Time With Giants: Recent Episodes
Chris Wall and Emily Kuykendall
Grief touches every life and tests every heart. Even when we prepare for grief, it often knocks us to our knees. We are the Time With Giants Show. Join us as we spend time with giants of the faith who experienced the power of God in the midst of chaos.
In our culture, men and women are at war to be the most important; Jesus models that we are both equally important. In fact, a church cannot be a healthy one unless we value each other the way Jesus exemplifies. Amber Hudler brings a fantastic voice to our show as we discuss women in ministry — the why it matters and how churches can make a way. Now more than ever, we need all hands on deck to share the Gospel. Amber serves as the kids minister at First Baptist Church Owasso and has served the church in a variety of teaching and leadership roles.

As followers of Jesus, we should really lean into the depth of who Jesus is and how He taught. Join us today to hear from Peter Williams, a renowned Bible scholar and teacher at the Tyndale House Cambridge in the UK, a place where Bible scholars from around the world gather to dive deeply into the Word of God. In his most recent book, The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Williams explains how Jesus spoke to teach both the most simple of audiences, while also referencing things the greatest of scholars could have caught.
Peter also addresses some Q&A style questions, like what resources pair well to understand scripture more fully and how should we respond as Bible following Christians to the LGBTQ+ movement.

Trey Shaw is an IMB missionary in Budapest, Hungary. He is currently writing his dissertation on why Christians should think about death differently and why we should even think about our own end. Trey believes that as Christians, we need to take Christ at his Word and accept that we have an end. We choose obedience to God when we acknowledge our mortality because we believe that He has defeated death, so we don't have reason to fear it.

Get ready to catch our podcast, Time With Giants, launching January 10th. We interview giants of the faith who have walked with God through the difficulties of life and come out on the other side more assured of His presence in their lives. Grief isn't something we can always prepare for, but when we have hope in the eternal salvation found in Jesus, not all is lost when things fall apart.
Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may overflow with hope."
