More is seen as better – whether it’s more money, social media fame, more choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, ‘narrow’ seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options, or be seen as narrow-minded? Which is why the most well-known talk in history – the Sermon on the Mount – is also the most paradoxical. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious … and the broader path as the more confining one.</p> <p>Rich Villodas, bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, helps us to diagnose whether we are following the broad or narrow path, in order to help us pursue the way of Jesus more deeply. The Narrow Path reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus’s timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, depression, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God . . . and it is available now for all who want it!</p> </blockquote> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="subscribe-rate-review-seminary-dropout-on-apple-podcasts"><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seminary-dropout/id582049752?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subscribe/Rate/Review Seminary Dropout on Apple Podcasts</a></h4> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="get-40-off-shane-s-book-go-and-do-nine-axioms-on-peacemaking-and-transformation-from-the-life-of-john-perkins"><a href="https://shaneblackshear.com/discount-code/">Get 40% off Shane’s book Go and Do: Nine Axioms on Peacemaking and Transformation From the Life of John Perkins.</a></h4> <p></p>

Beth Felker Jones on the Theology of Sex
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Beth Felker Jones (PhD, Duke University) teaches theology at Northern Seminary, and loves to write for the church and the academy. She lives in the Chicagoland area with her husband Brian, four kids, two dogs, and Dwight, her theology cat.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://shaneblackshear.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Seminary-Now-Multi-Teacher-Image.png"></a><br /> <br /> <br /> To participate in Dr. Jones Seminary Now course and many others, go to <a href="http://seminarynow.co/blackshear">seminarynow.co/blackshear</a> for a 25% off discount!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Faithful-Theology-Sex-Ordinary-ebook/dp/B00L0SZICQ/"></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Many believers accept traditional Christian sexual morality but have very little idea why it matters for the Christian life. In Faithful, author Beth Felker Jones sketches a theology of sexuality that demonstrates sex is not about legalistic morals with no basis in reality but rather about the God who is faithful to us.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In Hosea 2:19-20 God says to Israel, “I will take you for my wife forever; I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.” This short book explores the goodness of sexuality as created and redeemed, and it suggests ways to navigate the difficulties of living in a world in which sexuality, like everything else, suffers the effects of the fall.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> As part of Zondervan’s Ordinary Theology series, Faithful takes a deeper look at a subject Christians talk about often but not always thoughtfully. This short, insightful reflection explores the deeper significance of the body and sexuality.<br /> From the Publisher<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Practicing-Christian-Doctrine-Introduction-Theologically-ebook/dp/B00J7R5MWI/"></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This introductory theology text helps students articulate basic Christian doctrines, think theologically so they can act Christianly in a diverse world, and connect Christian thought to their everyday lives of faith. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Written from a solidly evangelical yet ecumenically aware perspective, this book models a way of doing theology that is generous and charitable. It attends to history and contemporary debates and features voices from the global church. <br /> From the Publisher<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seminary-dropout/id582049752?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subscribe/Rate/Review Seminary Dropout on Apple Podcasts</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://shaneblackshear.com/discount-code/">Get 40% off Shane’s book Go and Do: Nine Axioms on Peacemaking and Transformation From the Life of John Perkins.</a><br />
