Broken Cisterns - On Sin and Prayer

On today's episode: God doesn’t promise to give us everything we want right now, instead he promises to be all that we need. Prayer is the practice of trusting God is enough. And, what do you say to someone who just can’t get to the place where they believe God is enough?

Hey listener's this is a special episode drop! Matt and Brandon welcome Peter Gammell to the back porch to talk about Signpost Inn's new book club that YOU can join, as well as about our recently released online course on prayer. We talk about books actually can "read us," why it's so valuable to read contemplatively with others, and dig into a pithy idea that we are kinda like hunter / gatherers when it comes to our spiritual lives.

Dr. Adam Hensley Interview on the Psalms: Part 2

In this episode we continue with the second part of Brandon's interview with Adam Hensley on the Psalms. This time Adam answers Brandon's questions about praying with those those psalms that refer to the "righteous man," and what about the "mean" Psalms?

Dr. Adam Hensley Interview on the Psalms: Part 1

In this episode Brandon interviews Dr. Adam Hensley, assistant professor of Old Testament Studies and Hebrew at Australian Lutheran College in Adelaide Australia. 

They focus their conversation on Adam's expertise in the Psalms. They discuss what the psalms are, how they teach us to pray, how they are arranged, and much MUCH more.  

One quick note: Adam uses the word  "Antitype" to refer to Jesus several times throughout this episode. This just means that Jesus is the fulfillment of a promise or prophecy foreshadowed or prefigured by someone or something in the Old Testament.

Interview with Dr. Rick Marrs Part 2

Brandon continues his conversation with Dr. Rick Marrs, author of Making Christian Counseling More Christ Centered. This time they talk about praying the Psalms, what advice Dr. Marrs has for someone who is struggling to feel God's love, and more.
