  Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; they're a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanity's purpose, but we’re no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective. 
   
  In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of "You are what you do" and "Do what you love." Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs. 
  Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesn't align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesn't feel deeply fulfilling. 
   
  In Worth Doing, listeners will gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling; learn how to embrace human limitations as part of God's good design; and reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing.

  Urban Legends of the Old Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the Old Testament. These “urban legends” often arise because interpreters neglect a passage’s context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the original language of the text.  With a pastoral tone and helpful explanations of where the error originally occurred, authors David A. Croteau and Gary E. Yates tackle legendary biblical misinterpretations of topics like the origin of evil or the purpose of Mosaic food laws, as well as common misconceptions about dinosaurs, or NASA discovering Joshua’s long day. Urban Legends of the Old Testament will help readers avoid missteps in the interpretation of key biblical texts while modeling interpretative techniques that can also be applied to other Old Testament passages.

  When the small scrap of parchment is handed to Nicodemus, it only contains the one word, Tetelestai. But that word sends him on a flight for his life with his faithful Greek servant Trecho. On a wager, the pagan Greek allows Nicodemus to read the scroll of Leviticus to him while they travel, and explain how this Messiah Jesus could possibly be in every part of it, when the scroll was written thousands of years earlier. At every step they are hounded by the rabid Pharisee Saul of Tarsus, who has a personal vendetta against the aged rabbi, and is headed to Damascus himself with papers that will place all of the believers there in jail.

  People today encounter a dizzying array of religious options. We might consider mystical faiths like Buddhism and Hinduism, historical religions like Islam and Mormonism, or more nebulous modern expressions of being spiritual but not religious or religious but not spiritual. How do we know what is true? Is one faith just as good as another? 
   
   
   
  Trial lawyer Mark Lanier presents the claims made by the world's great religions, discusses their histories, and cross-examines their witnesses (their scriptures and traditions) to determine whether their claims are worthy of belief. With his keen legal mind and methodical style, he provides a careful comparative study, highlighting key truths he finds in each religion even as he offers critiques. Treating each perspective on its own terms and weighing the worldviews for consistency and livability, Lanier assesses evidence for and against belief systems with criteria for what constitutes sufficient proof. 
   
   
   
  Believers and unbelievers alike will find here perceptive insights into how we can make sense of competing religious claims and what difference it makes for our own lives.
