Channel ini di-host oleh Pendeta Heru Lin & Pendeta Jethro, dua pribadi yang seperti langit dan bumi, namun dipersatukan oleh kecintaan mereka akan Firman Tuhan. Kami percaya kebenaran Alkitab adalah sesuatu yang bisa datang kepada kita dalam berbagai bentuk: lewat seorang nabi yang menulis, atau lewat seorang pengkhotbah yang berbicara.

Tapi bagaimana dengan melalui dua orang pendeta yang saling berdiskusi, saling berbicara tetapi juga saling mendengar?

Let's Read the Book of Esther (4): Time Is of The Essence

March 13, 2023 10:27 - 46 minutes - 20.3 MB

In the light of the compelling interpretations discussed previously, we continue to ask whether we should view both Esther and Mordecai as heroes or compromisers. It is clear that the answer is not that straightforward, yet, we do not simply want to fall into a simple "neither nor/ either or" answer. In this episode, we try to bring out the third voice which may just be a more satisfying answer for all of us. Tune in and be blessed! Timestamps: 00:00-12:40---Which one are they, heroes or c...

S2E2: House vs. Home

February 10, 2021 19:00 - 38 minutes - 22.4 MB

In this episode, we continue our discussion regarding the creation account in Genesis. We start by addressing the concern of some that reading the Bible in its commonality with other ANE stories actually sheds the Bible of its distinctiveness. Then, we dive into the text of Genesis to show that its purpose was not material but functional; in other words, the creation account wants to portray a home and not just merely a house.

February 03, 2021 06:45 - 51 minutes - 33.1 MB

We kick off the season with a new series, "Reading the Beginning", where we will explore the creation account found in Genesis 1-2. The intent, however, is not merely to explore but to bring readers of the Bible to understand how the original recipients of this story would have understood it. We believe that by going back to how the creation account was designed to be understood, Christians will be able to avoid making false assumptions with regards to the story and, of course, to better und...

Believing that answering questions on their face value does not solve anything, we try to seek the variety of paradigms behind the questions and respond to that instead. In relation, we point out how authority can be derived more powerfully from a narrative form rather than principals...
