Episodes
Hope of Resurrection, and Future Mystery
January 01, 2022 05:00 - 15 minutes - 3.49 MBIn this series finale, the Devotional Doctors discuss our future hope in resurrection. We can trust that, experiencing a death like Christ's, we will also have a new life like Christ's. Hope is a peculiar thing - it is a steadfast anchor, but it is also forward-looking toward the as-yet unseen. We can also concede that there is much that we simply do not understand and cannot anticipate. Bryan uses the imagery of a sailboat to describe the uncertainty that the future holds, as we adjust our ...
The Church and the Already-Resurrected Body
December 25, 2021 05:00 - 29 minutes - 6.78 MBSo how does the Scriptural story of resurrection connect to us today? In this episode, JD and Bryan revisit the discussion of resurrection through the Old and New Testaments, and see how Acts and the epistles lay a framework for the church as people of the resurrection. While we look forward to the final resurrection, there is also a sense in which the Christian life is already a new creation. By faith and the deeply symbolic act of baptism, we are transferred from death into glorious life. ...

Jesus' Resurrection (Part 2)
December 11, 2021 12:00 - 20 minutes - 4.82 MBIn this continuation of our series on resurrection, Bryan and JD consider the “otherness” of Jesus’ resurrected body. He continues to bear the scars of the cross, but his resurrection body is also one of kingly glory. And, lest we forget, bodies don’t just naturally resurrect themselves. So what makes the resurrection of Jesus Christ so special? And how does the “otherness” of Jesus help us understand “otherness” in our own resurrection, in the light of Romans 8 or 1 Corinthians 15? There is...
Jesus' Resurrection (Part 1)
December 04, 2021 05:00 - 24 minutes - 5.53 MBJesus Christ arose from the dead! As Christians, we may take that revolutionary statement for granted. Jesus was bodily raised; his resurrected body walked, and breathed, and even ate breakfast! His body was in many ways the same body that hung on the cross and was buried in the tomb. Jesus showed his scars to Thomas and the other disciples. But the gospels are not intended as an analytical, forensic report. What do we make of such a body? And how can we understand our own bodily resurrectio...
Resurrection, Lament, and Psalms
November 27, 2021 05:00 - 23 minutes - 5.39 MBThis week, we consider psalms and laments through the lens of resurrection. When Job, David, or other poets cry out to the Lord from a place of despair, God demonstrates care and power to redeem His people. These poems also represent God's care for the suffering of individuals, peoples, and even all creation. We have spoken before about lament as part of a healthy emotional spectrum; when resurrection is in the picture, we can understand lament as a plea for life out of death. In this podcas...
The Cross and the Resurrection

Resurrection in the Storyline of Scripture
November 13, 2021 05:00 - 19 minutes - 4.53 MBThe theme of resurrection is central to the entire narrative of the Bible. In this conversation, Bryan and JD consider how a restoration through resurrection is seen as a vital component in both Old and New Testaments. Using stories like the Exodus or Joseph’s pit experiences as a framework, we can trace the movement from status quo to the pit of suffering and despair, to restoration and flourishing and blessing others. And of course, we see this resurrection motif brought to its fullness in...
Holistic Well-being and the Problem of Evil
November 06, 2021 04:00 - 13 minutes - 3.17 MBThis week on the Devotional Doctors podcast, JD responds to a set of recent listener questions. As we continue to consider God's holistic care for humanity as bearers of the divine image, what do we do with the problem of evil? Certainly, the righteous suffer. Sometimes chronic illness wracks the body, in apparent tension with growth of the spirit. So is the human experience connected in a holistic way, or not? In this short episode, JD provides some discussion for the following questions: H...
Confession and Community
October 30, 2021 12:00 - 24 minutes - 5.64 MBLast week, we looked at how prayer and healing are connected in James 5. In today's podcast episode, the Devotional Doctors reflect on the confession of sin. When we admit weakness or sin, what does that do for our relationship with God, or with others? Whom is confession really intended to benefit? We discuss how confession plays an important part in the "diagnosis and treatment" of our spiritual ills, and how this contributes to a lived-out faith in Jesus Christ. And we consider some advic...
James 5: Prayer, Medicine, and Healing
October 23, 2021 04:00 - 19 minutes - 4.48 MBIs anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. -- James 5:14-16 In James 5, the author speaks to t...
Salvation and Wholeness
October 16, 2021 14:00 - 19 minutes - 4.51 MBWe have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved. But what does salvation really mean? What are we saved from? And what are we saved for? The Bible tells a story of salvation. Situations of injustice, brokenness, and sin cause God's people to cry out for relief. And God answers, from the Exodus to the judges and kings. But hope for fuller restoration and salvation leads us to Jesus Christ as savior. In this podcast episode, we consider the ways in which Jesus is the culmination of the ...
Perseverance and Time Under Tension
October 09, 2021 14:00 - 21 minutes - 5.05 MBPerseverance and endurance bring to mind being under pressure or a load, over an extended time. But what does it really look like to persevere in the Christian walk? In this episode, JD and Bryan look at the Christian virtues of patient endurance, perseverance, and longsuffering. We look at Scriptural examples of endurance for the right attitudes to bring to long-standing pain, stress, or strain. We discuss the tension between the 'light yoke' and 'cross' language of the New Testament, and u...
Mephibosheth: Injured but Invited
October 02, 2021 13:00 - 15 minutes - 3.48 MBThe Old Testament story of King David, Jonathan, and Mephibosheth offers a fascinating shadow of the kingdom of Jesus. Mephibosheth is a wounded outsider, but through the mercy and covenant faithfulness of King David, he is adopted and provided a seat at the royal table. Sound familiar? In this episode of the Devotional Doctors podcast, we consider how we too are injured and unworthy to appear before King Jesus, but are adopted as children and offered a seat at the Lord's Table. But not only...
Was Blind but Now I See
September 25, 2021 13:00 - 19 minutes - 4.48 MBFrom the opening pages of Scripture, God is portrayed with light and brilliance and beauty. When we become Christians, we become people of vision, rather than stumbling in darkness. So how can we be granted this spiritual sight? In this episode of the Devotional Doctors podcast, we discuss Jesus' healing of the blind in John 9 and Mark 8, and how we as Christians can see ourselves in the powerful healing story of Jesus. We also meditate on how we can have the eyes of our hearts opened and en...
Joy in the Present and Presence of God
September 18, 2021 12:00 - 25 minutes - 5.85 MBDo we find joy in the things we do? More vitally, do we find joy in the Christian walk? In this episode, Bryan and JD draw the distinctions between past fulfillment, present joy, and future hope. And Bryan brings to light now we are to live out of the gospel of Jesus - the good news - and how that offers us present joy even in the midst of suffering, just as it did for early Christians. It is our hope that you are able to find joy in this message! For more about us, visit www.facebook.com/d...
Growth Through Experiencing Limitations
September 12, 2021 15:00 - 28 minutes - 6.62 MBAs humans, we all experience limitation. We have limitations in how much we can physically lift or exert, or emotionally feel, or spiritually read or meditate. But how do our experiences "at our limits" shape our personal growth? If we disregard our limitations, we set up injury or burnout. If we flee from recognized personal boundaries, we grow apathetic or lethargic. But we can learn from the example of Jesus Christ the middle way of balance. And by exposing our limitations, and recognizin...
Putting on the New Man, and "The Undragoning of Eustace"
September 04, 2021 13:00 - 16 minutes - 3.91 MBIn CS Lewis's "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", Eustace is shown to be a very dragonish little boy. And he is unable to become fully human by the use of his own dragon claws. Only the transformative healing of Aslan can restore Eustace to himself. Likewise, Christians are instructed to put on the new man and new way of life in Jesus Christ. But accomplishing that through strength of human will is a futile endeavor. How can we learn to allow Jesus and the Holy Spirit to change us? Join us as ...
Trauma, Grief, and the Body of Christ

Honor, Shame, Nakedness, and the Body
August 14, 2021 18:00 - 29 minutes - 6.78 MB"And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." - Gen 2:25 When we consider the image of the human body, do we typically connote shame? Why is that? In today's conversation, the Devotional Doctors discuss the difficult issue of shame and the body, including ideas on covering, modesty, and honor. With the right Biblical perspective, the shared bodily experience can be held with a collective dignity rather than a shared sense of humiliation toward despicable fleshly bodies. E...
Healthy Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation
August 07, 2021 13:00 - 29 minutes - 6.78 MBPart of the human condition is the inevitability of conflict. From wars between people groups, to the experience of multiple simultaneous emotions, it would seem that the stories our very lives are defined by differences. But Jesus has come to bring peace. So how can we learn to resolve conflict in healthy and productive ways? In the story of Scripture, God is at work resolving the conflicts caused by chaos and sin; what role do we play in the work of God through Jesus Christ? In this conver...
Scientific Study and Faith, with Grace Salzer PhD
July 31, 2021 11:00 - 22 minutes - 5.23 MBThis episode is an interview with Grace Salzer, a research scientist currently studying taste and the response of human tissue to flavored medication. In this conversation, we look at the ways in which science helps us to analyze and understand the created order. We also think about some of the ways in which a worldview which is informed only by science falls short. An understanding of the world that takes into consideration scientific research as well as a faithful sense of the divine allow...
Pleasure and Foretaste
July 24, 2021 11:00 - 27 minutes - 6.42 MBToday we consider the place of pleasurable emotions in the Christian walk. On one side, hedonism would encourage the indulgence of all desires; on the other, asceticism refuses all pleasures and enjoyments as dangerous. But the life of Christ shows us a better way. There are blessings from God in the created order that are meant to be enjoyed, and that enjoyment serves a purpose - to orient us toward God. We discuss how "eternal ideas" such as rest or a good meal are used in Scripture to tea...
The Gospel of Wholeness, with Ryan Cummings PhD
July 17, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 6.95 MBWhat is the gospel? How do the Biblical authors use the language of good news? On today's episode of the Devotional Doctors podcast, Ryan Cummings rejoins us to look at Isaiah's use of gospel in Isaiah 52-53. Together we consider the ramifications of the good news of the Lord's Kingdom, and how that contributes to a thorough understanding of the healing and redemption that God provides. The true gospel message is not solely one of individualistic salvation, but rather the fundamentally diffe...
Emotional Integration and Emotional Love
July 10, 2021 10:00 - 19 minutes - 4.47 MBThis is the second half of last week's episode on emotional health. In this week's discussion, JD and Bryan consider how to integrate our emotional selves, as people made in the image of a God who experiences emotions. We also discuss the connections between emotion, love, and relationship, as presented in the Scriptures. Some emotions might seem to be "good" or "bad" feelings, but how does God feel about our feelings? Listen, subscribe, and share with others as we continue to pursue health ...
Emotional Health and Well-Being
July 03, 2021 10:00 - 22 minutes - 5.09 MBThis episode is the first in a series on the connections between emotion and physical and spiritual health. In this conversation, JD and Bryan consider the range of human emotions, and why we are so reluctant to share our feelings, or often even feel them. We also discuss the ties between emotions and physical manifestation, such as blood pressure, posture, and pain. And we look at whether emotion can be best understood as an external function (to be controlled) or an internal function (to b...
Philosophy and Poetry, with Abe & Sam Peters
June 26, 2021 13:00 - 35 minutes - 8.17 MBHow do poetic and philosophical approaches help us to understand the true nature of things? In this episode of the Devotional Doctors podcast, Bryan interviews brothers Abe and Sam Peters, who co-host the "Poets & Philosophers" podcast. Together, they explore some of the questions behind the great tradition, and how these different ways of understanding integrate mind with body and spirit. We look at how image- or story-based poetry differs from rhyme-and-meter poetry. And we see examples in...
Flexibility of Faith
June 19, 2021 10:00 - 26 minutes - 5.98 MBWhat does it mean to be stretched, to increase our elasticity? How can we come to understand flexibility as a useful spiritual discipline? In this conversation, the Devotional Doctors talk about the ability to stretch ourselves, both physically as well as spiritually. If we are to have a living and moving faith, we must allow for growth and stretch rather than the sedentary rigidity of being stuck in our ways. We must learn how to allow ourselves to be pushed into discomfort or unfamiliar ra...
Hearts Filled with the Word, with Emerson Brown and Jeff O'Rear
June 12, 2021 12:00 - 34 minutes - 7.86 MBIf we understand that the Bible is the Word of God, why is Bible reading so hard? On today's episode, Jeff O'Rear and Emerson Brown join us to talk about the vitality of coming to know God through the Scriptures. Jeff and Emerson are cohosts of the "Working With The Word" podcast, where they have spent time discussing inductive Bible reading and seeing Jesus Christ painted in all portions of Scripture. In our interview, they provide some advice on demonstrating endurance, patience, and grace...
The Long Nose of God: Slowness to Anger
June 05, 2021 14:00 - 25 minutes - 5.96 MBDid you know that the Scriptures depict the God as having a long nose? that it's part of the holy name of God revealed to Moses on Sinai? So what in the world does it mean for God to have a long nose? In today's podcast conversation, JD and Bryan discuss God's longsuffering, patience, and slowness to anger. God, who is slow to anger, is enduring in covenant faithfulness toward His people; as the people God, how can we mirror this character of slowness to anger in disciplining our emotions, t...
Hypocrisy: Learning to Remove Our Masks
May 29, 2021 22:00 - 21 minutes - 4.96 MBIn this launch of Season 5 of the Devotional Doctors podcast, Bryan and JD discuss the idea of wearing masks - though not the paper and fabric masks of the past year. Outside the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, all people tend to put on masking behaviors, making a presentation how we wish to be perceived. The masks of hypocrisy are connected to our self-perception, our defined identity, and motivations of fitting in. But when we are able to find our most authentic identity in Jesus Christ,...

Work - Rest Balance
April 17, 2021 11:00 - 17 minutes - 4.07 MBMany of us tend toward far too much or too little work; we find identity and value in busyness and doing. This has been truer than ever during the COVID-19 crisis. But these attitudes toward work manifest themselves in all kinds of illnesses, injuries, and unhealthiness. How might the Scriptures help us to find balance with healthy attitudes toward work and labor, as well as Sabbath rest? This episode also closes season 4 of the Devotional Doctors podcast. We will be taking a temporary rest,...
Christians as the Hands of Jesus, with Beth Fleenor OTR
April 10, 2021 13:00 - 25 minutes - 5.77 MBJD interviews Beth Fleenor, an occupational therapist and one of JD's coworkers. Beth is an occupational therapist who works with lots of hand trauma, and she lends a special insight into the Biblical language of hands. Hands do, and work, and are pivotal to so many tasks. So how can Christians understand our work as a "hands-on" ministry? How can we look for God's hand at work in the world today? And how can our acts of service, or even acts of rest, be a blessing and reflection of God in t...
Harmony in the Church Body, with Narrow Way
April 03, 2021 10:00 - 33 minutes - 7.67 MBIn this episode of the Devotional Doctors podcast, we are joined by three members of the a cappella group Narrow Way: Jerry Tesch (lead), Thayne Washburn (alto), and Brandon Trout (bass). They use their musical experiences to teach us about working together in God's church. We consider how selfishness, distance, and "solo" attitudes become barriers to harmony. And they show how the "sheet music" of the Bible helps to unify Christians all on the same page. For more about us, visit www.devoti...
Digital Discipleship and Communication, with Dr Kenny Embry
March 27, 2021 23:00 - 34 minutes - 7.98 MBDigital communication is here to stay; it’s foolhardy to think that it would be done away with. So how should Christians use online media to participate in the kingdom of Christ? On today’s episode of the Devotional Doctors podcast, Dr Kenny Embry joins us to talk about digital discipleship, one of the focuses of his podcast, Balancing the Christian Life. We discuss some of great blessings that digital communication offers to its users, but also some of the problems when the users’ attention...

Come Feast Upon the Word of God, with Brenda Richardson RDN
March 20, 2021 16:00 - 34 minutes - 7.82 MBWhat do we consume, and why? In today's podcast episode, Brenda Richardson joins the Devotional Doctors to discuss healthy diet, and how the Scriptures can guide our attitude toward what we eat. We also contemplate the symbols and contexts around eating, and look at how food as part of God's good creation offers us opportunity for stewardship. We close by considering how different people require different diets, and how the same might be true in spiritual contexts as well. We hope this episo...
Beauty, Goodness, and Truth
March 13, 2021 11:00 - 20 minutes - 4.62 MBSo if we are to pursue beauty in our lives, what do we mean by beauty? And how does evil oppose the beautiful efforts of goodness and truth? On today's episode, we ponder what makes a person, place, or thing beautiful. We look to the Scriptures to see how evil and calamity work to tear down beauty, and how God's restorative work through Jesus Christ renews beauty. And we spend a few moments contemplating how taking the time to reflect and admire beauty around us ultimately points us toward G...

Holy Sex, Safe Boundaries, and Christ's Faithfulness, with Gary Fisher
February 20, 2021 16:00 - 35 minutes - 8.04 MBIn today's release of the Devotional Doctors podcast, we interview Gary Fisher. Gary has decades of experience counseling and guiding young men in the area of sexual purity. Fidelity and faithfulness in our marriages are meant to point to God's everlasting covenant faithfulness. How can we direct these conversations about sexual principles, balancing tact, clarity, and grace? Gary guides us in understanding marital sex as part of God's "very good" creation, meant for God's glory and our bles...
God's Artistry and Creative Beauty, with Thailer & Amber Jimerson
February 13, 2021 15:00 - 29 minutes - 6.81 MBThailer and Amber Jimerson return to the Devotional Doctors podcast this week to discuss the intersection of art and religion. When we read the music of Psalms, or the poetry of Isaiah, or the literature of the New Testament epistles, do we see God working beauty in His message to us? In this conversation, we consider how different artistic media are portrayed in Scripture - poetry, music, visual arts, and even performance art. And Amber and Thailer help us to understand the role of differen...
