What if baptism didn’t begin in the New Testament? What if the waters of creation, the flood, the Red Sea, the Jordan River, and more have been telling a deeper story all along?

In this episode, we take a posture of discovery, tracing the theme of water throughout the Old Testament to discover how the Old Testament shapes our understanding of baptism today. Rather than ending with a concrete definition, we’ll reflect on key moments where water appears in Scripture, allowing them to reveal what we know today as baptism.

From chaos to cleansing, from judgment to new creation, we’ll explore how God has been using water as a symbol of transformation since the beginning. Whether you're new to the Bible or a seasoned theologian, join us as we dive into the story.

When various churches focus on the infant (infant baptism, baby dedication, and so on), why does Providence instead focus on commissioning the parents? This episode seeks to explain Parent Commissioning at Providence—what it is, who it’s for, why we do it, and how it impacts the church.

When we think of justice, we often think of fairness, punishment, or legal systems, but what does God’s justice actually look like? And why is it good news, not just for the world, but for each of us personally?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into a biblical look at God’s justice. We explore how God's justice through Christ is beautiful, a blessing to us, and a reminder of how we should treat others.

We also briefly address the tension that can arise when someone who has caused harm to us comes to Christ. How do we trust in God’s justice when the person who hurt us is forgiven by Christ? What does it mean that Jesus paid for their sin, too?

Join us for a conversation that re-centers our view of justice as we see it in scripture.
