Testimony Tuesday: Rodney
<p>Welcome back to another powerful Testimony Tuesday on We are Rebel and Reformer. Your hosts, Todd and Sean, sit down for a deeply moving, hour-and-ten-minute conversation with our brother, Rodney.</p><p>When we talk about faith being tested, we often think of minor speed bumps. But Rodney’s story mirrors the biblical Book of Job. He has walked through seasons of immense trial where his faith wasn’t just strained—it was tested in the absolute highest degrees. Yet, just like Job, through every loss, roadblock, and heartache, Rodney’s faith has emerged not just intact, but proven and refined.</p><p>In this episode, Todd and Sean dive deep into how Rodney held onto his trust in God when the world around him was shaking. Rodney also opens up his heart to share a specific, vital message he felt deeply compelled to pass along to our listeners going through their own seasons of testing.</p><p>And because joy always comes after the trial—yes, the guys absolutely dive into Rodney’s massive love for Star Wars! Come for a masterclass in biblical endurance, and stay for a galaxy far, far away.</p><p>Grab your headphones, settle in, and join Todd and Sean for an episode that will challenge, convict, and deeply encourage your walk with Christ.</p>

The Theology of the Cross in the Dark Night
<p>Simul Iustus et Nada: The Lutheran Case for John of the Cross</p><p>What happens when you strip away the worship highs, the moral checklist, and the cozy feeling that God is your personal therapist? You get the "Dark Night of the Soul."</p><p>This week, <strong>Todd and Sean</strong> are crossing enemy lines into the 16th-century Counter-Reformation to hang out with John of the Cross—a Carmelite monk who was kidnapped and thrown in a cell by his own religious order for being too radical. While Martin Luther was deconstructing the church's theology from the pulpit, John was deconstructing the religious ego from a literal closet.</p><p>Join Todd and Sean as they explore why John’s philosophy of absolute emptiness (nada) perfectly mirrors the radical Lutheran reality of total passivity before God. If you’ve ever felt like God has gone completely silent, this one is for you. Turns out, you might just be simul iustus et nada—simultaneously justified and bringing absolutely nothing to the table.</p>
