LIVING FAITH BIBLE INSTITUTE

In this archived episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Dan Reneau, pastor, artist, and art history professor, to explore how the history of Western art reveals the changing worldview of civilization—from medieval Christianity and the Renaissance to modernism, postmodernism, and today's culture.

Together they discuss why people create, what art says about the culture that produces it, and how Christians can understand visual culture without compromising biblical truth. Along the way, they examine the theological influences behind major artistic movements and why understanding art can help believers better engage the world with the gospel.

What happens when everything technically fits—but your life no longer has room to breathe? In this immersive episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the biblical call to walk carefully and redeem the time with wisdom. Blending scripture, storytelling, humor, and personal reflection, this episode examines how to recognize the season you’re actually living, protect what matters before it’s forced to survive on leftovers, and stop treating every good opportunity like a personal assignment.

For most Christians, military service and pastoral ministry seem like two very different worlds. One is associated with conflict, discipline, and national defense; the other with discipleship, biblical counseling, and the care of souls. Yet for a military chaplain, those worlds meet every single day. 

In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Lt. Joshua Keatts, Command Chaplain in the United States Navy, to discuss what it means to faithfully minister to sailors during some of life’s most difficult moments—including deployments, combat operations, and the recent conflict involving Iran.

Chaplain Keatts shares his testimony of coming to Christ after joining the military, leaving a promising military career to pursue God’s call to ministry, and now serving aboard the USS Bulkeley by preaching the gospel, providing biblical counseling, discipling sailors, and offering hope in the midst of uncertainty.

What does it mean for joy to become full—and to remain when life is not easy? In this episode, Jonathan Kindler explores Jesus’ words in John 15 and the difference between pushing for more and remaining in the love we have already been given. Through scripture, personal reflection, and stories about running, family, comparison, and constant striving, this episode shows how biblical joy can coexist with sorrow because its source is not our circumstances—it is the risen Christ.

Physician-assisted suicide is rapidly expanding across the Western world. As more governments embrace "assisted dying," Christians are faced with difficult questions about suffering, dignity, compassion, and the sanctity of human life. 

In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe and James Fyffe examine the biblical case against assisted suicide and euthanasia, comparing today's cultural shift with scripture's teaching that God alone is the giver and taker of life. The discussion explores Canada's MAID program, the moral consequences of redefining human dignity, common arguments in favor of assisted dying, and how Christians should respond with both truth and compassion. 

Whether you're trying to understand the ethics of physician-assisted suicide or looking for a biblical framework for end-of-life issues, this conversation will help you think clearly from a Christian worldview.

How much happiness passes through our lives without ever receiving our full attention? In the first episode of the Stewarding the Good series, Jonathan Kindler explores three simple ways to notice happiness in everyday life: recognize the good, receive the good, and remember the good. Blending scripture, personal reflection, and stories from family life and years on the road, this episode considers how familiarity, distraction, and constantly looking ahead can keep us from enjoying the gifts already in front of us.

How do you help someone without rushing to fix them? In this episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the biblical wisdom of 1 Thessalonians 5:14 and what it means to care for people with patience, discernment, and truth. Building on the desert, storm, waiting room, garden, and mountain imagery from the Walking With series, Jonathan explains why the same answer may not help every person in the same way.
