We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Your neighbor’s dog kills your dog or cat …

How do you respond?

Your dog kills your neighbor’s dog or cat …

How do you respond?

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (Colossians 3:13)

What makes forgiveness so hard?

Hurt / grief / pain …
Justice … (what makes being forgiven so hard?)

Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[h] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. 26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. (Matthew 18:23-27)

10 thousand talents - 10 thousand bags of gold: one talent is 20 years of wages for a laborer

In our economy - $10/hour - $80/day - $400/week - $20,800/year - one talent = $416,000

10,000 talents = $4,160,000,000 (over $4 billion)

28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[i] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ 30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. 35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” (Matthew 18:28-35)

100 denarii - 100 days of wages for laborer - $8,000

Why is forgiveness just?

Why is withholding forgiveness so bad?

Do I realize how much I have been forgiven?

Admit something needs to be forgiven - Admit that I am commanded to forgive

Peacemaking - Peacefaking … overlooking an offense vs. peacefaking

Return good for evil - do not hold it against them, do not hold the moral high ground, give up righteous victim status

Love keeps no record of wrongs

RTT - On Culture Podcast and The Embassy Newsletter 2:53

לפני 3 years2:53

2:53

Thanks for supporting the Rogue Table Talks community for the past couple of years! It has been a blast! Chad and I have loved talking to you! I want to invite the RTT audience to a new thing I am doing. I have a newsletter that will be launching mid-April or so and a podcast that goes with it. I would love all of you to be a part of that community as well. The newsletter is called The Embassy - at theembassy.substack.com - you can subscribe for free and get some content that will always be free and there is a paid option for all the content (it is pretty cheap, I think). The podcast is free and is called On Culture (that link is for Spotify, but it is available everywhere - including Apple Podcasts). The tone will be similar to Rogue Table Talks and we'll assume the same sort of audience, but it won't be based on a single scripture passage as much as cultural issues (and we'll reference scripture along the way). On Culture will feature Chad along with other friends ... so if you have enjoyed RTT, I would love to have you subscribe to On Culture (and I would love to have you subscribe to The Embassy also!). Love you all, Mike --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

RTT 132 - Blessing, Good News, Light, Presence, and Fulfillment Genesis 12:1-3 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Blessing to the world … in God’s plan - promise Luke 2:13-20 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Good News of Great Joy … fulfillment Matthew 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Light of the world … blessing / fulfillment through us Ephesians 2:19-22 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. God’s presence and dwelling in us, His church … fulfillment Final fulfillment in heaven … --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

16:15

Not Circumcision but the New Creation 11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! 12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[ a ] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[ b ] the Israel of God. 17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters.

Galatians 6:1-10 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

RTT 129 - Flesh and Spirit 26:25

לפני 4 years26:25

26:25

Keep in Step with the Spirit Galatians 5:16-26 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. We are free - but are commanded and encouraged to walk by the Spirit The flesh and the Spirit - competing desires How do we understand this? Under the Spirit or under the law? Works of the flesh Works of the Spirit Belonging to Christ - crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires Denial of Self … Living Sacrifice ... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

Galatians 4:3-20 From the elementary principles (or spirits) of the world to son or daughter of God From ESV Study Bible: “Gal. 4:3 elementary principles. Both here and in v. 9 the expression refers to the elementary principles the Galatians previously followed, which for Jews would be the Mosaic law and for Gentiles the basic concepts of their pagan religions. But the additional overtones of demonic bondage in this phrase should not be ignored; they were, in terms of their mind-set and life situation, under a legalistic system and enslaved, and Paul explains in v. 8 that this enslavement was “to those that by nature are not gods.” Legalistic superstition and demonic domination are closely linked.” From slave to son or daughter to heir … destiny “But now that you have come to know God, or rather be known by God” you want to turn back to the “weak and worthless elementary principles (or spirits) of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more”? (People of Israel on shore of Red Sea) They make much of you, but for no good purpose … (being manipulated in a culture war … isn’t that a version of what is happening here?) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

RTT 125 - The Plan All Along 32:57

לפני 4 years32:57

32:57

The Big Story Has Been the Plan All Along ... 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. ... 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life , then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. C.S. Lewis - Man or Rabbit Mere morality is not the end of life. You were made for something quite different from that. J. S. Mill and Confucius (Socrates was much nearer the reality) simply didn't know what life is about. The people who keep on asking if they can't lead a decent life without Christ, don't know what life is about; if they did they would know that 'a decent life' is mere machinery compared with the thing we men are really made for. Morality is indispensable: but the Divine Life, which gives itself to us and which calls us to be gods, intends for us something in which morality will be swallowed up. We are to be re-made. All the rabbit in us is to disappear - the worried, conscientious, ethical rabbit as well as the cowardly and sensual rabbit. We shall bleed and squeal as the handfuls of fur come out; and then, surprisingly, we shall find underneath it all a thing we have never yet imagined: a real Man, an ageless god, a son of God, strong, radiant, wise, beautiful, and drenched in joy. ' 'When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.'2 The idea of reaching 'a good life' without Christ is based on a double error. Firstly, we cannot do it; and secondly, in setting up 'a good life' as our final goal, we have missed the very point of our existence. Morality is a mountain which we cannot climb by our own efforts; and if we could we should only perish in the ice and unbreathable air of the summit, lacking those wings with which the rest of the journey has to be accomplished. For it is from there that the real ascent begins. The ropes and axes are 'done away' and the rest is a matter of flying. Children of God 23 Before the coming of this faith,[ j ] we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

RTT 122 - Authority of the Gospel Galatians 2:1-10 Paul Accepted by the Apostles Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. 2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. 4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6 And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. _______ Big Rocks: Why was Timothy circumcised? Strategy of an Ambassador (2 Cor 5, 1 Cor 9 …) vs. Requirement of the Gospel Catholicity What is this? Why do we need it?

Amen. No Other Gospel 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant[ b ] of Christ. _______ The situation in Galatia The urge for another gospel … Every Christian Cult or Sect … my experience with LDS missionaries … All of us at some point … The gospel for me - but not for thee … … or for thee but not for me What are other gospels? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

RTT 119 - Pray for One Another Some passages: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 - First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Col 4:3-4 - At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. Phil 1:19-20 - for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Matt 5:44-45 - But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. John 13:12-17 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant[ c ] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. Matthew 20 Laborers in the Vineyard Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time A Mother's Request 20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. 21 And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23 He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” 24 And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[c] 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,[d] 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” One another - interconnectedness - we should not only receive or only give … we need each other Identity … who we are … both servant and one another Command … Are we following Christ if we are not serving Ways to serve … formal role in the church or community / informal … Don’t waste your life … “waste” your life … (vacation at children’s camp) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

Romans 15:4-5 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, An obligation to please my neighbor for his good - to build him up (truth) Encouragement of scripture - giving courage and hope for the story we are in Encouragement and endurance to live in harmony with one another 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,[ d ] that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. Therefore … because of this truth - encourage one another with these words - with the truth of the story we are in, with a reminder of a future hope … Notice - not encourage one another that you will get that job or that you won’t get sick … that may not be true - but with the larger story that puts all these things into perspective Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Encouraging one another to love and good deeds and all the more as you see the Day drawing near … this is what is encouraging - the Day is drawing near, so we can be encouraged, we don’t have to pretend to be. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

Hurt / grief / pain … Justice … (what makes being forgiven so hard?) Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[ h ] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. 26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. (Matthew 18:23-27) 10 thousand talents - 10 thousand bags of gold: one talent is 20 years of wages for a laborer In our economy - $10/hour - $80/day - $400/week - $20,800/year - one talent = $416,000 10,000 talents = $4,160,000,000 (over $4 billion) 28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[ i ] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ 30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. 35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” (Matthew 18:28-35) 100 denarii - 100 days of wages for laborer - $8,000 Why is forgiveness just?

RTT 111 - Redemption in Stories and in our Story What is redemption? (vs. innocence?) How are we different from the angels? 1 Peter 1:10-12 - Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time[a] the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. We wish we could do it over or wipe it away or that it never happened - but what we get instead is redemption. Angels don’t have anything to wish away - they are innocent - but they don’t really get redemption. Redemption is part of the human story - this Big Story we are in (and angels only play a part in this story - maybe they have one of their own). Redemption isn’t bad to good. It is bad to redeemed bad. Angels can’t relate, because they were never bad … Redemption in stories Edmund in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe … post redemption, he is different (and better) than if he would have never needed it. How? What does redemption give us if we grasp it? What do we lack if we never grasp it? If we think of ourselves as good instead of as redeemed bad, will we ever have true humility? Will we have grace for others? Will we be in a place of forgiveness? Clint Eastwood’s character in Gran Torino … think how different the story would be if he was a great guy his whole life … think how much he had to change to sacrifice himself redemptively as he did … You are the tax collector or the Pharisee … Luke 18:9-14 - He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed[a] thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” The two sons in the parable … one is redeemed - one thinks he is good - the one who knows he is redeemed is the one we are to emulate. Do we struggle with this? Try to convince ourselves and others that we are good instead of redeemed bad? What does that do to us? We have a story of redemption In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace (Eph. 1:7) Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, (Ps 107:2) That is different from a story of innocence - --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 And when Jesus[b] had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. 3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” 8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea. (Mark 5:1-13) This view of what the kingdom is like and what kingdom work looks like … Translation to loving my neighbor Little by little … at first imperceptible, then visible and impactful Dramatic, big, decisive … Which view are we drawn to?

Theme of Alienation … the fall brings alienation (The following list of alienations from the fall are from Professor Jerram Barrs, Covenant Seminary - all errors mine) God & us Us & God From ourselves From each other Loss of Dominion (from our role) Body & Spirit From creation How that impacts loving our neighbor … Biblical theme of being called out of comfort and into a journey, because our home is elsewhere and our citizenship is elsewhere … all throughout the Bible - Abram / Jacob / Joseph / David / Israel itself / Jesus has nowhere to lay his head / Paul / Apostles … us Now the Lord said[a] to Abram, “Go from your country[b] and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”[c] 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6 Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak[d] of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. 9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb. (Genesis 12:1-9) This seems like a part of God’s plan - why? Can we do this without a physical relocation? What other kinds of relocations are possible? Is this a necessary part of following? What makes this movement “successful”? What gets in the way of making this movement “successful”? How does this conflict with our expectations? How can the idea of living “successfully” instead of “faithfully” be part of the problem?

Jeremiah 29:7 Practical steps to loving your actual neighbors … Chris McKinney - Author, Place for a Purpose Before we talk about how we should neighbor, we first must understand what story we are living in. In our culture, to be a good neighbor is to leave one’s neighbor(s) alone. To be a good neighbor in God’s story is to be someone who moves toward his or her neighbors in love. So we need to move toward them in love, mindful of a culture where, at least on the surface, they want (and expect) to be left alone.

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants[d] and eats and drinks with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites.

#101 Knowing Jesus - What is Jesus Doing Now? 32:08

לפני 4 years32:08

32:08

In addition to discussing their theological author names...Mike and Chad discuss what Jesus is doing here and now. The ministry of Jesus … something in the past It is finished … but what is finished? What is he doing now? And why does it matter? Simplistic view … God sends the Son, who dies and rises and asks the Father to send the Spirit and the Spirit is now here and the others are gone ... 1 John 2:1-2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. We don’t know what this means - but it means something in the present now … John 14:3 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.. Working on the next part of the story … Preparing the way for us in our future on Earth ... Matthew 16:8 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. He is building the church - with the Holy Spirit … Revelation 1:12-18 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades We are Ambassadors for this distant King who isn’t distant … The work of the Spirit, distinct but not separated from the work of the Son Mystery of the Trinity Worship this living and present God … Book Recommendation - Union with Christ - J.

#100 Knowing Jesus - The Ascension 38:59

לפני 4 years38:59

38:59

RTT 100 - Knowing Jesus - Ascension We’ve talked before about examples of movies or stories that appear to be over and resolved, but which have another chapter … you appear to reach the resolution, but then there is more … After Easter, there is more - the story may appear to be over, but a lot still has to happen Here are all the benefits … here are all the reasons for celebration … here is what is changed with regard to my relationships and life and identity … Now what? Acts 1:1-10 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. Their old expectations die hard … we try to fit the new data into our old understanding, even when it is obvious that our old understanding was wrong or incomplete. Here is one of the more things … the Holy Spirit … power … Baptism of the Holy Spirit Here is one of the more things … mission … you will be my witnesses What is a “more things” not mentioned here … (church / body) OK - so do we try to live the Christian life without these things? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

#99 Knowing Jesus - The Resurrection 34:07

לפני 4 years34:07

34:07

The reality of the resurrection - and why it matters ... 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied We have a faith that relies on the supernatural and miraculous - without that, there isn’t anything … Alternatives to a miraculous, physical resurrection … Jesus didn’t rise - his death is an example of sacrificial love … Jesus isn’t divine - he is an example of a good person and we can be like him … there is spirituality … but we can be just as spiritual as Christ … So we can say he “rose” metaphorically - he “lives on” in his disciples Jesus rose “spiritually” His body is still in the tomb - his spirit “rose” … no resurrection, just a ghost But these leave the essence of the gospel as something else - or non-existent Paul’s words … why is this true? 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God[c] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. What do I want from my faith or “my faith”? If all I want is a better-behaved life, maybe I don’t need the resurrection … the above metaphorical resurrections work … but if I don’t think I really can just “be better” - then I truly believe my faith is in vain without the resurrection … do I believe that? Do I need miraculous help? “If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied” Because love is costly - because the “good life” isn’t possible or not lasting or without hope … Hope in Christ on a small scale just doesn’t work … --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

What is Easter to you? We may not often think this way, but it is the story of YOUR redemption. Join Mike and Chad as they discuss in this week's episode. Luke 22:7-16 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked. 10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” 18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

#96 Knowing Jesus - The Triumphal Entry 37:20

37:20

Join Mike and Chad as they discuss story and how it may not be what we expect. Jesus' life was a real "they won't be expecting that!" moment. John 12:12-19 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” 14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: 15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” 16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him. 17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

#95 Knowing Jesus - Mary Anoints Jesus 36:01

Is there an acceptable amount of extravagance? Join Mike and Chad as they discuss this week. John 12:1-11 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages. ” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.” 9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

Join Mike and Chad as they discuss Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus and what transformation in our lives, and others, might mean. Luke 19:1-10 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

What is our understanding of what it means to follow Jesus? Mike and Chad discuss on this week's podcast. John 10:22-39 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” 31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” 39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

How do you pray? Do you think that we should be "taught" to pray? This week, Mike and Chad discuss why Jesus taught us to pray and how sometimes our prayers may not be what we think they are. Matthew 6:5-15 And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…

#90 Knowing Jesus - Jesus Sets His Face Toward Jerusalem 36:53

36:53

Jesus has counted the cost and asks us to count the cost … do we? Is it worth it? Luke 9:51-55 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them. Then he and his disciples went to another village. Isaiah 50:6-7 I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; did not hide my face from mocking and spitting. Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. Luke 9:57-62 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguetabletalks/message…
