9.14 - Food: The Heart of the Meals

Who do you eat with? Sinners? Tax collectors? Church leaders and influencers? Today, the guys survey the wider narrative of meals presented in the New Testament in hopes of enriching our understanding of the Last Supper.

9.13 - Food: Setting the Table

What is the Lord's Supper? Who can partake in it? What is it about? In today's episode, the guys set the table for how the Bible speaks about food, festival, and feast. Pull up a chair and prepare to dig into what the Bible has to say about food, as we begin to unpack the Lord's Supper.

9.12 - Hot Take: When a Christian Falls

When another Christian falls in a big way on the public stage, what is the responsibility of the broader Christian community? Do we have an obligation to respond right away and offer our perspective? And what is the Christian perspective? Do we do it publicly or privately? How do we handle the unfortunate moral failings of our brothers and sisters in the faith in a way that still offers a Christian witness that ultimately glorifies Christ? Francis Chan has weighed in on a major event, and in today's episode the guys explore a biblical approach to responding to the events of our time. After laying that groundwork, Sam, John, and Ron weigh in on Francis Chan's stance and run it through the broader scriptural witness. Tune in to today's episode of the After Class Podcast and see if your gut reactions align with what Scripture calls us to be as witnesses.

9.11 - Truth: The Way of Life

Is the truth in you?  Are you one who loves in deed and truth, obeying what Jesus has commanded? Or do you find yourself often falling into the trap of lip service and well-meaning thoughts instead? Truth is action, and in today's episode the guys follow suit with some of the stronger warnings in Scripture that call us to a way of life grounded in truth. But where is life found? With so many voices proclaiming the best way to live out your journey of life to the fullest, how do we discern what is true? Like the Greek philosophers, do you seek a truth and way of life that can be applied to all people? Join the guys in today's episode as they conclude the series on truth and zero in on how it reveals itself in our lives—or how it doesn't.

9.10 - Truth: Is He the Way?

Today the guys reach the completion of John's Gospel. Truth is framed through the new revelation brought to us in Christ as we grow beyond the need for a pedagogue under the law and into the living way. But how did Christ, in His conversation with the Jewish people, communicate this—and how did they receive it? Perhaps more importantly, what do we do with it today? Why did Jesus unite the way, the truth, and the life? We are told the Spirit of truth will come, speak, and instruct us. The question is: are you paying attention—or just thinking about Rome?
