Finding Family & Faith! @TruettSeminaryBaylor

This week on Out of Context, I’m joined by Dr. Tucker, Professor at Truett Seminary, as we take a close look at the book of Malachi. We explore how this often-misinterpreted text speaks to God’s people about tithing, community, and living out the Kingdom of God. Dr. Tucker helps us unpack the historical and cultural context of Malachi, showing how its message goes far beyond a simple checklist of giving. Together, we discuss how God calls His people into a life that reflects His Kingdom here on earth—through generosity, relational community, and faithful obedience. We’ll also be moving into Step 3 of the Interpretive Journey, continuing to learn how to faithfully bridge God’s Word from its original context into our lives today. This episode will equip you to read Malachi with fresh insight and see how God’s principles can shape how we live, give, and love in our communities. Biblical Rooting: "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need."

This week on Out of Context, I’m joined by Dr. Todd Still, Dean of Truett Seminary, as we dive into Paul’s words in Philippians. Together, we explore what these passages meant for their original audience and begin tackling Step 2 of the Interpretive Journey. If you’ve ever wondered why a passage meant something specific then but applies differently now, this conversation will help you see Scripture with deeper clarity and wisdom. Today let’s uncover the depth of Paul’s message and start learning how to bridge it faithfully into our lives today. Biblical Rooting: "Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need." -Philippians 4:11–12, ESV Show Resources: Smith & Helwys Bible Commentary: Philippians & Philemon enduringword.com https://planobiblechapel.org/constable-notes/ (Please note: We may share links to external resources for your convenience.
