Revelation 21 - All these things are gone forever 43:17

1h ago43:17

43:17

How do we keep our awe and attention on the Love of God as the story ends? The Adventist church has various more-or-less clear pictures it regularly tells about the closing stages of the Great Controversy. It is certainly not unique in its fascination with the apocalypse and transition to a restored resurrected eternity. We discuss a few details wh…

Episode 135: Daniel Oss -- World Tour Pro Turned Gravel Pro 1:08:03

2d ago1:08:03

1:08:03

Daniel Oss is the man. This long time World Tour professional raced on some of the biggest teams alongside some of the biggest names in the sport. From Liquigas to BMC to Bora-Hansgrohe to TotalEnergies, he was easy to pick out from the bunch with his rock-star long hair. He was also nearly always at the front and often pulling Peter Sagan along to…

John 8 - The truth will set you free 42:49

7d ago42:49

42:49

In the great controversy, what is Truth opposing? The lesson this week states it is a battle between "truth and error", but quotes from John 8 where Satan is called the "father of lies". It doesn't seem that error means exactly the same thing as lies, and so we explore this passage in John to see what might be the opposite of Truth. We strongly sus…

Episode 134: Roger Brown -- Let's Take On Unbound XL Again! 1:32:07

9d ago1:32:07

1:32:07

Roger Brown has a fan club. He's a four time Unbound rider, has accumulated more than 800 miles across the Kansas plains (which marks a considerable portion of his lifetime mileage). He's a father of four, a co-owner of mine at UnTapped, and he back for another edition of Unbound and another podcast! If you enjoy this show, check out his previous t…

John 20 - So I send you 41:13

15d ago41:13

41:13

We look honestly at the world in light of "the upcoming conflict" between God and Satan. The lesson this week takes a deliberate focus on the Catholic church and the pope, but we can't help looking broader for the Beastly powers mentioned in Revelation's description of end times. Our lived social experience no longer resounds to the great dichotomy…

2 Thessalonians 2 - Every kind of evil deception 35:40

22d ago35:40

35:40

Deception is a key theme when discussing spiritual conflict and controversy. The topic for this week is satanic deception, which the Adventist lesson guide identifies quite specifically with spiritualism. 2 Thessalonians 2 has a lot to say about a "man of lawlessness" instigating grand deceptions, but we find some of the details are not straightfor…

Episode 133: Lachlan Morton -- Unbound Winner, Professional Cyclist 1:34:27

22d ago1:34:27

1:34:27

Your 2024 Unbound 200 men's champion, ladies and gentlemen! Lots to talk about in this episode as Lachlan and Ted chat for nearly 90 minutes on all things bikes. From Lachlan's entry into the sport, his tough time in the World Tour, Lachlan and Ted's shared time in gravel and its enigmatic future, and of course ample race analysis from Unbound. Fol…

Exodus 34 - Filled with unfailing love 43:46

29d ago43:46

43:46

How does God's law reveal His character? We explore how God's Law (and the Sabbath) impact our picture of who God is. Are they the only way (or even a good way) of understanding God's character?By Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

Episode 132: Matej Mohoric -- UCI Gravel World Champion, TdF Stage winner (x3), Coming to Unbound! 1:06:33

29d ago1:06:33

1:06:33

There are certain people to watch for the win on any UCI road race start line and Matej Mohoric is certainly among them. He's won the road world championships as a junior and then u-23 rider, he's won three stages of the Tour de France, plus one stages each in the Giro and Vuelta. He tallied a monument, dramatically winning Milan-San Remo, dramatic…

Episode 131: Geerike "Gee" Schreurs -- Pro Soigneur Turned Pro Cyclist 1:07:01

1M ago1:07:01

1:07:01

Many people who end up among the infrastructure of cycling begin as cyclists themselves. If they make it to the professional ranks, they often segue to professional cycling as mechanics, team directors, team managers, or soigneurs. It's rare that the timetable is reverse and they go from a professional soigneur to a professional cyclist, but that's…

Zech 4 - The foundation of this temple 48:37

1M ago48:37

48:37

Imagery from the Old Testament sanctuary pervades the Bible. A listener comment points us towards Zechariah 4, which mirrors many elements from Rev 11 that we discussed recently. It also speaks of the sanctuary both literally (foundations being laid) and figuratively (lampstand metaphor). The New Testament seems to take this temple idea and radical…

Episode 130: Christopher Blevins -- Olympic Mountain Biker 56:50

1M ago56:50

56:50

Christopher Blevins is on a tear. Winning the opening round of the UCI cross-country mountain bike race in Brazil here in 2024, he finished with the silver medal the next week in round two. Wearing the stars and stripes as the reigning US national champion, Chris has the Olympics high on his mind this summer going into Paris. From his early days on…

1 Peter 1 - Prophets wanted to know 23:20

1M ago23:20

23:20

Hope is an incredibly powerful motivator. Prophets are fascinating and unsettling in an incredible variety of ways throughout the Bible, but one consistent theme is anticipation of the future. We look at Joseph's teenage dreams and explore how things don't turn out the way he probably expected. It seems one important role of prophecy is to remind u…

Revelation 11 - Power to my two witnesses 46:03

2M ago46:03

46:03

There's definitely controversy described in Revelation 11, and there could also be about this chapter! The lesson this week makes quite a strong statement about this chapter pointing to the French Revolution. We discuss a few cautions about confirmation bias, and don't see this connection particularly vividly in the text itself. Rather than try to …

Episode 129: Lauren Ten Dam -- Gravel Racing and Tour Divide 1:42:02

2M ago1:42:02

1:42:02

Laurens is a vibe. His Live Slow, Ride Fast mantra is a media company and it's a way of life! He has very big plans for 2024, so listen in as we talk the Portugal N2 trip, his target of Tour Divide, how he stays fit at 43, and what it takes to compete at the pointy end of World Tour bike races in this modern age. N2 trip in summary: https://www.you…

Ezra 10 - A proclamation was made 35:38

2M ago35:38

35:38

Reformers exhibit faith against all odds, but we recognise this more easily in hindsight. The bible has numerous accounts of "reformations", where followers of God either re-found truths of old or expanded into new truth. We mention a few examples before looking a bit more closely at Ezra. There is much to admire in this reformation story, but some…

John 9 - Now I see 44:00

2M ago44:00

44:00

Standing for the Truth is vital, but what if our "truth" needs tweaking? History is full of people who passionately defended what they felt was true, but which seems more questionable to us in retrospect. This problem is not new - exactly the same thing occurred in Biblical times. Throughout the Gospels people struggle to accept the Truth in Jesus …

John 17 - Teach them your word 43:55

2M ago43:55

43:55

Why is it so hard to accept an incarnational nature of scripture? Christians take that name because of their belief in Jesus as God incarnate - the whole point is that He had to become human in order for us to better understand who God is (and what we mean to Him). It seems reasonable to encounter the Bible in the same way: inspiration but through …

Episode 128: Tobin Ortenblad -- Professional Cyclist 1:15:13

2M ago1:15:13

1:15:13

The multi-disciplined Tobin Ortenblad joins us on the podcast today. The former u23 national champion in cyclocross, the recently tattooed SSCXWC victor, the often bearded and fun loving Tobin Ortenblad, that is! We talk all facets of cycling from his early days right up through the present at Levi's Gran Fondo. The state of road cycling, his favor…

1 John 4 - Love God and love each other 41:39

3M ago41:39

41:39

"Love or selfishness" forms an interesting axis. It might seem strange not to contrast love with hate, but the book of 1 John spends a lot of time on the relationship between love and a focus on what is best for others. It is quite a stimulating perspective on love and its role in the revelation of God. We realise that love can have many "opposites…

Episode 127: Noah Havlik -- He Beach-Cruised the MidSouth! 53:26

3M ago53:26

53:26

This conversation started with a social media post. Namely, this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/C40wy-_Oh5Z/?img_index=1 You could argue that Noah is not your average MidSouth competitor, unless it's argued that he's the exact, prototypical MidSouth competitor. On a lark, Noah hatched the idea of doing MidSouth on a $2 per day beach cruiser renta…

Genesis 2 - God put the tree 39:11

3M ago39:11

39:11

This new season will explore "the Great Controversy", and so we start with some of the biggest questions about good and evil. It is easy to get tied up in knots with this sort of thing, ending up squeezed into a rhetorical corner that sounds like God is responsible for bad things in the world. In a way that's the whole point of this theme and explo…

Psalm 126 - The Lord has done great things 40:04

3M ago40:04

40:04

It is tricky to summarise the Psalms, or even the things we've learnt from them this season. One helpful thought is that things are never "just symbols" - human societies are too much dominated by story-telling for that to work as a dismissive statement. Symbols matter, and feelings matter, and we find that validated by the Psalms.…

Episode 126: Michael van den Ham -- Professional Cyclist 1:21:26

3M ago1:21:26

1:21:26

Our guest today is Michael van den Ham. Michael is a long time staple to the North American cyclocross circuit, he’s a four time Canadian national champion, he’s tallied 6 UCI cyclocross race wins, he’s raced the world championships on an impressive seven different occasions, and he's supremely handy on a gravel bike. Not only that, he's recently r…

Psalm 134 - Stand by night 36:50

3M ago36:50

36:50

"Worship that never ends" speaks to more than just time. Psalm 134 is extremely brief but packs in a number of interesting thoughts. There's a suggestion that worship is valid at all times and all places, and we are invited to explore what it means to bless someone.By Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

Episode 125: Derek Teel -- What's it like to get hit by a car at 65mph 1:15:28

3M ago1:15:28

1:15:28

Derek Teel is on the podcast today. His strength training platform, Dialed Health, has become the gold standard among amateurs and pro cyclists alike. His following is prolific at @DialedHealth which perhaps has helped echo the story he's going to tell on today's episode of being hit by a car at 65mph and left for dead. This is a heart-wrenching st…

Psalm 122 - Standing inside your gates 36:35

4M ago36:35

36:35

Many Psalms speak joyfully or longingly about specific places, so how do we read them in a culture not much concerned about location? The idea of pilgrimage has been central to much of religious history, and yet is largely absent from protestant Christianity. Are we missing anything of importance? How might the idea apply to our own experience?…

Psalm 78 - Stories we have heard 36:23

4M ago36:23

36:23

"Lessons from the past" are important, but not always easy to transmit. This Psalm is dominated by an overview of Israelite history, with a remarkable focus on where they failed to stay faithful to God. It seems the main point is that "God cared for them" even though "the people kept sinning". It is interesting to reflect on how well lessons from t…

Psalm 2 - You are my son 41:34

4M ago41:34

41:34

Messianic elements in the Psalms can be tricky to handle. Some psalms obviously (to our eyes) foreshadow aspects of the earthly life and ministry of Jesus. Psalm 22 and 23 contain perhaps the most prominent examples, which we enjoyed in the first season of Sabbath School from Home. Psalm 2 makes mention of "submitting to God's royal son", but there…

Episode 124: Neilson Powless -- Professional Cyclist 1:00:59

4M ago1:00:59

1:00:59

Neilson Powless is just getting warmed up. His rise through the sport starts decades ago, when he and his sister Shayna were playing games secretly engineered by their parents to help encourage their endurance engines. Winning the XTerra World Championships in 2012, for example, indirectly shuttled him to picking up wins in the World Tour today. Re…

Psalm 141 - Drift toward evil 30:35

4M ago30:35

30:35

The Sabbath School topic this week is "wisdom for righteous living", and Psalm 141 serves us a good dose! It is clear that controlling what we say is a core step towards wisdom, and this psalm also contains a vivid reminder of how important it is to be open to correction. These are both harder than they initially appear, and we explore the themes a…

Psalm 57 - Have mercy! 31:50

4M ago31:50

31:50

Mercy seems to be one of God's most prominent characteristics. Psalm 57 is a beautiful celebration of God's mercy, but this concept keeps popping up all over the Bible. It is clearly an emphasis worth dwelling on.By Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

Psalm 41 - Kind to the poor 37:26

5M ago37:26

37:26

The theme of being kind to the poor is well-trodden on this podcast, but we turn to Psalm 41 for new insight. The Sabbath School lesson falls into a fascinating trap by using fairly heavy "us" and "them" language to describe the poor and needy. We don't claim to be in this category, but it is likely that some readers of the lesson will be. Psalm 41…

Episode 123: Ben Hoffman -- Professional Triathlete 1:16:18

5M ago1:16:18

1:16:18

Ben Hoffman is an amazing athlete. This born Coloradan, now Arizonan, is an 8 time Ironman champion, 7 time Ironman 70.3 champ, has finished as high as second at the hallowed Kona Ironman World Championships, as well as 4th place twice. He's a monster on the bike, duking it out on what's dubbed the fastest group ride in the country, there in Tucson…

Psalm 77 - The good old days 37:03

5M ago37:03

37:03

Thinking about "singing the Lord's song in a strange land" makes us wonder what feels normal and what feels strange. Exile in a foreign land is a substantial theme for many biblical authors, and the lesson this week applies the idea to our sin-bound world. This resonates with our calling to enter God's Kingdom, but it seems possible to get too carr…

Psalm 121 - Keeps you from all harm 37:34

5M ago37:34

37:34

Any discussion of how the Lord hears and delivers has to consider the times when he doesn't. This well-loved Psalm strongly endorses God's protection, and we find the passage to be uplifting and helpful. But it is certainly easy to find counter examples provided by people who weren't kept from all harm, and we discuss how this all holds together.…

Psalm 100 - the Lord is good 33:34

5M ago33:34

33:34

The Lord "reigning" is a somewhat antiquated metaphor in our contemporary social and political context. What does it tell us about God, and is there any helpful alternative imagery? We dwell on Psalm 100 to ponder the greatness and goodness of God.By Cameron and Lachlan Rogers
