The Origins and Meaning of Genesis 1 (Part 1)
<p>This episode calls us to explore the world of comparative mythology; the Document Hypothesis Theory, and ancient cosmology; all found in Genesis 1. Many are shocked to know that there are competing creation stories; we analyze the first in this episode. We attempt to discuss the ingredients that made/make meaning for various people-groups the world over and for all time. We are not interested in simple tradition or devotional understandings of Genesis, but instead, scholarship and historical criticism. This in fact adds to our rumination on the text, taking us beyond our religious comfort zones and into reality of what is and what could be. </p><p>Stop what you are doing and join us in this thought project; study the first creation story in Genesis chapter one. And be ready to for part 2 as well because we just couldn’t get enough! This is God Talk with Medene and James!</p>

How do you respond when Jesus asks, “do you love me?” John 21
<p>This episode explores an intimate moment between Jesus and his disciple, Simon Peter (John 21), in regards to their love for one another, and how Jesus meets us where we are, no matter where we are seated on the love train. This exploration begs the questions: do we love the Lord, as we should, and how should we better love our neighbors, as well as ourselves? Brilliant religious educator and narrative theologian, Mr. Jared Anderson-Minor, takes us deeper into what he feels is one of the most beautiful moments in the entire Bible. Let’s grab our Bibles; open our hearts and minds, and be ready to receive a Word from the Lord about love. Let Love love through you! </p><p>This is God Talk with Medene and James!</p>
