• From Text to Life

  This week I’m joined again by Dr.Hopkins, professor at Truett Seminary, as we open up 1 John 2 and talk aboutwhat it really means to “not love theworld.”So often this passage is misused ormisapplied—but when we step into the text faithfully, we discover something farricher and deeper for our lives today.We’ll also continue along theInterpretive Journey, moving into the 5th and final step: grasping the text inour town.This is where Scripture comes off the page and into our daily lives,shaping how we live as God’s people here and now.Biblical Rooting:  “Do not love the world or the things in the world. Ifanyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” —1 John 2:15 Show Resources:(Please note: We may share links toexternal resources for your convenience.

• Malachi: Tithing and the Kingdom

  This week on Out of Context, I’m joined by Dr. Tucker, Professor at Truett Seminary, as we take a close look at the book of Malachi. We explore how this often-misinterpreted text speaks to God’s people about tithing, community, and living out the Kingdom of God.Dr. Tucker helps us unpack the historical and cultural context of Malachi, showing how its message goes far beyond a simple checklist of giving. Together, we discuss how God calls His people into a life that reflects His Kingdom here on earth—through generosity, relational community, and faithful obedience.We’ll also be moving into Step 3 of the Interpretive Journey, continuing to learn how to faithfully bridge God’s Word from its original context into our lives today.This episode will equip you to read Malachi with fresh insight and see how God’s principles can shape how we live, give, and love in our communities. Biblical Rooting:  "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need." Malachi 3:10 (ESV)  Show Resources: (Please note: We may share links to external resources for your convenience.
