What do you do when you find yourself in enemy mode in your own family? With your spouse? With your kids? Travis welcomes Jim Wilder back to the show to discuss how to escape enemy mode in marriage, and this time, Travis' wife, Melissa, joins him! It's a conversation that helps equip us to recognize when we go into enemy mode in our marriage or with our kids, and how we can find a way out.

#191 | How Do We Disciple In A Multicultural World? Pt. 1 | Ajith Fernando

July 11, 2023 06:00 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MB

Does discipleship look the same in every culture? How does it look different? How has globalization made things similar? Is discipleship a program? A relationship? Or both? How do we disciple those who may come from a different background than us? These are just some of the questions that come into our minds whenever we talk about the subject of discipleship in our modern world with special guest Ajith Fernando as we discuss Discipling in a Multicultural World (Cross, 2019). Ajith serves as...

#190 | Listening, Loving, and Learning Their Names | Sabrina Chan & Linson Daniel

July 07, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 77.9 MB

If the supremacy of Jesus is to be seen in the church in the West, then it means learning how to live together as Christ's followers from those who come from different backgrounds than us. In the West, Caucasians still make up the majority of the culture, but as our culture becomes more and more diverse, it becomes imperative that we learn to listen and learn from our brothers and sisters from around the world so that we might together be the people God intended, a sign of heaven. Often ti...

#189 | Savoring Scripture | Andy Abernethy

July 04, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 117 MB

Are you bored reading your Bible? I know you feel guilty in saying that, but we all experience boredom every once in a while. We know that God is not boring, nor is His Word, but we get bored due to a variety of factors. We get confused, we don't know always what to read or what a text means and that's when we need a guide. Travis welcomes Old Testament professor Dr. Andy Abernethy to the show as they discuss his book Savoring Scripture. In addition, to being an Old Testament professor at ...

#188 | The Emotions of God, Pt. 2 | David T. Lamb

June 30, 2023 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MB

Does God hate? What does that mean? How does God love the sinner and hate the sin when biblically the two seem connected (Revelation 21:8)? Does God get envious or jealous? God's jealousy disturbed Oprah so much that she left Christianity behind. But is God jealous? And if so, is that wrong? How does our jealousy differ from His? Travis and Dr. David T. Lamb continue their discussion on his new book, The Emotions of God (IVP, 2022). Dr. Lamb is the MacRae Professor of Old Testament Dean of...

#187 | The Emotions of God, Pt. 1 | David T. Lamb

June 27, 2023 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

Does God get emotional? Does that sound strange? It isn't. We talk about God's emotions all the time. Isn't love an emotion? God is love, but the Bible also says that God hates (Proverbs 6:16-19). That begs the question: does God have other emotions? What are the emotions of God? Is there more than love and hate? Does God get sad? How does God feel compassion? Is God mad at you? Does God ever feel afraid? Surprise? Fear? Is God emotional? What does that mean for us who are made in His image?...

#186 | The Toxic War on Masculinity, Pt. 2 | Nancy Pearcey

June 23, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.3 MB

Travis and Nancy continue their conversation on the war on toxic masculinity. They discuss what biblical masculinity is and what it's not, what a "good man" is, the shape of the home, the industrial revolution, and some of the differences the data reveals between men and women. Nancy shows how the Bible gives a vision of masculinity that is actually not toxic, instead, it is healthy, wonderful, and necessary for the success of society. Nancy Pearcey is the author of the upcoming book The To...

#185 | The Toxic War on Masculinity, Pt. 1 | Nancy Pearcey

June 20, 2023 09:00 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MB

Two words: Toxic masculinity. It seems to be everywhere, from secular newspapers to Christian bookstores carry articles discussing toxic masculinity and for many the root of it, or one of the biggest culprits anyway, is Christian men. Is Christian masculinity toxic? We know that pundits are saying so, but what about the actual data? And what about the data from those who are not Christians? What does THAT data say? For many, subjects such as masculinity and femininity have become battlegro...

#184 | Once You See: Seven Temptations of the Western Church, Pt. 2 | Jeff Christopherson

June 16, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB

In this second part of the conversation, Travis and Jeff discuss the mindset shift needed to embrace God's work in the world today. What is that shift? Can anyone make it?

Jeff is an author, leader, speaker, missiologist, and movement catalyst. He has served as the Executive Director of the Canadian National Baptist...

#183 | Once You See: Seven Temptations of the Western Church, Pt. 1 | Jeff Christopherson

June 13, 2023 09:00 - 52 minutes - 47.9 MB

What happens when Jesus refugees from the majority world enter into a megachurch in the south? Have you seen God work in churches in the West in similar ways that we hear about in the majority world? Are pastors in the West today more concerned about the Sunday experience and the metrics of growth that they really don't know how to "make disciples"? Jeff Christopherson addresses this and so much more in his newest book, Once You See: Seven Temptations of the Western Church: A Novel (100 Mo...

#182 | The Evangelical Imagination, Pt. 2 | Karen Swallow Prior

June 09, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.6 MB

Is the Christian ideal that we aspire to in our lives really Christian? In our families? In what we do pursue? How do we separate the Gospel from the evangelical culture? And what happens when you address these things in our evangelical institutions? This week on Apollos Watered, we finish off our conversation about Karen's forthcoming book, The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis (Brazos 2023). Travis and Karen talk about all things evan...

#181 | The Evangelical Imagination, Pt. 1 | Karen Swallow Prior

June 06, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MB

What is the "good life" to you? Is it the American Dream? Is it the kids getting a good education and job? What about the family? Taking a vacation someplace exotic on spring break? Where did we get these ideas on the good life from? Are they biblical? Karen Swallow Prior has some pretty good ideas! Travis and Karen discuss her forthcoming book, The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis (Brazos 2023). They discuss how we developed this idea ...

#180 | The Joy Switch, Pt. 2 | Chris Coursey

June 02, 2023 09:00 - 56 minutes - 51.5 MB

Travis & Chris Coursey continue our conversation from Part 1, but this time, in Part 2, we go deeper into joy and how we cultivate it. What do we do when our joy switch gets turned off? What are some practical things that we can do to step back into joy? Listen in and find out! Chris Coursey is an ordained minister, pastoral counselor, published author, and international speaker. He is also the curriculum designer and leader of THRIVE training which uses creative, interactive exercises to...

#179 | The Joy Switch, Pt. 1 | Chris Coursey

May 30, 2023 09:00 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MB

How is it that some people can know everything about the Bible and know zero about relationships? How do we actually engage with people when they annoy us? How do we tune out of relationships? What has joy got to do with all of this? And moreover, what does any of this have to do with the mission of God? Chris Coursey has an idea! Chris Coursey is an ordained minister, pastoral counselor, published author, and international speaker. He is also the curriculum designer and leader of THRIVE tr...

#178 | Magnetic Points With Our Culture Pt. 2 | Daniel Strange

May 26, 2023 09:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

Travis and Daniel continue their conversation about the magnetic points that are in every person and every culture that act as a bridge to the Gospel. They also talk about J.H. Bavinck, and how we all need to look at the methods of missiologists so that we might learn how to reach our friends and neighbors with the Gospel. Daniel Strange is director of Crosslands Forum and the vice president of The Southgate Fellowship. He is one of the inaugural fellows of The Keller Center for Cultural A...

#177 | Magnetic Points With Our Culture Pt. 1 | Daniel Strange

May 23, 2023 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MB

How do you connect with people in the world who don't know Jesus and don't want to hear about Jesus?

#176 | The Air We Breathe | Glen Scrivener

May 19, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MB

What do freedom, kindness, progress, and equality have in common? We have them because of Christianity. Most don't realize that the very benefits that they have in our modern culture come directly as a result of the Christian faith-so says Glen Scrivener. It's those connection points that create a bridge that can help our unbelieving friends to cross to full faith in Jesus Christ. Glen Scrivener is an ordained Church of England minister and evangelist who preaches Christ through writing, s...

#175 | Eating Theology With The World | Gene Green

May 17, 2023 02:15 - 1 hour - 81 MB

Is theology a one-time thing? Or is it something that we do? How do we "do" theology? Part of following Jesus, and desiring to see His kingdom expand in the hearts and minds of men and women all over the world, means learning how to follow Christ and show Christ's love in various cultural contexts. It starts with the Word of God, the Bible, and when we learn the Word of God, we learn how to teach the Word of God and how to apply it as we encounter various cultural forces. This is why we need...

#174 | Spiritual Abuse | Michael J. Kruger

May 12, 2023 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MB

What did James MacDonald, Mark Driscoll, and Bill Hybels have in common? They were all guilty of spiritual abuse. We have all heard of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, just to name a few, but spiritual abuse? Spiritual abuse is the most incipient of abuses, but it happens all the time. What exactly is spiritual abuse? What are the signs? How do we differentiate spiritual abuse from true godliness and leadership? Michael J. Kruger has some words of wisdom to help guide us into this very...

#173 | Becoming the Church | Bishop Claude Alexander

May 09, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MB

Can you have Jesus without the church? The answer is an unequivocal and resounding, "No." Travis welcomes Bishop Claude Alexander to the show as they discuss how we are becoming the church, how we have to allow room to process, not give up on the church but press on, and seek to be unified because that is one of the greatest signs to the world that Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It's a fun conversation between two men who deeply love Jesus' church and want to see it not only s...

#172 | Transfigure Your Imagination, Pt. 2 | Malcolm Guite

May 05, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MB

Imagination awakens knowledge and stirs the soul to seek God. We need to learn how to tap into this very powerful gift and tool that God has given us and learn how to use it for His glory. In this second conversation, Travis talks with Malcolm Guite about the imagination and how God desires to use it. Malcolm is an English poet, songwriter, Anglican priest, and recently retired professor from Cambridge. He is truly one of a kind-cross John Donne, Jerry Garcia, and put him on the back of a ...

#171 | Transfigure Your Imagination, Pt. 1 | Malcolm Guite

May 02, 2023 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

Have you ever felt stuck? Like you can't go anywhere. You can't make progress, you can't go back, and you just are stuck where you are? Sometimes we need to tap into our imaginations as Jesus did. The imagination is a powerful tool-from running scared through potential hazards or leading us into a world of dreams, our imaginations can be used for good or for ill. But what does it look like to cultivate a truly Christian imagination? Malcolm has an idea! Malcolm is an English poet, songwrit...

#170 | Polycentric Missiology: Everyone to Everywhere | Allen Yeh

April 28, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.3 MB

What is the center of Christianity? Is there one? Which continent got the gospel first? How did the Gospel spread around the world? What does it mean to be "ecumenical"? Who is considered the father of modern missions? What does it mean to be on mission? What does it mean to work together for the gospel? What is the difference between evangelism and discipleship? How do we go about "doing" theology? What does it mean to "do" theology? And how is mission the mother of theology? These are just...

#169 | Anything Is Possible | Joby Martin

April 25, 2023 14:30 - 1 hour - 72.2 MB

Is God still in the miracle business? What do the miracles of Jesus in the New Testament tell us about who God is today? What has that to do with us?

#166 | Biblical Critical Theory, Pt. 1 | Christopher Watkin

April 18, 2023 09:00 - 54 minutes - 49.9 MB

Have you ever sat in a philosophy class and wondered, "How in the world does this fit within the Gospel?" or "How can I explain the Gospel when it has to answer all these questions?" If you have ever heard the names of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, or Friedrich Nietzsche, then you know that they have a huge role in shaping the thought currents and structures in our world today. Thoughts shape lives and their work has given shape to terms we use every day: postmodernity, post-truth, decon...

Travis welcomes Trevin Wax back to the show as they delve into the subject of orthodoxy.

March 24, 2023 09:00 - 49 minutes - 67.8 MB

In the second part of our conversation where Travis and Mark continue their discussion of evangelicalism. What happens when what we claim we believe doesn’t match up with the way we live? When we claim to believe in a new birth through Christ but still cling to beliefs, ways of looking at the world and even actions that are a lot worse than problematic?  What caused evangelicalism to become so politicized in the US? should we even call ourselves evangelicals anymore? If you thought part ...

March 21, 2023 09:00 - 53 minutes - 73.3 MB

We welcome Mark Noll to the show! Travis and Mark discuss evangelicalism, what it is, who fits the label, and what the label means globally speaking. The term "evangelical" has become ubiquitous, with it being coopted by various groups and media to the point that some no longer want to use the term. Should we use it? What does it even mean? And what does it mean for us today? It would be lovely if the lines were nice and neat, but almost like everything else in our world today, it's complica...
