‘For I Was a Stranger and You Shot Me’ Christians must oppose the spirit of fear and paranoia that makes shooting strangers so common in the U.S.

"Jesus made an appearance during the Super Bowl last Sunday thanks to He Gets Us, a $100 million+ ad campaign promising to reintroduce people to the “authentic Jesus of the Bible.” I think the “authentic Jesus” would feel rather unsettled by all the advertising hubbub. From my perspective, you can only discern the “authentic Jesus” by recognizing his political priorities. But He Gets Us argues that Jesus’ message is, in fact, not political at all."

What ‘He Gets Us' Ads Get Wrong About Jesus Those black-and-white ads you’ll see at the Super Bowl are eye-catching. But I have questions.

Reimagining the Church, with Soong-Chan Rah Soong-Chan Rah reflects on the warped theologies that have shaped the American church throughout history and hopes for a new, anointed Christian imagination in the 21st century.

Listen to Lanre Williams-Ayedun as she unpacks why it is so important to engage our sisters and brothers from other parts of the global church when reading the Bible.

What In the World? EPISODE 3: The Word of God The Bible is one of God’s most important gifts to his people. Through it we discover who he is and become equipped to follow him in the world.

Fuller Professor David Taylor is presenting a worship event in Austin, TX on Oct 1. Free tickets available here: https://bit.ly/3Dsx91B

Austin artists and musicians: Brehm is coming to TX on Oct 1! Join us for THE MUSIC OF THE PSALMS IN CHURCH HISTORY: a stimulating evening of song, image, and speech.

In collaboration with local musicians, David Taylor, Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of Open and Unafraid: The Psalms as a Guide to Life, will explore how Christians in different periods of church history have sung the psalms within corporate worship, with particular attention to the Apostolic, Patristic, Medieval, Renaissance, Reformation, Modern, and Contemporary eras.

For two thousand years, Christians have found the Psalter to be an invaluable resource for worship and prayer. And, like the original psalmists, Christians have felt compelled and inspired to set the text of the psalms to music, of all sorts: from a ca****la to choral, from folk to rock, from reggae to gospel, and more.

Reception will follow. Childcare will be available for children 5 and under with advanced registration only.
The event is free, but seats are limited. Please register today to reserve your seats. Link in bio!

What Can Churches Do About Climate Change?

"The climate crisis exacerbates essentially all other social injustices we concern ourselves with as a church. Whether it’s refugee resettlement, poverty, or anti-racism work, each of these cultural issues will be dramatically impacted by climate change because the effects of climate change play out primarily in geographical contexts where the poor and oppressed live. The rich, on the other hand, will be able to either move to places more secure from climate catastrophe, or construct built environments that mitigate the impacts."

Halting climate change—What faith communities can do The right and the left are currently battling it out over cultural issues and are distracted from the most pressing issue of our era, the climate crisis.
