My New Podcast, "That's a Great Question," is Now Live
"That's a Great Question" - my new teaching podcast - is now available on YouTube as well as Apple, Spotify, and Amazon Podcasts
My regular Sunday morning Substack essays will resume next Sunday, September 28. But this week, I’m excited to use this space to share something I’ve been working on for several months.
Today - Monday, September 22 - marks the official launch of my new video and audio podcast, That’s a Great Question, now available on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and Amazon.
Along with weekly Substack essays, this adds a twice-weekly video and audio forum where common questions can be engaged from a Gospel-centered lens.
After nearly three decades of pastoring, speaking, and writing, I’m convinced that the most important conversations start with raw, sometimes unsettling questions like:
Why do I feel so restless?
Can faith and doubt coexist?
How do I forgive others?
How do I forgive myself?
Can I trust the Bible?
Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
How can I know God loves me?
What will happen when I die?
God’s sovereign goodness, joined with our honest questions, invites us to bring both our longings and our protests before Him. The Lord’s own spirit of welcome is what this new project is all about - and why it bears the name That’s a Great Question.

What You Can Expect
That’s a Great Question will not be about quick fixes, slogans, or hot takes. Instead, it will provide thoughtful, Scripture-shaped responses that take our questions seriously and address them with honesty, hope, and depth.
Each episode - about ten minutes long - will be designed for your commute, a workout, a walk, or listening to over coffee. It can also serve as a springboard for personal reflection, family devotionals, or group discussion.
Every Monday and Thursday, we’ll take up one “great question” and explore it through the lens of Scripture, history, culture, and lived experience.
In addition to Scripture, you’ll hear from voices like Augustine, Flannery O’Connor, C.S. Lewis, Fleming Rutledge, Tim Keller, Madeleine L’Engle, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Simone Weil, Dallas Willard, and many more. You’ll also hear real stories - ancient and modern - that show how truth, goodness, and beauty break through in our complex, broken, beautiful world.
The aim of this project is simple: to fill our minds with what is true, good, and beautiful, so that our hearts are stirred to worship Christ and our hands are moved to join God in His mission of loving people, places, and things to life.

I’m wondering how one resolves the conflict of an invitation to serve where you would have never thought you’d be given an opportunity…yet having aging widows who need serving and help, not to mention grown children with littles, who you love so you want to be there for them…they also need help here and there….and yet having a desire and feeling a call to serve but feeling the tug to be available for family and not neglect the widows…and not being able to do both. Am I loving my family more than God in not answering the call…or if I go to serve am I giving to God and excusing myself from what should have been done in obedience? Like the Pharisees and Corbin?
Wow this is going to be such a blessing, thank you sir!
