Ep 228: The Celebrity Evangelist, Dylan Novak

by Registrar @LFBI -

Evangelism holds a significant place in the life and mission of the Christian, but the truth is very few of us are doing it. Throughout Scripture, we see Jesus and the apostles engaging people in a way that reflects boldness and urgency — so what makes us so afraid of confronting people with that same degree of urgency?

On todays show, we are going to be speaking with Pastor Dylan Novak, who is a man on a mission to bring the gospel to one of the least reached people groups — celebrities. God is using Dylan to lovingly confront movie stars and musicians with the gospel. Since the start of his ministry, God has given him the opportunity to share the gospel with over 1,000 celebrities.

Dylan’s view of confrontational evangelism and his heart to “redeem the time” makes him an ensample to all of us who desire to have a more active and personal evangelism ministry.

 

 

The end of the semester is upon us!

by Registrar @LFBI -

Hey Everyone,

Today is the last day of the semester and there are few things we want to remind you of.

  • For many of you, there is only one quiz and one or two more assignments left to complete. Please stay focused and don't give up! Don't forget that every major assignment (not quizzes) that is late receives a 10 point deduction until it reaches 50%. Please make sure you turn work in on time.
  • Many students still have outstanding library books. Please keep in mind, before a student will be allowed to enroll for Summer semester, they must pay all late fees and return their books. All fees must be paid on Saturday mornings from 9:30-noon CST in the upper Meyer.
  • The library WILL be open this summer, every Saturday from 9:30-noon CST. Come hangout with friends, study, do discipleship or read with a fresh cup of coffee. This Fall we will be opening a room devoted to streaming course lectures too.
  • Summer courses are now open for enrollment. Join us for 12 weeks of self-paced coursework and get your work done within your own summer schedule.

Praying for you all,

Ep 227: What does the Bible say about Polygamy?

by Registrar @LFBI -

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a topic that challenges cultural norms and theological assumptions: polygamy. What was once considered a fringe practice in the U.S. is now gaining more visibility, prompting questions about marriage, ethics, and faith.

What does the Bible say and how should Christians understand this subject? In the Old Testament, we see polygamy in practice among patriarchs and kings who had multiple wives – but how did God perceive that? Are there instances in which God condones the practice?

To help us navigate this topic, we’re joined by missiology professor James Fyffe, a missionary himself, who spent time ministering in cultures where polygamy is a longstanding tradition. Today we will look to God’s word to find out not only what the Bible says about polygamy, but how this question may impact people in ministry and on the mission field. 

 

 

Ep 226: The Altar of Incense & the New Testament Believer

by Registrar @LFBI -

The Old Testament tabernacle was meticulously crafted according to divine instruction and served as the central place of worship and communion between God and His people during Israel’s wilderness journey. Far more than a portable sanctuary, the tabernacle was the tangible manifestation of God’s presence dwelling among His covenant people. Its detailed construction, from the outer court to the Most Holy Place, was imbued with theological significance, providing the nation of Israel with rich symbolism in their worship.

The alter of incense was a sacred piece of furniture in the tabernacle used for burning incense as a daily offering to the Lord. It was located just outside the Holy of Holies. For the New Testament believer, the altar of incense has tons of typological significance, with layers of prophetic meaning, holding truths that find their fullest expression in Christ. 

The tabernacle wasn’t just for Israel, but it testifies to the divine design that culminates in Christ’s redemptive mission and relationship with mankind. To discuss the typology behind the altar of incense specifically, we have invited Brian Hedges, pastor at Heartland Baptist Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO and president of Word First Publishing.
