Freedom means I can do whatever I want, right? Wrong, that's a hijacked and distorted meaning. The Biblical view of freedom is "The capacity to self-govern; to act according to one's choices within God's created order and under His moral law." This matters because it gives guidance for a culture to truly maintain freedom without succumbing to humanity's gravitational pull toward chaos. It requires a collective embrace of the boundaries that God lovingly instituted for our good and flourishing. Join Scott and the team as we consider the wisdom of this definition and contrast it with the contemporary counterfeit. What kinds of lives and societies would grow from these contrasting definitions? This episode will encourage you to consider the profound importance and implications of this word and how it is used.

Is there such a thing as Christian art? Or are there just Christians who make great art that represents something of the nature of God? There are no Christian bagels, surgeries, or financial portfolios, so why do we expect artists in our churches to create sculptures or plays that are "Christian?" Only humans can be Christians. Let's bring freedom to the artistic gift in ourselves and others, glorifying God through any art that speaks to the beauty, hope, joy, meaning, or grandeur of God and His character.

Today, we sit down with three professional artists who embody this and who use the beauty of their art to speak prophetically to their cultures. Join us and learn how you can use this language to spread hope in despair, splendor in ugliness, and ultimately disciple your nation with God's beauty.

Historically, the definition of marriage has been rich, calling humanity toward a knowledge of the truth of our very nature. Based on biblical principles, marriage was understood to be: “A God-ordained, comprehensive, exclusive, and permanent union that brings a man and a woman together as husband and wife, to be father and mother to any children their union brings into being. It is based on the anthropological truth that men and women are different and complementary, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the social reality that children need both a mother and a father.”

Today, marriage has been radically redefined and simply means "a legally recognized, romantic caregiving relationship between consenting adults who intend to live together as sexual and domestic partners."

Can the redefinition of a word so transform our thinking that the actual truth and meaning of the word becomes extinct? In today's episode, Scott Allen, author of the upcoming book, 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World, responds by analyzing how we got here, considering the consequences of holding this definition, and helping us discern how we can bring God's truth back to this critical word. As Christians, we absolutely must not let the meaning of marriage continue to slide further and further from God's original definition. It's far past time, but not too late, for us as believers to stand up for marriage for the sake of our communities, nations, children, and for generations to come.
