20:50This episode dives into the significant political question posed by Ronald Reagan during the closing moments of his 1980 presidential debate with Jimmy Carter: 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?' Ken Woodward explores the context of the 1980 political climate, marked by economic difficulties, high inflation, unemployment, and international issues such as the Iran hostage crisis and concerns about U.S. global standing and nuclear threats. Reagan's question, which became iconic in U.S. political discourse, was noted for its simplicity, personal relevance, emotional resonance, and strategic timing. The question invited voters to reflect on their circumstances rather than abstract policies, ultimately contributing to Reagan's landslide victory. The episode details six crucial lessons for crafting influential questions, emphasizing audience perspective, engagement, simplicity, timing, self-reflection, and a call to action. Listeners are encouraged to consider how such questions have shaped their decisions and to apply these insights in personal and professional contexts. This Curated Questions episode can be found on all major platforms and at CuratedQuestions.com . Keep questioning!

Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? Where do you feel it in your body? What emotions come to the surface? What pictures race through your mind? Would it kill you to stop chewing your food with your mouth open? What is your number seven? What comes to mind? Did you feel the knee-jerk need to answer right away when your politician asked? Did you actually do the homework to determine what factors were most important to you, then look at data vice depending on emotion? Is it any easier to see why someone in a different circumstance may answer differently than you? How did the question affect your answer when the opposing politician asked it? Did you use the same metric for the candidates or give your preferred candidate extra leeway? What famous questions continue to pop up in your world?…

39:45The passage of time is what makes the universe breathe. Humanity's marking of that time by numbers, events, and eras has been our attempt at ordering our existence by measuring years or even generations. As the clock ticks upward one more incremental step, we stop, reflect, and consider how we live with and through time, exploreing some meta themes—overarching motifs—of the lives we live, the time we keep (and waste), and how this moment truly is the most important in our lives.…

The Bible calls Jesus “Prince of Peace” in ... well, it doesn’t. That title comes from a message of hope and restoration from the prophet Isaiah centuries before Jesus’ birth. While we can’t not see Jesus in that passage, people in Jesus’ day struggled to see how it could be about Jesus of Nazareth. This second Sunday of Advent we unpack this title we ascribe to Jesus and explore the ways in which Jesus’ life seemed to bring anything but peace to his friends and enemies.…

54:08Many teachings on following Jesus are inspirational. They're about love, connecting with God, and experiencing life in new and "abundant" ways. But a serious reading of Jesus' teachings suggests that discipleship is a very high calling, and costly. In fact, it may end up costing you your life. In the parable of the tower builder who runs out of money, and the king who goes to war with an insufficient army (from Luke 14), Jesus warns us, "Don't be that guy." Seriously consider what you're getting yourself into. Consider the very, very high bar that Jesus has set for those who wish to follow in his Way, and how high expectations are exactly what we need today.…

38:54Twice in chapter six Paul exhorts the Romans to no longer continue sinning. He even uses an exasperated expression, "Heaven Forbid!" In addition to the spiritual teaching that we should do the right thing, there appears to be another layer, a deeper undercurrent in the teaching. Some appear to be arguing for a kind of "theological calculus." If sinning increases grace, then sinning must therefore be good. That kind of thinking—"spiritual algorithm"—is what Paul says leads to death. But we have been raised with Christ and are very much alive. As we explore this ancient teaching in light of our modern world of AI (artificial intelligence) we are exhorted to hold desperately on to our humanity, forsaking the "spiritual algorithm," because we don't do math. We do Jesus.…

44:09In introducing the Letter to the Colossians, we will draw our attention to a theme of Paul's letters—and of the Biblical narrative—that begins, not with behavioral modification, but a completely radical and transformative view of the new humanity that emerges in Christ.

We've been talking for weeks now about Jesus' "sheep" and the loving mercy that defines followers of Jesus. But to the "goats", Jesus says, "Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels... then they will go into eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Those are... high stakes! We end of our series in Matthew 25 by talking through Jesus' apocalyptic warning to his disciples and how we can heed that warning today.…
Who are the poor? Who are the least of these? And how might we truly tune our hearts to Jesus' presence in our midst?

Poverty is a problem here in America and around the world. So, as Christians, what do we do? Some people throw their hands up because solving this problem, ending poverty, seems way too ambitious and impossibly expensive. And Jesus is even quoted in the Bible as saying that ‘the poor will always be with you.” But when we read the Bible, from Genesis throughout the New Testament, we see a constant revelation of God’s will that no one should be made hungry, sick, homeless, underpaid, indebted, or bereft by the violence of social injustice. God’s intention is that abundance should be a blessing for all.…
“The least of these” has been understood to be the marginalized, the disenfranchised, and the ostracized, those who have been slighted or forgotten by society. But in this passage, they are called “my family.” This is both an identity statement and a profound shift of perspective. What you do for those who are on the margins of society is different from what you would do for your family. And if we can change our worldview, we can change the world viewed.…
The elements in Matthew 25 are not mere materials. They speak to a bigger reality in which we are invited to live as we serve the least of these.

Service. Fealty. Loyalty. These are the characteristics of subjects to a king. And even though this common code looks different in social, religious, and political arenas, the idea is essentially the same. The top of the hierarchy demands allegiance, and proper honor to a “master” requires it. In Matthew 25, Jesus teaches that while faithfulness to God requires the same level of commitment, the purpose and focus are radically different.…

Matthew 25 uses the sheep and goats to describe Jesus' calling. And which one we are, Jesus teaches, is determined by how we treat others.

39:11Jesus offers Peter a (naive? impractical? optional?) vision of a kingdom through which God defeats violence without violence. And it’s hard to see ourselves as violent anyway…maybe because our privileges allow many of us to distance ourselves from the people and processes that do our violence for us (see: what you ate for dinner last night). Peter’s audacious allegation, learned the hard way, is that our love is solely and sufficiently able to end evil, perhaps one of the most offensive things ever taught.…

37:41One of the most challenging verses in the Bible is where Peter tells his readers that slaves are to submit to their masters. We'll navigate the historical context of slavery and biblical teachings, seeking a deeper understanding of how we can approach problematic passages while upholding modern ethical values. Ultimately, we will explore three questions: What does the Bible say about slavery?, What does the Bible say about racism?, What does this mean for you and for us? Together we will take this opportunity to grapple with the complexities of ancient texts and their impact on our lives today.…

40:30Christian identity and fidelity culminates in a critical question. “Now what?” How do we live out this kind of life—a life of love, grace, mercy, and salvation—in an overwhelmingly powerful culture that mocks Christianity, and a political complex that murdered the founder of this faith? How shall we now live when there is slavery, economic disparity, social inequality, corrupt government, and more? The secret, no surprise, is found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Far from “blind faith,” however, this Way empowers a sense of agency and autonomy. No matter how challenging the systems of power are, nothing can strip you of the ability to have meaning and purpose. This kind of spirituality uses the end goal (the “telos”) as a means of transforming the world, beginning with us.…

45:01To be a follower of Jesus in a foreign land is to be part of a long history of people staying true in attitude, actions, behaviors, and beliefs. This kind of devotion is spoken of by the prophets and modeled by Jesus. And the metaphor used to illustrate this kind of life is the image of “living stones being built into a spiritual house.” Just as rocks were memorials to God’s power and action, so too shall we be living reminders in our current communities.…

45:42The letters of Peter to the scattered Christians in Asia Minor are a shepherd’s encouragement and exhortation to remain fiercely faithful to Jesus while living in a foreign land. The social, political, and economic realities that cause suffering and tragedy will continue to be harsh and difficult. Nevertheless, followers of Jesus can and should embrace a “living hope” that is found in the identity, fidelity, and teleology of the people of God. (Don't worry. We'll explain it all!) To understand this, we must be reminded of the context of these early Christians and the identities that so transformed their worldview.…

1 Stewards of Eden: What the Bible Says About Creation Care w/Sandra Richter 1:00:19

1:00:19Our worsening ecological crisis is wreaking havoc all over the world and is increasingly threatening the viability of life on this planet. But while this continued degradation of pollution and extraction is advanced through political policies and social practices, the root problem is truly a philosophical and spiritual deficiency. For many Christians, at the core are the beliefs that humans are separate from nature, that we are to have “dominion” over the world, that we are to subdue nature to our will and control, that the elements of this planet are a commodity to be used for all that we think that it’s worth, and that the ultimate focus of spiritual faith is the afterlife, the destination of heaven, and the salvation of our souls. What is profoundly tragic is that this view of faith is antithetical to what is actually taught in the biblical texts. From Genesis through Revelation, the Bible asserts that the redemption of all of creation is central to its good news, and that teaching is woven through the narratives, the law codes, the prophecies, and the theologies that we find in its writings. And our commission as human beings is to responsible stewards, to advance caretaking, protection, and sustainability of the land as fundamental to our being made in the image and likeness of God, for our existence, and our thriving. Dr. Sandra Richter is the Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College and the author The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament, and her most recent book Stewards of Eden: What Scripture Says About The Environment and Why It Matters where she illuminates for us all of these perspectives and more.

41:14While Peter is waiting for lunch, he receives a deeply puzzling vision about “clean” and “unclean” foods. Then he immediately gets pulled into traveling to a Gentile’s house to preach the gospel. While Peter is talking with them about Jesus, he witnesses something in them that forces him to rethink his theology. What Peter experienced suggest that our experiences, too, shape how big or small we imagine God’s love to be.…
