Ep 179: What We Believe Part 1 | The Gospel

Right before the pandemic, in February of 2020, I took on the role of interim student ministries director at my church. 

Then the world shut down. 

I hosted seven weeks of group online, and I recorded a series of videos about the basics of our beliefs for my students to watch before our weekly meetings. These short video introductions to important Biblical subjects lay dormant for nearly five years, until I decided to turn them into episodes of my podcast. The original videos (edited, of course, to remove the boring logistical information), will be posted on YouTube. There you can see my beard and my hair grow longer each week until I look like a ridiculous clown. 

Longtime listeners of the show will realize that some of my beliefs have been nuanced or changed in the last five years, but I still agree with the basic outline of each episode. I hope they benefit you! 

New episodes will be released every other Thursday between January 30-April 24 2025. 

Original show notes:

Week One in a seven part series entitled "What We Believe", based on Romans 1:1-5.

"Gospel" means good news, and Paul uses the term to describe the message about Jesus and the beliefs of Jesus followers. In Romans 1:1-5, Paul explains these beliefs, what he calls the "Gospel".

Here are the three discussion questions from this week:

1. How is the message about Jesus "Good News" to you?

2. How can we bring "good news" to others during this quarantine?

3. Why is it important to know what we believe about Jesus?
