Raising teenagers to love Jesus is a delicate job. Of course, we want our kids to follow Jesus, but how exactly do we go about that? And how to we measure up to all of the expectations around family devotions, prayer, Bible reading, and other spiritual disciplines? And how to we balance these against the developmental needs of our teens who are slowly taking the reigns of their own lives? Today we take an honest look at our journey so far and reflect on how the process has gone to date. We invite you to join the conversation on social media and share some of your own experiences!

Psalm 110 might be one of the linchpin chapters of the entire Bible. It reaches back to foundational texts in Genesis, grounds itself in the Davidic monarchy, and culminates in the personhood of Jesus as described by the author of Hebrews. This is a text screaming for a closer look. We invite you to join us!

The seven deadly sins aren’t really talked about these days. Instead, morality is often boiled down to love, tolerance, and civility. Yet, when we take a deeper look, things like pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth are just as relevant as they ever were. What would it mean to take these seriously again? Come join us for this conversation and our ongoing Summer in the Psalms series!

YHWH Sabaoth is featured prominently in Psalm 84, but its warrior image doesn’t seem to fit the overall tone of the Psalm. What’s going on here? In this week’s episode, we venture an alternative take on this and other images from Psalm 84. We invite your comments and feedback as we do! What do you make of this wonderful Psalm?

Psalm 1
JOT (Josh from Oregon Translation)
Happy is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked and does not stand in the way of sinners and does not sit in the gathering place of scoffers.
But he delights in Yahweh’s instructionand on his instruction he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that gives its fruit in its season and its leaf does not witherand all that he does prospers.
Not so the wicked.For they are like chaff that the wind blows.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgmentnor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For Yahweh considers the way of the righteousbut the way of the wicked will die off.

Is a fresh take on the Good Samaritan story possible? What if we were invited to see this story through the eyes of an often overlooked character? How might this parable be speaking to us today? Special thanks to Pastor Chase Replogle of Bent Oak Church for preaching a compelling sermon that we discuss on today’s episode.

Are the beatitudes meant to be a set of moral imperatives that we should strive for? Or are they somehow a blessing to the “sat upon, spat upon, ratted on”? What does the context of the sermon on the mount teach us about how the beatitudes should be read? Come join the conversation on both the beatitudes and this week’s Psalms reading.

Josh and Josh(ua)
Let us begin by saying that we have very few pictures of us together since most of our friendship after college has been on opposite sides of the country. We couldn't be more proud that this is one of the few that we have.
So what do you do when you live on opposite coasts? You talk - a lot. For 20 years we've been talking life, history, theology, Christian living, marriage, and parenting. At the heart of it, we believe friendship is a vehicle for soul formation. So we take it all seriously even if we don't always take ourselves so seriously. Check out Episode 0 for a brief introduction to us and to our show.
Our podcast is an invitation for you to join the conversation. Every week we'll delve into a new topic and then open the floor for listeners to join the conversation on social media. www.facebook.com/onthephonewithjosh // www.instagram.com/onthephonewithjosh // www.twitter.com/joshes_t
