Universal Betrayal: Grief, anxiety, depression, and the love of God with Rose Marie Jackson

Back by popular demand, this is a second interview with Rose Marie Jackson. What starts out as a tame question about her new line of work as an Integration Facilitator quickly becomes deep and personal. Rose Marie and Brandon talk about many things including: Our deep sense that the whole universe has betrayed us, how grief and anger often underly anxiety and depression, our need to grieve and forgive, and then they fall into the deep end of the pool talking about what God’s heart for us truly is and how we can experience God as he really is.

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?

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.
