Thoughts on Racial Unity in the Adventist Church (Ingram London)
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week we are looking into a little bit of history within our church regarding segregation, and the structural divisions within the church that took place because of racism. We also explore the contemporary conversations surrounding what it would like to unify conferences whose initial schism took place as a result of racism. Would this indeed be beneficial or would it endanger the progress of Black communities in exchange for an idealistic utopia that may not exist this side of Eden? We also discuss the idea of corporate repentance and what that would entail. This week my guest is Ingram London a Ph.D. student at Andrews University studying the sanctuary and Black theology. We will have some book recommendations available for you at the end of this episode so stay tuned.

George Floyd, Black Lives Matter & The Church (Michael Nixon, J.D.)
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week we are discussing George Floyd and the many facets of conversation that are taking place both within society and the church regarding race, social justice, and equality. I am honored to have as my guest, Michael Nixon, a lawyer who is also the VP of Diversity and Inclusion at Andrews University. Not only are we a country dealing with the stress and anxiety of prolonged quarantines, record-high unemployment, economic uncertainties, but George Floyd was another reminder of racism, social inequity, and injustice that continues to exist in this country. So we’re going to try and answer some questions regarding the George Floyd case, as well as the social phenomenon that has arisen in its wake along with some practical steps a person can take towards becoming anti-racist. We also discuss secondary trauma and the effects of witnessing these types of events in communities, what are some policy changes that could make a difference, and how the church can contribute to the conversation and the work of social justice. Before we get started, we want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible.

How do we create a space for meaningful human connection? We filmed this particular segment before our current quarantine, which has only proved to be more relevant today as our worlds have slowed down and we find time to make space to learn and grow from each other.

Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week our guest is Dr. Daniel Gonzalez-Socoloske, professor of ecology at Andrews University. This week, we are discussing the importance of developing a “land ethic,” in addition to the ethics, we hold towards both God and man.

Growing Young Next Generation Churches (Dr. A. Allan Martin)
Wednesday Apr 29, 2020
Wednesday Apr 29, 2020
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week our guest is Dr. A. Allan Martin, the teaching pastor at Younger Generation Church. In our current era of quaratine and isolation, I’m sure the question on many minds is how will the church create community in the days ahead? One thing I’m sure we’ve learned, by being deprived of it, is that community IS deeply important. Community is vitally connected to what it means to be human. So this week, we have Dr. Martin, a former professor at Andrews University and research facilitator for one of Barna Group’s latest studies called Growing Young Adventists, exploring what are the key components for growing vibrant communities of faith. Before we get started, we want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible.

Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week our guest is once again Dr. Jerome Skinner, professor of Old Testament Exegesis and Theology at Andrews University. If you haven’t already checked out last week’s episode with him on “How to Read the Bible,” be sure you do so, there are lots of insights into the kind of approaches and methods that will help you when studying scripture. This week, we are applying our knowledge from last week in methodological approaches, to the book of Genesis. We discuss topics like, is the book of Genesis a scientific account of creation? How early in the Torah are we introduced to the concept of the Messiah and how central is this to the theme of the Old Testament? Before we get started, we want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible.

Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week our guest is Dr. Jerome Skinner, professor of Old Testament Exegesis and Theology at Andrews University. Ever get stuck wondering just how to approach reading scripture? How much should we consider historical contexts, cultural contexts? How should we approach passages where God appears to be harsh and unloving?

But before we get started, we want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible.

Apocrypha, Biblical Textual Criticism, and Certainty (Dr. John C. Peckham)
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020
Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussions. This week we are continuing our discussion with Dr. John Peckham, professor of Theology and Christian Philosophy at Andrews University. If you haven’t already checked out last week’s episode with him, now is the time to do since we’ll be picking back up our conversation with him starting with the New Testament apocrypha like the gospel of thomas and judas. We’ll also be looking into some textual criticisms that test the reliability of scripture, and we end with looking at some myths of the enlightenment that deal with certainty including how the practice of “faith” is present in every person’s worldview, regardless of whether one is religious or secular.
