So We Speak

The Book of Titus with Terry Feix

The pastoral epistles present a vision of ministry in the first-century church. Paul developed and employed young pastors, sent them out for short-term missions, and then launched them into church leadership. The letter to Titus underscores the connection between doctrine and character and encourages each of us to do our part in building up the church. 

Looking Ahead: Personhood and Ethics with Terry Feix

In this second episode on looking ahead, Cole and Terry discuss the issues on the horizon for the church. What does it mean to be a human being? How has our culture distorted the notion of the self? 

Looking Ahead: Personal Holiness with Terry Feix

To mark three years of So We Speak, we're looking back and looking ahead for what God has in store. In this episode, Cole and Terry discuss the importance of personal holiness in the church and in the culture. 

Exodus Part 2 with Terry Feix

In the second half of Exodus, we get into conversations about Moses, the Law, and what God might have to teach us today through Israel's stay at Mount Sinai. If the main theme of Exodus is the presence of God, how can we apply that to our lives today?

Exodus Part 1 with Terry Feix

The way we read and understand the Exodus influences the way we read the rest of the Bible. The events in Ex. 1-18 set the stage for the law, the promised land, and the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. But there are also some difficult questions in these chapters. Who hardened Pharaoh's heart? Where is Mount Sinai? Why did God bring plagues on Egypt? We discuss each of these questions and more on this episode. 

Colossians with Terry Feix

The letter to Colossians touches on almost all of the themes in Paul's letters. In this episode, we discuss the background of the church in Colossae, the major themes of the letter, and some of the difficult passages. 

Stewardship, Writing, and Productivity with Cole Feix

We're turning the tables in this episode and talking to Cole about productivity and writing as Christian stewardship. 

Here are a few of the books we mention in this episode:

Crazy Busy - Kevin DeYoung

Ploductivity - Douglas Wilson

Deep Work - Cal Newport

 

Job (Revisited) with Terry Feix

The book of Job is one of the richest and most perplexing books in the Bible. We've done an overview of Job before, but in this episode, we revisit some of the deeper questions and discuss other important themes. 

Paul in Perspective with Jarrett Ford

Who was Paul and how should we interpret his writings? In recent years, the New Perspective on Paul has redefined some of the fundamental questions in Paul's letters. Was Paul's background Jewish, Greek, or both? What is the relationship between grace and law? Are we saved by faith, works, or both? Cole Feix and Jarrett Ford discuss these trends in Paul's letter and a series of articles Jarrett has written for So We Speak.
