Anthony and Cody discuss what is NOT the Gospel, specifically looking at the Romans Road, the 4 Spiritual Laws, and the ABCs of the Gospel. These methods for sharing the Gospel often take the place of the Gospel in the thinking of modern Christians. What is missing is the story, the narrative of Christ’s work. What’s at stake when we jump to theological extrapolation and methodology and leave the core of the Gospel behind?

Anthony and Cody discuss the word gospel and the context of gospel in the Ancient Near Eastern Setting. Before we can understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we need to first understand how the word Gospel was used in the biblical world and how the genre of gospel contributed to ancient society, both in the Hebrew context and in the Pagan/Roman world.

In this episode, Cody Urban joins the conversation to discuss Greek giants and how they interface with the biblical storyline. We talk about Titans, gods, demigods, Hercules, Prometheus, and the giant wars of the Greek myths.

Syndicated interview with Chuck from Fire Theft Radio. How do we bring up the subject of fallen watchers and giants at church? Why is it even relevant to know about? Is this at all a subject worth discussing in bible study? Chuck has an amazing conversation with Pastor, Podcaster, and author Anthony Delgado on why this subject is filled with practical meaning and understanding of biblical history. I’ve always said, “The more you know your bible, the more you’ll know what you're doing here.” We discuss Anthony’s book (The Watchers And The Holy Ones) and how we can use this so-called weird knowledge in church, counseling, and even evangelism. Never be afraid to research biblical knowledge that might not fit your current paradigm. But if you do, ensure it’s grounded in biblical context. Anthony’s book creates that bridge for the evangelical community.

This episode addresses the biblical giants. It is the first in a series about ancient Giants that will culminate with an episode on 'Bigger Giants,' which addresses in greater detail how we should think about giants today. In this episode, we survey the most significant biblical data and analyze it in light of Christ.

Episode #4 is titled "Christian Myth and Narrative." In this episode, we will discuss the construction of a Metanarrative and the narrative’s relationship to mythology, as well as Christian Mythology and the practice of Christian mythologization.

We have seen an increase in secularization (disenchantment) coming out of the modern period.

Today, we want to look at how the Bible’s macronarrative produces an enchanted metanarrative that is sounder than the demythologized dogma of many traditions of the modern period. I believe that the Bible answers societies' spiritual questions, but the church has largely lost its ability to answer those questions intelligently and biblically.

In episode #3 we take a look at the concept of Bible as story. In the first part, we ask the question, "Why read the Bible as story?" and in the second part address, "How to read the Bible as story.

We saw an increase in secularization (disenchantment) coming out of the modern period. Today we are seeing an increase in spirituality (reenchantment) in the postmodern period, but the Western world is reenchanting in the wrong direction. (new or hybridized mythologies). Through the fundamentalist and evangelical movements, the church has largely reduced the Bible to propositional truths and lost the mystical nature of the text.

In this episode, we look at how the story can help us regain some of the imagination of the biblical authors.

In this episode, we look at society’s response to secularism and disenchantment. God is not dead, as evidenced by the rise of spirituality in the Western world. How is conservative Christianity responsible, in part, for the rejection of organized religion? What can the church do to answer the spiritual questions greater society is exploring?
