Moody RadioJoin us for a great hour of conversation designed to help you think biblically and critically. We start with some of the headlines of the day and then move to a conversation about science – sound science that tells us that pre-born babies do feel pain. With that fact well established, what does it say about how we should approach the issue of abortion? We round out the hour talking about life in a post-Roe world and why there is still so much to do.
Jesus shows up where we least expect him—to Mary Magdalene in the garden, to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, to Thomas when he is full of insecurity. Just as the resurrected Jesus surprised his disciples, he also surprises us today, showing up in the midst of our sorrows, uncertainties, and joys. Our guest, a pastor, examines Jesus’s appearances after his resurrection to show us how Jesus meets us today. He will share some of his own stories of God showing up amid financial uncertainty, pregnancy loss, a grim medical diagnosis within his family, and the unrest and uncertainty that followed.
