Theo Graff Podcast: Featuring Jessica Kelley
We have a special treat for you today. T. C. Moore is a great friend of ReKnew and he’s recently started a “Jesus-centered, hip hop flavored, geeky, theological, kingdom exploration” called the THEO GRAFF PODCAST. He’s published four podcasts so far and you’ll want to listen to them all when you get a chance, but we wanted to highlight the most recent one featuring Jessica Kelley. In this podcast, Jessica and T. C. talk about the problem of evil (theodicy) and the warfare worldview through the lens of her experience of losing her four-year-old son Henry to cancer.
You can find T. C.’s interview with Jessica here.

War in the Heavens!
What does spiritual warfare look like from the perspective of the physical world? Our friend David D.

How Much Does the Cross Really Matter?
The cross is as foolishness and weakness to nonbelievers, but Paul wrote that to those who are being saved it is both “the power” and “wisdom of God” (1 Cor 1:18, 24). In sharp contrast to the controlling power and wisdom that has been ascribed to God or the gods throughout history—including in much of…
