All Things Bright and Beautiful

Jenna DiPrima and Lydia Schaible

Religion & Spirituality

Frequency: 1 episode/32d. Total Eps: 38

Our daily lives are inundated with ideas. The question we must ask ourselves is, how can we think critically about these ideas in order to identify what is bright with the light of truth, beautiful by a perfect standard, wise with the fear of the Lord, and wonderful in true virtue? Hosted by Jenna DiPrima and Lydia Schaible, All Things Bright and Beautiful is a discussion of life, books, and theology from a confessionally reformed Christian perspective. Our goal is to encourage listeners to read widely, think deeply, and engage in conversations that matter. New episodes every other Tuesday.

38. "Digital Liturgies" with Guest Samuel James

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 53:23

Join us as we discuss technology and how the internet shapes our human desires with Samuel James, the author of “Digital Liturgies.” James encourages us to use Biblical wisdom as we navigate technology in our online age. He writes, “Rather than being a neutral tool, the internet is an epistemological environment– a spiritual and intellectual habitat–that creates in its members particular ways of thinking, feeling, and believing.” Technology is powerful. Therefore, we must evaluate how to use it wisely. We also cover topics like how the internet has changed the publishing industry and the importance of the physical gathering, congregational singing, and friendship in our disembodied age.

37. "The Emotional Life of Our Lord" by B.B. Warfield

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 32:10

Most would agree that Christ had emotions, but they have not given a great deal of thought to the significance of Christ’s emotional life. By neglecting to reflect on the Lord’s emotional life, we fail to think deeply about what it means that the Son of God became a true human being for our sakes. Our understanding of the significance of the incarnation itself is at stake.

Join us as we discuss B.B. Warfield’s excellent book, The Emotional Life of Our Lord. We talk about some common errors we make when thinking about Christ’s emotions, what we can learn from the emotional life of Christ, and what this means for our own emotions.

Season 3 · Episode 28

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 • Duration 44:18

We’re back! In this episode we talk about where we’ve been this last year: the good and the difficult. We share our thoughts on suffering, the sovereignty of God, and how God’s goodness, provision, and nearness were magnified in the events that transpired in our lives most recently. We discuss the most helpful books we’ve read on the topic (and some of our favorite more light-hearted reads).

26. Union with Christ and "You Are Not Your Own" with Guest Dr. Alan Noble

Episode 26

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 • Duration 34:01

How do we grapple with a world that seems, as T.S. Eliot puts it “advances progressively backward.” In his book You Are Not Your Own, Dr. Alan Noble argues that the increasing cultural emphasis on efficiency, and increasing isolation have created an inhuman world. In this episode we talk with Dr. Noble about how our unity with Christ gives us meaning, purpose, and hope as we live in this world. We discuss despair, self-medication and escapism, and the antidotes of gratitude toward God, examining ourselves, death to self, and resting in belonging to Christ, our only hope in life and death.

Episode 25

Tuesday, October 18, 2022 • Duration 48:35

Why is the local church important? In this episode we’re joined by Erin Wheeler to discuss the centrality of the church in the life of the Christian. We discuss how culture has impacted our ecclesiology, the gift the church can be in how we serve one another, and the necessity of our physical presence in the local church. We discuss the purpose of the church, criticisms of the church and how we should think about them, how we can prioritize the local church in various stages of our lives, and the ins and outs of discipleship.

24. Why are we Confessionally Reformed?

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 • Duration 40:39

Why do we take the time to introduce ourselves as “confessionally reformed?" In this episode we discuss Carl Trueman’s book The Creedal Imperative. We talk about why we think confessionalism is important and warn against the cultural influence that causes us to approach tradition with suspicion. We discuss authority, tradition, the power of words, and how embracing creeds and confessions can lead to worship and unity.

23. How Should Christians Think About the Arts and Humor? with Guest James Cary

Tuesday, September 20, 2022 • Duration 52:52

Art and humor can be difficult to define, but we all know it when we see it. But how should Christians think about the arts and humor? Are there boundaries and rules to what Christians produce and consume? In this episode we’re joined by BBC comedy writer, author, and podcaster, James Cary. We discuss the importance of enjoying the arts, how comedy is about truth-telling yet still seems to be at odds with religion. Cary discusses his view that Art is important, life is poetry, the Bible is funny (and that Jesus is too). He answers questions on the risks of reading the Bible without a sense of humor, and the essentially human component of humor.

22. "God and the Transgender Debate" with Guest Dr. Andrew Walker

Tuesday, August 30, 2022 • Duration 50:40

At the heart of the transgender debate is the issue of human dignity. Therefore, it is crucial that Christians should care about current public policy and firmly defend biblical principles that promote truth telling and human flourishing. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Andrew Walker. Together we discuss the overturn of Roe, how to think about current social and political issues from a biblical perspective, and what the average Christian should think of as their duty in the face of ethical issues such as abortion and transgenderism. Dr. Walker gives practical, compassionate advice on how we should think about gender, the call we have all been given for truth-telling, and what the landscape of religious liberty looks like now (and may look like in the future) as we engage with these pressing issues.

Tuesday, July 12, 2022 • Duration 57:31

In this special episode we interview Dr. Brent Boles, discussing his book Supremely Wrong: The Injustice of Abortion. He gives a thorough overview of abortion and the issues surrounding it, historically, medically, and legally. He addresses common myths about abortion, what Roe accomplished, and what its overturn means for those of us who value life.
