What the OT can teach us about cultural context (w/ Dr. Jerry Hwang)

In this episode JM talks with Dr. Jerry Hwang about how the Hebrew Bible contextualizes faith in YHWH for its surrounding ancient cultures...and what that has to teach Christians today, in various Asian contexts as well as those of us in Western contexts!

What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”?? Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo. Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture. Thus Disciple Dojo is intended as a virtual Dojo–where students of the Master can be sharpened, challenged, equipped and encouraged as they continue to become more and more like the One they serve…minus the scrapes and bruises!
