How Christians Should Think About AI, Culture, and Truth (Feat. Dr. Mohler)

Fan Favorite: Kingdom People in an Empire World (Feat. Kristi McLelland)

New episodes are coming this fall when Downline Institute kicks back up at the end of August — and we can't wait. Until then, we're revisiting the conversations our listeners have loved most, dropping every other week all summer long. Consider this your summer listening list. Kristi McLelland is a Bible nerd in the best possible way. She's been taking people to Israel for 20 years, teaches at Williamson College in Tennessee, and has made it her life's mission to help everyday Christians understand the Bible in its world. In this episode she brings that same energy to early church history, tracing the story from a Spirit-filled room in Jerusalem all the way to the halls of Roman power. She'll meet you around a fire pit and change the way you read Scripture.

Beneath the Weight of Sorrow (Feat. Mark Vroegop)

Suffering has a way of exposing what we really believe about God.
