In this episode, Mon talks about one way we can read the Bible better: by identifying design patterns. As people in the modern day reading an ancient text, it helps to plug ourselves into mindset of the original authors and their intended audience.

#51 – Joy And Lament 28:19

28:19

Because of who Jesus is and what he has done, we can be assured that we have good reason to rejoice regardless of our circumstances. However, we do acknowledge that not every circumstance is pleasant. Pain and suffering are real. So how do we deal with that? How do we embody joy during times when we have to lament? This episode is a reflection on those questions. Ecclesiastes 3:1-14 – a time for everything Philippians 4:4 – rejoice Philippians 4:13 – "I can do all things..." Psalm 66 – Psalm of praise Luke 2 – Jesus' Nativity Job Habakkuk Lamentations Psalm 13 – questioning God John 11 – raising of Lazarus Matthew 26:36-46 – Garden of Gethsemane Psalm 22 – "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Arrogance and insecurity may seem like they're on opposite poles but they might not be as far from each other as we often think. The two might be different expressions, but they stem from the same root. In this episode, Mon talks about a previous Bible study session he gave, an insight one of his members shared, and how someone can be both humble and confident.

We like calling people out. But we don't like being called out, don't we? In this episode, Mon talks about the story of King David and the prophet Nathan. David has done wrong, and Nathan confronted him about it. As Christians, we must stand for what is true and just, but it matters how we do it. How might we do it then? What posture should we take?

#47 – Your Private Life Matters 18:21

We post a lot, don't we? We post about where we go, whom we're with, what we eat, and even what we think. Through the internet and social media, we can know a lot about others and others can know a lot about us. But knowing about someone is different from knowing someone. In this episode, Mon gives a simple reminder: Your private life matters. He frames his reflections around 3 questions that he invites us to ask: Where do you draw your values? How are your relationships? [And] are you able to pray well? These are important to ask because at the end of it, our private lives do affect our public lives. And it happens in one of two ways.

Have you ever been called privileged? Would you want to? It seems like more and more nowadays, people have been using the term "privileged" with a negative connotation. But is privilege itself a bad thing? Going further, is it a sin? In this episode, Mon addresses this question. In relation to this, he also shares his thoughts on the 2019 movie, Parasite.

Elections Day just happened in the Philippines and social media is full of... feelings. Some are "good" and some are "bad." In this episode, Mon talks about how we might view and respond to these emotions. He reads from the Bible, particularly the Psalms, to look at some examples of people being open and vulnerable to God with their thoughts and emotions. The hope is that this helps us navigate our way through what is happening today both in our country and within the state of our hearts. Psalm 3 – David is chased by Absalom Psalm 8 – What is man that you are mindful of him? Psalm 10 – Asking God a question / hunger for justice Psalm 139 – God search me / I cannon run from his presence Psalm 23 – Assurance and security Psalm 51 – Failure and forgiveness Psalm 46 – God’s protection Psalm 73 – “Is God really just?” Psalm 22 – Pain Psalm 96 – Sing to the Lord a new song Psalm 119 – God’s word / law Music by Kayel Marcelo Not So Secular Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/notsosecular/ Mon's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rizmonreyes Mon's Twitter https://www.twitter.com/rizmonreyes Book Mon as a speaker (talks, retreats, etc.) - https://forms.gle/7PyEB6svDnnD7mm69 Become a monthly or one-time giver via Ko-Fi / Paypal - https://ko-fi.com/notsosecular…

He then takes this opportunity to talk about some of the other elements of the Christian life that we ought to actively incorporate more daily alongside baptizing our children. These are evangelization (or evangelism), catechism (or teaching), and discipleship.

What comes to mind when you hear the word, "conservative"? Does it have something to do with what a person wears or how a person dates? Does it make you think of a particular stance on a political or social issue? In this episode, Mon is joined by Jay Aruga of The Jay Aruga Show. They talk about what conservatism is, the clash of propaganda and story in modern shows and movies, the traditional view of marriage, and the role faith plays in a person's political leaning.

#40 – Who Was Barabbas? Was He A Robber? 24:39

24:39

During the Holy Week, you might have seen a meme or two on social media mentioning how during the time of Jesus, the people chose Barabbas the thief over the Savior. This is then followed by a remark saying something along the lines of "2000 years later, we still choose the robbers." These memes are a bit old already but it might be popping up again since (1) it was Holy Week and (2) it's election season here in the Philippines. In this episode, Mon talks about Barabbas. What do we know about him? Was he really a thief? What does his story signify? Mon also points out a concern that he has with people sharing these kinds of posts. He exhorts that it is our politics that should serve our faith instead of the other way around.
