Kainos Project

The Satanic Temple has recently been making headlines for setting up "After School Satan Clubs" in public schools around the nation. The formation of these groups has been in response to the presence of Christian after school programs and offer self-guided activities such as science and craft projects, puzzles, and games, while offering lessons in benevolence, empathy, critical thinking, and creativity.In this episode, we take a look at the history of The Satanic Temple, how they are interacting with Christians in the public sphere, and how we should respond to them.Visit https://www.kainosproject.com to find other resources to help you tackle ancient truths in everyday settings, and be sure to subscribe to our email list to get all of our fresh content delivered straight to your inbox.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kainos-project/id1508890853Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7FLwkMnnFwukDXzzDuLgJi?si=56f195b5b16148ae Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

President Joe Biden recently announced that the federal government will be forgiving up to $20,000 in student loan debt for borrowers who make less than $125,000 a year, and the policy has elicited some strong responses. On both of those sides of the argument, a number of Christians have leveraged biblical passages and principles to bolster their case for or against student loan debt forgiveness. Which side is making a better biblical case? In this episode, we discuss.

We live in a world that constantly tells us that we need to go and get what rightfully belongs to us. Whether you call it "manifesting" or "declaring," we're constantly encouraged to do what we can to make our dreams come true. In this episode, we explore one Bible story where that kind of mentality didn't work out so well. And that was when King David was getting ready to pass down his throne to one of his sons. In this side-by-side comparison between David's sons Adonijah and Solomon, what we can learn is that our qualifications are irrelevant to God if we are not first faithful.Visit https://www.kainosproject.com to find other resources to help you tackle ancient truths in everyday settings, and be sure to subscribe to our email list to get all of our fresh content delivered straight to your inbox.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kainos-project/id1508890853Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7FLwkMnnFwukDXzzDuLgJi?si=56f195b5b16148ae Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

We serve the God of the New. And while we often must look back to move forward, our desire is to be a part of a fresh movement of God that reimagines how we understand ancient truths in light of our current realities and sees a brand new generation of Christians stepping into the abundant life that Jesus promised us.This is what Kainos means: NEW. It's one of a couple different Greek words found in the New Testament that describe something new. But what makes Kainos special is that it’s a complete reimagining of what has come before. It doesn’t forget or negate past moves of God but looks forward with a fresh imagination for what God can do today.Join us on this episode as we explore exactly what that means and how you can be a part of it.Visit https://www.kainosproject.com to find other resources to help you tackle ancient truths in everyday settings, and be sure to subscribe to our email list to get all of our fresh content delivered straight to your inbox.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/48kfYvq    Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7FLwkMnnFwukDXzzDuLgJi?si=56f195b5b16148ae  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

**JOIN OUR BOOK LAUNCH TEAM**The topic of dressing modesty is an evergreen issue in Evangelicalism. But with the release of a particularly bad music video on the topic, it's in the headlines once more.This week on the podcast, we dive into the idea of modesty culture, how it has shaped our view of women within the Church, the significance of a song like "Modest is Hottest" debuting at a meeting where sexual abuse allegations were one of the main points of conversation, and what biblical modesty might look like in a 21st century world.Access the show notes for this episode here, and check out our other resources (including our blog) at herandhymn.com.

Parenting his hard. Understanding the "biblical view" on parenting can be even harder.In this episode, we discuss how some common parenting values of suburban evangelicalism came into vogue with the rise of books and related media like Focus on the Family and Growing Kids God's Way.As we discuss, we reassess the parts of our upbringing that were cultural trends rather than a theological absolute. We wrestle with what might need to be amended in our modern age, especially as we look to our own two sons. Regardless of whether you are a parent or just grew up in a conservative evangelical home, we hope you'll commiserate with us about the complexities of training children up in the way they should go. Access the show notes for this episode here, and check out our other resources (including our blog) at herandhymn.com.

The term "woke" has been thrown about with such frequency (and often with such disdain) that the term has almost seemed to have lost its meaning. For many conservatives, "wokeness" has become more of a buzzword for anything liberal––and often radically so. In this episode, we discuss one instance where a "woke preacher" contemplates how we might tell the gospel story differently. Rather than starting with Genesis 3 ("You're a sinner"), might it be more effective to start with Genesis 1 ("You are created in the image of God")?In our discussion, we wrestle with whether repackaging important biblical themes to fit our cultural context is a concession to a sinful world or a legitimate recontextualization of timeless truths.We also look to some older sources of theological wisdom from the patristic era to see how the reformation has informed our understanding of what it means to be human (for good or for ill). Access the show notes for this episode here, and check out our other resources (including our blog) at herandhymn.com.
