This week Guy Gruters spoke about his time in a communist Vietnamese prison camp.  He explained his struggles and how he found peace in horrible conditions and learned that God is in control of everything.

 

This week Emily Strand discussed the plot of the Harry Potter series of novels and interpreted them in terms of the Paschal Mystery.  She explained how the novels are symbolic and can be used to present and explain truths to children and those who would not otherwise be exposed to them.  She highlighted quotes and reasons to beleive that these meanings were at least partly the author’s intent.

 

 

This week Bryan Kemper discussed how he came to work in the pro-life movement.  He presented 3 times in history when the personhood of a group of people was denied and the consequences.  He then discussed the evils of abortion and encouraged his listeners to fight it more.

This week Robyn Gibson discussed three forms of vocations and how they lead one to holiness.  Marriage is a sign of the love of the Trinity, religious are married to Christ on Earth, and singles can work for the Kingdom without being burdened by external responsibility.  She then used her personal testimony to illustrate the discernment process. 

 

 

This week Rick Fannin related his life as a musician and how addition nearly destroyed his life.  He explained how he was drawn to God to fill the emptiness in his soul and rebuilt his life.  He played music and sang to help identify the feelings and emotions he went through.

 

 

 

“A look at the historical evidence for the Resurrection.”

  

This week Dr. Jeff Morrow discussed the five most common objections skeptics raise concerning the Gospel accounts of the resurrection and highlighted the shortcomings of these arguments.  He explained that most objective scholars accept that Jesus died and was buried, the women went to the correct tomb, the tomb was empty, no one had anything to gain by stealing the body, and that the disciples experienced His presence and believed this to their deaths.  Where people differ is on what these events mean.  While some see “nothing special,” a Christian sees hope.
