    John Goldingay (PhD, University of Nottingham) joins The Bible (Unmuted) to chat about two important Old Testament prophetic books: Daniel and Ezekiel.

This episode covers a lot of ground and will leave listeners/viewers with a lot of further questions for reflection and consideration.

    Matt chats with Dr. Ingrid Faro about the problem of evil and suffering.

  • #156: On Brains, Feelings, & the Christian Faith
    Mar 5 2026

    What does it mean to seek God, and what does it mean to desire God? What role do our emotions play in seeking and desiring God? Can we still desire God even if we feel nothing? In this episode, Matt addresses these and other questions. In the Western Christian world, there’s a tendency to center one’s relationship with God around emotion and feelings. Some Christians turn Christianity into nothing but brainy intellectualism. How can we leave room for both emotions and the life of the mind without reducing everything down to one or the other? Listen to find out!


    Mentioned in this episode: “Teach me to seek you, and as I seek you, show yourself to me; for I cannot seek you unless you show me how, and I will never find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you by desiring you, and desire you by seeking you; let me find you by loving you, and love you in finding you. Amen." (Anselm of Canterbury / BCP 2019)

  • #155: An Interview with Thorsten Moritz
    Feb 26 2026

    Matt welcomes to the show his Doktorvater, Thorsten Moritz, to talk about all things hermeneutics. This million-dollar word “hermeneutics” is often associated with interpreting the Bible, but it can’t be reduced down to just that. Hermeneutics actually has to do with the broader human experience itself. This insight serves as the basis for Matt and Thorsten’s discussion, which delves into a range of topics: from the interdisciplinary nature of hermeneutics to the necessity of prejudgments to a metanarrative approach to Scripture.

  • #154: Musings on Prayer, Part 3
    Feb 18 2026

    Matt takes listeners through the text of Jeremiah 20, which records the prophet's prayer of dismay and discouragement. In his turmoil, Jeremiah questions God's character as he comes to term with his calling and his trials. Arguably, this text offers important insights about how prayer can become an avenue for experiencing God in the hard times, especially through seasons of doubt.
