In 2023, I teamed up with Rip Wahlberg to co-host the Discovering God Podcast. Through the Discovering God Podcast, our hope is that individuals will have a direct encounter with God by engaging with the scriptures. Our goal is to help make the scriptures, theology, and faith understandable. If you have not checked out our podcast yet, I would encourage you to check out a few episodes. This podcast is accessible in both audio and video formats, with production and editing handled by Blake Whalberg of In The Wild Media Group.
Over the past year, we have conversed about many topics on the Discovering God Podcast. Some of those topics have ranged from the significance of the church to barriers people face in finding faith, but also exploring subjects such as fame within the church, and the advantages and disadvantages of systematic theology. Recording approximately 13 episodes in 2023, the Discovering God Podcast is gradually expanding its audience. It appears that the video version of our podcast has gained slightly more traction than the audio version.
As I look back at 2023, I found it interesting to reflect on what four episodes were our most popular. Our new podcast may not be able to claim groundbreaking streaming records, but the growing influence of our podcast has been both humbling and unexpected. Additionally, I have found recording this podcast has become a growing experience for me as a teacher and communicator. I am eager for the future of our podcast, and also to share the top 4 video podcasts of the past year (2023) with you.
In this most popular episode, we look at the problem of fame.
Episode 19: Is Deconstruction For You?
In our second most popular episode, we look at deconstruction.
Episode 14: Biblical Theology
In our third most popular episode, we analyze Biblical Theology.
Episode 13: The Pros and Cons of Systematic Theology
In our four most popular episode, we analyze Systematic Theology.
Thank you for joining us on the incredible journey of the Discovering God Podcast throughout 2023. As we reflect on the past year, it's heartening to see the growth and impact so far. In the year ahead, we continue to commit to making scriptures, theology, and faith understandable, providing a platform for direct encounters with God through engaging discussions.
We invite you to watch, like, and subscribe to the Discovering God Podcast. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you. Stay tuned for more engaging content, and thank you for being a part of our growing community.
This is a review of Shattered , a book authored by Rip Wahlberg on surviving and thriving in the worst pains of life. Released in 2023, through Life Rich Publishing , this book follows Rip Wahlberg’s journey after losing his four-year-old son to a tragic drowning accident. Throughout this book, Rip shares the story of losing his son and explores the difficult decisions that followed his death. Even more, Wahlberg unpacks the effect it had on his and his family’s life and faith. Rip also provides a framework and witness to what he learned about God's ability to heal sorrow. This is a short read, just a little over 110 pages, but in no way is it an easy read, as Shattered is full of vulnerability and raw emotional honesty. I do believe that it will be a helpful read for any follower of Jesus who is trapped in their pain or traveling the road of unaddressed sorrow. The reader learns how “pains in our lives become idols that we end up protecting,” and ultimately they keep us from the
This is a book review of How Much Land Does a Man Need by Leo Tolstoy . This 2010 version of How Much Land Does a Man Need was translated by Boris Dralyuk and published by Calypso Editions . As a read, How Much Land Does a Man Need is a short reflective parable from a classic that was first released in 1886. This edition of a lesser celebrated work of Tolstoy is in Russian and English inside the book. Though not one of the most popular translations, Boris Dralyuk translates How Much Land Does a Man Need, a short work of Tolstoy, because of the way it speaks to our seasons that are “marred both environmentally and economically by the consequences of unbridled greed.”[1] To accurately translate Tolstoy into a modern era, his goal was “to recreate Tolstoy’s idiosyncratic voice with as much faith and color as possible.”[2] He mentions the ways he was hoping to capture the “subtly modulated version of what the Russians call skaz” that was utilized by Leo Tolstoy.[3] I agree wit
This is a review of Lennon, Dylan, Alice, & Jesu s by Greg Laurie and Marshall Terrill . Released in 2022 by Salem Books , Lennon, Dylan, Alice, & Jesus is an exhaustive spiritual biography on rock and roll. Authors Greg Laurie and Marshall Terrill tell the tales of many popular musicians who find Jesus on their spiritual search, and when they reach the end of themselves. Music, especially that which emerged through the rock and roll scene, has long been an influence on our societal ethos; it has been the companion for many individuals on their spiritual journey, and it at times has influenced others spiritually. It should not surprise us then that many musicians have taken spiritual sojourns in their private lives, and in the public squares, which has often influenced their songs and musical endeavors. For generations, musicians have been taking their fans on pilgrimage with them. Some of our biggest music celebrities have not only searched for spiritual meaning in very publ
