Starting Place with Elizabeth Woodson

  • サマリー

  • Starting Place explores what Christians believe and why it matters when it comes to growing in our faith. As Christians, we should know what our Bible is about (not just the individual books but the one unified story it tells from Genesis to Revelation). We should understand the essential theological beliefs we hold to as Christians. We should know what discipleship looks like. We should know about church history, spiritual formation, and so much more. Each season, I will unpack one of these topics, and in every episode I will interview a new guest to explore a bit of what this topic means and why it matters in our daily lives. Because it's one thing to understand theology, and it's another thing to know how it connects to the most ordinary moments of our lives.

  • The Prophets, Judgment, Hope, & Returning to God with Mason King (Re-air)
    2024/12/11
    Elizabeth Woodson is joined by Mason King to have a conversation about how the prophets called Israel back to repentance but they did not listen, so God eventually responds by enacting judgment upon them by sending them into exile.

    Questions Covered in This Episode:
    • What is exile and why is this event significant in the life of Israel?
    • What hope does God give Israel while they are in exile? What is the significance of this hope being given during a season of suffering/judgment?
    • We love talking about hope, but we don’t always like talking about judgment. What are some of the reasons we have a hard time embracing this part of God’s character?
    • How has your understanding of these interconnected themes of judgment and hope impacted how you love God and love others?
    • How do The Prophet and the themes of judgment and hope point us toward the gospel?
    Helpful Definitions:
    • Exile: Having to leave where you are from to go to another place against your will, knowing you can’t go back and you want to go back.
