Shock therapy for the disciples of Jesus is taken up another notch. After a full day of teaching and healing, Jesus wraps up the day for them in Capernaum with a trip “to the other side”, a place where no observant Jew would ever consider going to confront a man no Jew would ever have anything to do with. In this teaching from June 19th, 2005 at the Richland Bible Church in Richland, Michigan, Doug Greenwold explains contextually the impact of Jesus’ encounter with this demon-possessed man on both His disciples and on His burgeoning ministry.

Early in His ministry, Jesus revealed what would come to be called His rescue manifesto. Central to that process is Jesus’ signature brand of compassion, articulated first in His Sermon on the Mount, then at his hometown synagogue in Nazareth. In this teaching session at the First Presbyterian Church in Longview, Texas in 2007, Doug Greenwold examines contextually one of the most paradigm shattering experiences his disciples would encounter as Jesus demonstrates how that compassion is put into practice, establishing a trait that would come to define Christ followers for centuries to come.

Any notion of “being owned” might constitute a shock to anyone familiar with our American antebellum slavery experience. In this extract from a 2015 teaching at Trinity Bible Church in Lafayette, Louisiana, Doug Greenwold explains how slavery was integral to the Roman Empire, often the only path to freedom, and how the Apostle Paul capitalized on slavery as well as on other Roman cultural normatives to tailor the foundation of his infant urban Christian church and, moreover, how it applies to us today.

From 2011 until 2019, Doug Greenwold spent a half hour or so each Wednesday morning on the air, in conversation, on Broken Road Radio, a non-traditional Christian internet station. Those half-hours were dedicated to detailed explanations of biblical context communicated in a most personal and appealing way. While general topics were typically prearranged, impromptu discussion followed and revealed Doug in his best teaching form. These were informal conversations as opposed to lectures or formal teaching sessions. They typically begin with “small talk” and then progress into some of the most fascinating contextual revelations we have heard. We are pleased to make them available here entirely unedited.

These podcasts are arranged chronologically, newest to oldest, and each contains a brief paragraph summarizing the topic. Please feel free to download and share any of them. There is no charge. Click below to be taken to Doug’s podcast archive on Broken Road Radio’s website …
