MP3 | Podcast |
| Jan. 18 |
Stealing the StoryAaron Baart Whether watching Superman or reading Harry Potter, every story is a reflection, a derivative, of the one true story. The fingerprint of God is so embedded in each of us that whether we know the name of Jesus or not, his story is the source of our being. |
MP3 | Podcast |
| Jan. 25 |
Joining the Light Shining in the DarkAaron Baart In the lowest point of Israel’s history, during the Babylonian captivity, Jeremiah tells the people not to merely wait for their freedom but that their prosperity is now intricately tied to their captors’ prosperity.

Extreme Home Makeover: Chapel EditionAaron Baart Well-intentioned attempts to interpret and apply the longing for good within humanity manifest themselves all around us. But what is the difference between good and God? Does a social gospel make our witness more social and less Gospel? Let’s see. |
MP3 | Podcast |
| Feb. 22 |
Safe Injection Sites: Every Square Inch?Aaron Baart & Giovanni Romano Christians in several cities have opened or at least volunteered at and advocated for safe injection sites for heroin addicts.

Secular ProphetsAaron Baart From Metallica to Lady Gaga, in music and throughout popular culture, different voices make strong calls back to Biblical faithfulness, even if they don’t count the Bible as authoritative or Jesus as Lord. What is being said through these voices and is it God saying it? |
MP3 | Podcast |
| Mar. 21 |
The Light in Our Own DarknessAaron Baart John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it.” If we are ever to be effective ministers of the Gospel or apologists for our faith in the world, we need to first come to terms with the darkness inside ourselves before we can ever help others. How? |
