“God is good” is a statement that no Christian would argue with. But often, the way we actually talk about the goodness of God completely redefines the word “good”. Bouncing off some recent personal experiences, Ray and Steve discuss whether or not our human definition of “good” is accurate when it comes to describing our Father. Do tragedies come from God? Does God bring hardship into our lives in order to bring about some greater good? The thoughts Ray and Steve discuss in this episode might surprise you.

Most of us are familiar with the term “priesthood of all believers”. But as Ray and Steve discuss in this episode, it often feels like a phrase that is only given lip service. What would it look like if we began to operate truly as if all of us were priests? The New Covenant is different and superior to the Old Covenant (cf. Hebrews), but we still fall back into an Old Covenant mentality when we view others as “go-betweens” between us and our Father.

Continuing their discussion on the role of the Bible in the believer’s life, Steve and Ray dig a little deeper as they try to understand the purpose and nature of Scripture. Is Scripture the “sufficient” guide for the believer? Is God’s primary revelation verbal in nature? Is Scripture our “objective” authority for understanding truth? Join Steve and Ray as they explore the role and nature of Scripture “Beyond the Box”.
