Bonus Episode

Today we welcome Dr. Michael Lawson back to talk about God’s chosen king: David.

Michael is joined by his dear friend Jeanne Hendricks who generously gives us her take on the purpose of the book of Ruth and who she believes to be the real hero of the story: Naomi.

How do we resolve texts we can’t reconcile to any sort of order or justice? When the bad guys win and evil violence seems to have the last word? Dr. Mark Chavalas joins us again to discuss some of the more difficult passages in the book of Judges. 

Dr. Michael Easley interviews Dr. Tom Constable about reading and understanding God’s word.

As we saw last week, Leviticus – though often approached with dread – offered its first recipients a welcome reprieve and freedom. The Law revealed all that was needed to know how to worship a holy God. It’s not just formalism. It’s holiness. Jody Capehart joins us in this episode to help us see how Christ is reflected in the festivals decreed by the Lord in Leviticus, and invites us to incorporate rest into our upcoming holiday season.

Dr. Ken Boa joins us today to talk about Joseph: a man of great wisdom who thrived in exile, and what we can learn from Joseph’s example.

From time to time throughout this series, we’ll release bonus episodes consisting of interviews with experts who are able to bring a little more nuance and depth to some of the themes and characters in the books we’re studying than I’m able to teach in a single episode about that book. In this first Bonus Episode in our Cover to Cover series, I spoke with with Dr. Michael Lawson about the creation of Eve and the first marriage.

Kent Lapp, host of the Gospel Business Strategies podcast, interviews Michael about finding community, living with pain, the discipline of prayer, advice for business leaders and more.

Merry Christmas from Michael Easley inContext with David Ian Ghazarian and his vintage Christmas music.

Michael interviews, Cameron Doolittle and also answers several financial questions in an Ask Dr. E Segment.
