Holier Than Thou? Think Again.

2026/10/21

Barry takes a necessary detour from the Psalms to look at Romans 2:1-13. Come to find out, we’re pretty good at spotting other people’s flaws—and somehow a little less gifted at recognizing our own. Paul turns the spotlight back on us, challenging our assumptions about who needs grace, who deserves judgment, and where we actually […]

The Mathematics of Mercy: Part 2

2026/10/14

We talk a lot about mercy; but what happens when we stop looking at mercy as something God does and start looking at the God who gives it? The surprising thing is that God doesn’t seem to get tired of us in the way we get tired of ourselves—or of each other. Our failures don’t […]

The Mathematics of Mercy: Part 1

2026/10/07

Ever looked at the moon during the day and thought, “Huh… that seems backwards”? The fuller the moon gets, the less time we see it in the daytime sky—and somehow that leads us to inverse proportionality, human behavior, and the curious ways those two things might have more in common than you’d expect. We’ll start […]

Donning our Worship

2026/09/30

Psalm 122 is about going to Jerusalem, gathering with God’s people, and praying for peace. Which sounds lovely—until you remember that being around other people is sometimes…a lot. In this episode, Barry takes a closer look at this little psalm and its surprisingly practical vision for community. We must reconsider what it means to seek […]

Both Walking and Rising: Part 2

2026/09/23

It’s another conversation about what happens when philosophy and ministry start asking each other questions. And, as it turns out, they have quite a few. We get into sophistry, the ways people can become very good at making arguments without necessarily making good arguments, and the complicated relationship between doctrine and ethics. What we believe […]

Both Walking and Rising: Part 1

2026/09/16

Barry acknowledges there are some things you can learn by studying philosophy that ministry will never teach you—and some things ministry will teach you that you could never learn from a philosophy textbook. In this episode, he explores the surprising things learned on both sides of that divide, while admitting that philosophy and ministry have […]

Loneliest Word in the Longest Psalm

2026/09/09

Psalm 119 is basically 176 verses of the psalmist saying, “God, I really, really love Your Word.” And while that might sound a little intense, there’s something wonderfully practical underneath all of it: what gets into us eventually comes out of us. Our interaction with God’s word is less about simply reading it but rather, […]

Self-De-Centered: Part 2

2026/09/02

We all have lines that tell us who we are—and who we’re not. Race, nationality, politics, and a whole host of other identities can shape us in ways we barely notice. In Part 2 of Self-De-Centered, Barry looks at what happens when those identities become walls, and at Jesus’ very different way: incarnation. If we’re […]

Self-De-Centered: Part 1

2026/08/26

It turns out there’s a pretty big problem with making yourself the center of the universe: you’re not the center of the universe. But what does that actually mean for the way we understand ourselves? In the first episode of this series, Barry takes a look at the self from several different angles—biological, psychological, sociological, […]

...Who Needs Enemies? - Part 2

2026/08/19

Wouldn’t life be simpler if everyone just agreed with you? Maybe—but God didn’t build His kingdom that way. In Part 2 of …Who Needs Enemies?, Barry looks at why God intentionally created us with different gifts, personalities, and callings, and why even the people who drive us crazy may have something we need. Plus, what […]

...Who Needs Enemies? - Part 1

2026/08/12

We spend much of our lives trying to outrun our adversaries, but what if they’re actually one of God’s gifts? In Part 1 of the …Who Needs Enemies series, Barry explores why opposition isn’t always something to avoid. From the courtroom, where justice depends on opposing sides, to the political arena, where differing viewpoints can […]

Differences: You and Your Lawn Gnome - Part 2

2026/08/05

In Part 2 of our exploration of Psalm 115, Barry concludes his look at the responsibilities a lawn gnome cannot fulfill, but you can. God has given us mouths to act so that his unseen presence becomes unmistakably visible through our praise—in other words we need to stop being like an idol and start acting […]

Differences: You and Your Lawn Gnome - Part 1

2026/07/29

Barry takes a deeper dive into the lawn gnome theology of Psalm 115 as he revisits gratitude. Gratitude is one of those things we know we’re supposed to have: say “yes ma’am” and “yes sir” and remember to send thank-you notes. But this psalm shows us that gratitude is more than a simple courtesy; that […]

Don't Be Like Your Lawn Gnome

2026/07/22

What do lawn gnomes, ancient idols, and our everyday lives have in common? More than you might think. Barry explores one of the sharpest—and funniest—critiques of idolatry, showing why the things we trust inevitably shape who we become. This ancient psalm reminds us that in our attempts to seek the objective existence of God, we […]

When the Sea Runs Away: A Lesson in the Psalms - Part 2

2026/07/15

In the previous episode, Barry walked us through the process and tools he uses to interpret the Psalms. This time, we put those tools to work on Psalm 114, and uncover its tropes, motifs, parallels to find much more than a story about mountains, rocks, and runaway seas. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks […]
