Reading Paul and Finding Shelter | Stuff I Want to Say 10

Stuff I want to say is the podcast where…well, I say whatever I want to say.

This episode is a bit of a shorter, more meandering episode. In it I talk about a small handful of things.

  • Why I treasured working in Kentucky.
  • Chronological Bible readings are interesting.
  • A few thoughts on reading Paul chronologically.
  • How I nearly cried at the bar at a BBQ restaurant.
  • Why we all need to admit we need shelter.

Reading the Bible in 18 Days: A conversation with Aaron Mansfield

Reading the Bible in 18 Days: A conversation with Aaron Mansfield

Welcome to stuff I want to say. It’s a podcast that pretty much functions as the external process of my own brain and life as I pastor in North Louisiana. In this episode I talk with my friend Rev. Aaron Mansfield, the person I consider my pastor. We talk about a lot of different things, many of the around the idea of reading the Bible. In this episode we talk about a bunch of stuff. Some of it includes:

  • Ministry in the Northside of Lexington, Kentucky.
  • Letting your kid Flair Chop another pastor.
  • An odd reason to wear a clergy collar.
  • People filled with the Holy Spirit.
  • BIble reading plans.
  • Writing a Master’s thesis on preaching Revelation while keeping crack heads out of the clothes closet.
  • When you decide to read the Bible as fast as you can.
  • Why you need to skim the Bible.
  • Bible translations.
  • Why just reading for time works best.

It was great to have Aaron come on the podcast. I have been wanting to do this conversation for a long time. I’m still thinking of doing a faster read. I just wrapped up my chronological read of the Apostle Paul and I am extremely glad I did it.

Stuff I Want to Say 007 | JR Forasteros and The Devil

Stuff I Want to Say 007 | JR Forasteros and The Devil

Stuff I want to say is a *hopeful weekly show in which I share stuff I want to say. Sounds simple…right?

One of the things I have been excited about since the beginning of this new show is sharing conversations with friends that I think have something to share. My buddy JR Forasteros is the author of the fantastic book Empathy for the Devil. Last year, after preaching a sermon about the devil, I had JR on another podcast to talk about his book and some of the ways he feels we learn from the stories of villains in the bible. I wanted to replay it for you here on SIWTS.

My favorite part of this conversation is the one where he talks about a Biblical Theology of the Devil, and discerning the who, what, where and why from the tiny bits and pieces we have learned about him in the scriptures.
