The Belfast Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In Luke's final episode in the Genesis Series, he attempts to address more basic questions about what the Biblical text is doing on earth in Genesis. What kind of text is it? How does it operate? And how are we meant to take that?

The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

What is it about prayer that many find so difficult? What about spiritual disciples make them feel as though they are always at arm's length? How does our view of salvation affect how we engage with spiritual practices? Join Daniel and me as we go through the end of chapter 9 of The Divine Conspiracy, along with Shia Labeouf, to help answer some of these questions.

As Daniel and I continue to talk about chapter 7, we focus in on what it means to be formed by praying for what is good for us, rather than what we may merely want.

As we step into chapter 7, Daniel and I discuss the disastrous consequences of condemnation that can hinder us from creating communities of prayerful love.

In this final episode on chapter 6, Daniel and I bring together thoughts from the last three episodes and attempt to provide a way for us to answer the question- "Do you value the things of heaven?"

V=B-C (Value Equals Benefit Minus Cost). This is the equation Daniel shares as we investigate what it means to treasure things in our lives.

In reading chapter 6 of Willard's book, I was struck by the simple belief that in fasting and giving up food, the Christian believes with Christ that we have food others do not know about. Or do you believe that? It's the confession of Jesus in John's Gospel, so we may do good to consider it. Or, like me, are you addicted to the pleasure of food? Follow us on

What is it to practice prayer the way Jesus tells us to in the Sermon on the Mount? What are some ways that we can go wrong when we pray? Is it important to have a place in your house to pray?

What does it mean to become the kind of person who can do what Jesus says? Is it merely being pure in the ritual sense or the moral sense? Is there a way that the two interact in a meaningful way?

As we discuss becoming people who can fulfill the law, we must know what purity Christ calls us towards. Is it to be ritually pure or morally pure? Is there a difference? Does Jesus put one before the other? We will have part two next week!
