Steve Brown Etc.

"Just you wait until your father gets home!" That's a phrase that will send many kids into hiding. Dads are big and scary, and they lay down the law. But what if that's an ill-conceived role that has many adults hiding from God? Join Dr. Scott Keith on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his book, Being Dad: Father as a Picture of God's Grace. There is a biblical way of being a dad that can point us all to the love of our Heavenly Father. Dr. Keith is the Executive Director of 1517 The Legacy Project and Adjunct Professor of Theology at Concordia University, Irvine. He's also a co-host of The Thinking Fellows Podcast. Join Dr. Keith, Steve Brown, and a bunch of other great speakers at Here We Still Stand: A Reformation Conference, October 19-21 in San Diego, California.

If you're looking for an honest, hilarious, and hopeful take from the trenches of modern life, Sarah Condon is the right woman for the job. (If you're not looking for those things, you should be). Join Sarah on Steve Brown, Etc. for fun stories and insights from her book, Churchy: The Real Life Adventures of a Wife, Mom, and Priest. She may be churchy, but she's no stereotypical church lady. Sarah Condon is an Episcopal clergy woman at St. Martin's Church in Houston. She's also a frequent contributor to Mockingbird, a ministry that seeks to connect the Christian faith with realities of everyday life in fresh and down-to-earth ways.

Jesus prayed that Christians would all be one, and that the world would believe when they see our unity. That's not working out so well. What's up with that?! Join Dr. Luder Whitlock on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, Divided We Fall: Overcoming a History of Christian Disunity. Past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future results. Dr. Luder Whitlock served as president of Reformed Theological Seminary from 1978 to 2001. Today he is executive director of the CNL Charitable Foundation and the JMS Foundation, president of Excelsis, and minister at large for the First Presbyterian Church of Orlando.

We're all looking for salvation in something or someone promising a path to the good life. Christian or not, we all have little saviors who offer a list of things to do in order to have the perfect marriage, family, and country. But when Christians put their faith in their ability to perform for God instead of his performance for them, it strikes at the heart of what we say we believe. Join Marci Preheim on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of her new book, Little Saviors: How Moralism Kills Intimacy and the Gospel of Grace. There is a true savior who is the way and the life we're all longing for. Marci is the co-host of the podcast Fundyland Sees Red, a regular writer for Key Life, and the author of Grace Is Free: One Woman’s Journey From Fundamentalism to Failure to Faith.

Does the word "discipleship" make you cringe? Have you given up on trying to fit into the Christian subculture mold? Maybe there's some stuff in your life you've tried to quit over and over again, but you just can't. Well have we got a show for you. Join Jared Wilson on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, The Imperfect Disciple: Grace for People Who Can't Get Their Act Together. You really can trust the gospel to keep you truckin' through the mess of real life. Jared Wilson is the director of content strategy for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and managing editor of For the Church, Midwestern's site for gospel-centered resources. He's also the author of a bunch of books and a popular speaker. Check out Jared's Gospel Coalition blog, The Gospel-Driven Church.
