19.20 - The Government, the Gospel, and the Christian: Pick a Side?
What if the nation you despise most is actually on God's payroll? In this episode of The After Class Podcast, John, Ron, and Sam trace what the Bible really says about God and governing authorities — from Babylon and Assyria to Cyrus the Great — and why the "lesser of two evils" argument might be more sub-Christian than you think. If politics has been messing with your faith, this one's for you!

9.19 - The Government, the Gospel, and the Christian: Introduction
How does the language of the Bible talk about how God's people should relate to governing authorities and the level of our engagement with them? What do we do when differing groups of Christians land on different sides regarding the same administration? Split? μὴ γένοιτο ("May it never be!"). Today the guys begin investigating different approaches Christians take when approaching government and politics. But to what extent is it okay to participate in the system; endorse certain styles of government, parties, candidates, or policies; or preach and teach on government policies? To what extent should these things occupy our minds, and to what extent should we hold a position? Will you join the conversation, or land on an opposing side? Tune in to find out.

9.18 – Lord's Supper 6: More Than a Meal
Today, the guys wrap up the series and share some final observations and takeaways. But first, Paul writes that in the Supper we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes, through the bread and the cup. But how often do we do this? And what does it mean to proclaim His death? Who is guilty of eating in an unworthy manner when they come together for the Lord's Supper? Are we doing the right thing in the wrong way? Tune in today to find out!

9.17 - Lord's Supper 5: The Flesh and the Blood
So far guys have covered the following aspects in the Lord's Supper series: * Building on OT sacred meals * Commemorating key events in sacred history * Meal practices with Jesus and His disciples * An experience of the Kingdom of God—"a Kingdom meal" Today the guys dive into the body of the Lord's Supper—specifically, "this is my (Christ's) body." So, are Christians cannibals, or is this some form of symbolic gesture? Or is there more to it than that? What are you actually partaking of? Tune in to find out!

9.16 - Lord's Supper 4: Three Accounts
Today, the guys look into the Last Supper accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, investigating the differences and what they reveal about the Lord's Supper, the influence of Passover, and how it impacts our practice today. What do Passover and the Last Supper have in common? And what don't they? Tune in today to find out.

9.15 - Lord's Supper 3: Celebrating the Kingdom
Ritual? Meal? Nourishment? Remembrance? Micro-banquet? Flesh and blood? What is the Lord's Supper—and how are we meant to practice it? What does it have to do with the other meals we share as believers, and how do the practices of the early church shape our understanding today? Join the guys as they dig into the meaning behind the meal—and how it reveals Christ and His Kingdom, and the first fruits of the banquet to come.

9.14 - Lord's Supper 2: The Heart of the Meals
Who do you eat with? Sinners? Tax collectors? Church leaders and influencers? Today, the guys survey the wider narrative of meals presented in the New Testament in hopes of enriching our understanding of the Last Supper.

9.13 - Lord's Supper 1: Setting the Table
What is the Lord's Supper? Who can partake in it? What is it about? In today's episode, the guys set the table for how the Bible speaks about food, festival, and feast. Pull up a chair and prepare to dig into what the Bible has to say about food, as we begin to unpack the Lord's Supper.
