So We Speak

1 & 2 Kings with Terry Feix

1 & 2 Kings tells the story of the fall of Israel and Judah from the heights of the reign of Solomon and the dedication of the temple to the destruction of the temple and the exile. Unlike the end of 2 Samuel which spells doom for Israel, 2 Kings ends with a glimmer of hope and a preview of resurrection.

1 & 2 Samuel with Terry Feix

In the Hebrew Bible, 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings are one section, telling the story of the Kings of Israel from the time of the judges through the exile. In this episode, we talk about how to read biblical narratives and discuss the stories of Samuel, Saul, and David.

Haggai with Terry Feix

Haggai is one of those rare prophets who saw his words come true in his own lifetime. He prophesied after the exile in a situation a lot like ours. In this episode, we discuss Haggai's prophesies and his relevance for today.

2 Peter with Terry Feix

2 Peter is the apostle Peter's last letter and his last reminder to the churches in Asia. Although they were likely facing physical persecution, Peter reminds them of something even more important. His final letter reminds us of the threat of false teaching, the importance of holiness, and the astonishing gifts we have been given in Christ.

Proverbs with Terry Feix

The book of Proverbs is a compendium of wisdom begun by Solomon and finished by the men of Judah during Hezekiah's reign. How should Christians read this book? Proverbs paints a picture of the world in the kingdom of God and our role in it.

Jonah with Terry Feix

The book of Jonah can easily be relegated as a children's story - or a parable with a moral at the end - but when we revisit the text, Jonah is full of application. Why was Jonah determined not to go to Nineveh? Why does the story end with a question? In this episode we talk through the message of the story and the meaning for today.

Philemon with Terry Feix

Philemon is one of the shortest letters in the New Testament and one of the most important. It's often studied as a letter about slavery, but there is so much more in what Paul has to say to Philemon and Onesimus. What is reconciliation? How can we be peacemakers in the world? Paul presents a vision for reconciliation and peace rooted in the cross.

2 Corinthians with Terry Feix

2 Corinthians may be the most personal of Paul's letters. In it he's defending his apostleship, answering questions, and pleading with the church to continue in the gospel. In this episode, we discuss the background and outline of the letter along with the application for today. 

Missions in Mainland China
