as a missionary to Turkey. He fully expected to die in that foreign land presenting people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
But following a devastating diagnosis of terminal cancer, he came back to America for treatment. In this season, God has not abandoned Joel, his wife, or their five children. God has proved faithful and true through it all.
