How do you apply the Old Testament to your life today? And which of the laws are applicable to us today? It is a common feeling that the OT is primarily just laws, but what if we are wrong? What if tucked in those laws is a message we are missing?

We are continuing our discussion this week of the Old Testament's relevance to our lives.

Join Dr. Joseph Cathey, professor of the OT and former archaeologist as we discuss in part 2 of our interview the relevance of the OT to us today as we examine which Old Testament apply to us today and what God's heart is with these laws.

Have you ever struggled to understand what the OT is saying? Determining meaning of Scripture can be difficult when we have the bridge of time and culture to cross.

It is a common feeling that the OT is primarily just laws, but what if we are wrong? What if tucked in those laws is a message we are missing?

Join Dr. Joseph Cathey, professor of the OT and former archaeologist as we discuss in part 1 of our interview the relevance of the OT to us today and look at what hinders us from seeing its relevance.

A lack of desire coupled with a lack of understanding of the nature of God and His purposes in the Old Testament can cause us to miss the significance of the Old Tesstament.

Listen in as we unpack why the Old Testament matters in this compelling interview and leave a comment to share your thoughts on the Old Testament.

These days, people seem so polarized about what the Word of God says, which calls into question how we approach the study of Scripture. How do you study the Bible? What are your presuppositions? Do you come to study the Bible already knowing what you want it to say? Do you approach Scripture by looking at what others have said about it? Do you take from the Biblical text itself? Or do you come praying and asking God for insight, knowing we have none on our own? Listen in as we discuss how to study our Bible on this week's episode of Theology at Home.

In a recent Gallup Poll, a record-low 20% of Americans now say the Bible is the literal word of God. This Gallup poll also found that a new high of 29% say the Bible is a collection of “fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man.” This marks the first time more Americans have viewed the Bible as not divinely inspired than as the literal word of God. Is the Bible really true? How can we know that it is? And why does this matter? That’s today’s discussion on Theology at Home.

If we don’t believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the Bible is still authoritative in our lives. Listen in as we examine Scripture, extrabiblical sources, scholar's views, and unpack the proof of Scripture.

I have heard it said in recent years that we are all theologians. My response to this statement is a question: What kind of theologian are you?

Why does Theology matter? Theology matters because what we believe shapes our lives. Sound biblical theology makes sense of our suffering.

What we believe about God reframes our suffering and drastically impacts how we live.

Our theology ought to frame up our expectations for this life. Not the other way around. Our expectations should not shape our theology.

Join me next year as we embark on this new podcast in an inspiring and exciting adventure: applying theology at home first, then transforming the culture around us!
