Prairie Institute launches Free Theology 100 Course

July 25, 2014 by Converge Admin

Theology. It’s the study of the nature of God and religious belief. It’s the ongoing conversation about God, what is said in the Bible, and how He is working in our world. On August 1, Prairie Bible Institute will launch Theology 100, a free online one-credit course, for all those wanting to be more intentional about studying […]

Is my Bible broken?

June 17, 2014 by Nate Collins

Because it sure feels that way The Problem I’ve often felt frustrated when reading my Bible. I’ll flip through its delicate pages, hoping I’ll hear something from God. Because isn’t that what’s supposed to happen? I always hear stories about people who hear God talking to them as if they were Moses. But I almost […]

Being generous despite our debt

June 3, 2014 by Touray Kungkagam

I will be honest. When I get my pay cheque I don’t always feel generous towards others. My first thought is keeping it all. My mind is consumed with student loan balances and costly bills. The rising cost of education has put the millennial generation in precarious financial waters. Education often feels more like a heavy yoke than an […]

Is atheism a new ethnicity?

April 21, 2014 by Paul Arnold

Atheists are a hard group to pin down. They are defined not by what they believe, but by what they don’t believe — namely, God. Because of this, atheism is by definition a negative belief, not a positive one. Holding a negative belief can at times be problematic. It would be like if somebody asked […]

Why we should keep the Sabbath

March 10, 2014 by Leah Kostamo

My family keeps the Sabbath. Not religiously — as in, we don’t always do religious things. But we are pretty religious about “keeping” it. Usually we go to church. Usually we eat simply — eggs and toast is normal fare for Sunday dinners. Usually we say “no” to invitations and engagements unless they involve family. […]

Jesus Feminist

August 26, 2013 by Sarah Bessey

jesus feminist

I’m not a bitter and angry feminist. Oh, no. I’m a Jesus-following, joy-filled feminist, a Jesus-made-a-feminist-out-of-me feminist. I’m no man-hater: I’m surrounded by good men, brave men who celebrate, affirm, welcome, strengthen, and protect. There’s no bitterness in my words, my axes aren’t for grinding. I’m ready to beat them into ploughshares. As my friend […]

Looking beyond feminism

July 29, 2013 by Craig Ketchum

Looking beyond feminism

Looking beyond feminism: What Christianity and feminism have in common A grade 12 student of mine amazed me recently in her critique of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech. “It was visionary for his time”, she quipped, “but we can’t stop there. We need to have an even bigger vision today.” Like […]

On feminism with John Stackhouse

July 23, 2013 by Sam McLoughlin

Feminism with John Stackhouse

What would you say to someone who views feminism as the typical caricature … you know, of… John Stackhouse: An angry lesbian woman who hates men? Well that’s what keeps most of my students from identifying themselves as feminists. Feminism should mean, simply, advocacy on behalf of women because they are being mistreated because they […]

Homosexuality and Religious Belief

June 4, 2013 by Paul Arnold

Homosexuality and Religious belief

A former professor of mine once said that if you can’t say everything you want to say about homosexuality, don’t say anything at all. The implication being that if you can’t state your position in full, parts of your position will be taken out of context or misinterpreted entirely. For the most part I have […]

Does the Bible matter?

June 3, 2013 by Leighton Knapp

Does the Bible matter?

 The impossibility of reaching a consensus decision on what the Bible actually is relates to the fact that there is bound to be some level of agreement amongst all parties involved in the discussion.  The controversy arises over what inevitably cannot be affirmed.  This is different than, say, reaching a consensus over the nature of […]
