The Book of Nahum with Terry Feix

Nahum isn't studied very often, but he gives us a stunning picture of the character of God. It's easy to forget that God is Lord, not just over the church, but over the whole world. With some historical background, the book of Nahum comes alive and shows that God rules over nations, kings, and empires.

The Book of Jeremiah with Terry Feix

In the book of Jeremiah, we get one of the most intimate portraits in Scripture. Through his calling, questioning, suffering, and proclamation of a new covenant, Jeremiah ties the entire Bible together around his life of everyday faithfulness. This week, we discuss all that we can learn from this extraordinary prophet.

The Book of Habakkuk with Terry Feix

Habakkuk is one of the best known of the minor prophets. His prayer shows the inner life of the Old Testament prophet, and God's answers to his prayers gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to trust God when things don't turn out the way we hope.

Churches, Charities, and Beto O'Rourke with Terry Feix

This week during the CNN LGBTQ town hall, Beto O'Rourke said he would strip churches, charities, schools, and their religious organization of their tax-exempt status if they wouldn't adhere to the progressive vision of marriage and sexuality. While he may be an outlier in American society, his comments raise important issues for believers. Why do we believe that churches should be tax exempt? How would it affect our society if they didn't? We discuss these questions and others on this week's episode of the So We Speak podcast.
