Thrive: Deeper

Proverbs and the "GREY AREAS" of christian living. one man's liberty is another man's stumbling block. Matthew and DJ mention these "arty" film makers: Michael Haneke Lars von Trier Andrey Zvyagintsev

On their 43rd episode Matthew and DJ get very conversational about the Proverbs and the Bible's concepts about making decisions and taking responsibility for them. But first- is DJ bragging on himself on how he surpised his wife Benita for her 40th birthday? And Nigel Lane has a question about the Psalms being included in the Thrive readins but then left out of the podcast?

Guidance in Proverbs. Matt and DJ start by talking about a movie they saw: Capernaum https://youtu.be/ULUo0048xZE

Speech in Proverbs

Work in the book of PROVERBS. Plus your questions.

Matthew and DJ start by talking about new work brewing for Matt's band Sons Of Korah Then they look at the questions: "There’s a lot of ‘my child’ / 'my sons' going on. Is this God talking to Solomon or is Solomon talking to someone? If it’s the latter, then who? - Meg Thompson "Today’s Thrive message being about generosity reminded me that being generous with money is one thing but being generous with your time & none monetary resources is another, and not often commented on. Some of the most generous people I know give of their time & resources. ie they use their home to host people, they transport people in their car to events or medical appointments etc. should we tithe our time & resources? I know of a service club that is known as a cheque book club in that they generous give money but its members are known for not willing to give of their time. Are they generous?" - Chris Maddock Matthew references the books "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" by KLAUS SCHWAB "The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change" by Al Gore

This week's podcast is probably one not suitable for the younger kids because as we head into Proverbs, the first few chapters dive right into Sex, Sexuality and right relationships. So Matthew overlays these truths with modern culture's Pornography Addiction. Matthew references the book "The Porn Myth" from Ignatius Press We recommend the christian ministry of Triple X Church: https://www.xxxchurch.com/ There is some incredible software for those that want to live free from a Church culture: https://x3watch.com/ And some resources from non-religious organisation: https://fightthenewdrug.org/

An Introduction to the book of PROVERBS. **NOTE - DJ makes a mistake right at the beginning and introduces this episode as "episode 36" - Sorry! He meant to say Episode 37. Thanks and sorry for any confusion. What is Wisdom? https://youtu.be/AzmYV8GNAIM

Part Two of our look at the history in the "Intertestamental Period" Galatians 4:4-5 (ESV) "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons." We are expanding on "THE FULLNESS OF TIME"

Your Questions and then the trek into the period between the Old and New Testaments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertestamental_period
