Wes and co-host Marcus Stenson sit down with Marty Solomon, host of the BEMA Discipleship Podcast, campus minister, and author, to explore his newly released book, The Gospel of Being Human (co-authored with Reed Dent). The conversation digs into one of the most transformative questions in theology: What if the gospel story actually begins in Genesis 1 (with humanity’s creation), not Genesis 3 (with our fall)? Marty challenges the assumption that being human is fundamentally bad news. When we recapture the biblical vision of humanity as image-bearers, it changes how we see ourselves, treat our enemies, and participate in God’s redemptive work in the world. If you’ve ever felt like Christianity teaches you to hate yourself before you can be saved, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air.

In this episode, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson dig into one of Scripture's most powerful psalms about finding refuge in God when the world feels like it's shaking apart. They explore the historical context of siege warfare, what it meant for ancient Israel to declare "God is our refuge," and why that confession is even more radical today. They also unpack the famous phrase "Be still and know that I am God" — and why it may not mean what most of us think. If you're struggling with fear and anxiety in uncertain times, this conversation is a reminder that God is your fortress, evil cannot win, and the best thing you can do is be still and remember who God is.

Chip brings a unique blend of NFL chaplaincy, college coaching, and decades of disciple-making to challenge our culture's distorted scoreboard of success. Together, they unpack how identity rooted in Christ —not performance, religion, or titles — unlocks the life God designed you to live. Chip walks through his SKILLS framework: six practices modeled on Jesus' own life that help believers hear God's voice, invest in others, and share their faith naturally and authentically.

Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson dig into this popular claim making the rounds on social media and YouTube — and carefully examine what pharmakeia actually means in its original context. They explain why a word’s etymology doesn’t determine its modern meaning, what sorcery truly looked like in the ancient world, and why this passage has nothing to do with your local pharmacy. Along the way, they tackle how to read the book of Revelation responsibly, why psychedelic drug use is a legitimate modern application of the warning, and how Christians can wisely navigate questions about medicine, mental health treatment, and reliance on God. If you’ve seen these videos online and wondered whether to take them seriously, this episode will help you think clearly, biblically, and without unnecessary fear or guilt.

In this episode, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson tackle one of the most countercultural teachings of the New Testament: biblical contentment. Drawing from Hebrews 13:5, 1 Timothy 6:6–8, Philippians 4:11–13, and Matthew 13:22, they expose how Western consumerism and “hustle culture” quietly shape our identity and fuel anxiety, comparison, and spiritual emptiness. Marcus shares a powerful personal story from his trips to Kenya that radically reframed his understanding of work, worth, and worship. Wes and Marcus also unpack the critical difference between contentment and complacency — and offer practical steps, including praying the Lord’s Prayer as a daily reset, to help you stop chasing the world and start resting in what God has already given you.

We love quoting Matthew 11:28-30, but what did Jesus actually mean? In this episode, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson dig into the explosive context most people skip — Jesus's sharp rebuke of hard-hearted religious cities and the crushing yoke the Pharisees placed on everyday people. They explore how "yoke" referred to the Torah and how Jesus's invitation was a radical claim to deity, echoing Exodus 33, Numbers 12, and Jeremiah 6. They also unpack why Jesus's yoke is "easy" even though the way is hard, how burnout stems from serving the wrong masters, and why the gospel transforms duty into choice.

In this episode, Wes and Marcus dive into Romans 12:12 to explore the crucial difference between patience and passivity when we face the brokenness of the world. They discuss why social media and algorithm-driven news leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless, and how virtue signaling can become a substitute for genuine prayer and action.

You'll discover why biblical patience requires agency—not abdication—and how earnest, faithful prayer actually changes things on the ground. Marcus also shares a powerful four-question framework for grounding yourself when life feels out of control. If you've ever wondered whether your prayers really matter, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

In this episode, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson reexamine one of the most misunderstood phrases in the New Testament. Drawing on the Greco-Roman patronage system—where wealthy benefactors offered "gifts" in exchange for loyalty and allegiance—they argue that James is confronting something far deeper than a moral checklist. He's warning an oppressed church community against selling their allegiance to rich and powerful patrons instead of trusting Jesus as their sole protector and provider. From Old Testament parallels with Israel's political alliances to modern applications in the workplace, online tribalism, and partisan politics, this conversation will challenge you to ask: Can my loyalty be bought?

In this episode of the Radically Christian Podcast, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson explore the biblical concept of “the world” as a lens, framework, and normalized pattern of rebellion against God. Drawing from Romans 12, the Epistle to Diognetus, and the latest brain science research, they unpack how our thoughts physically reshape our brains—and why that matters for spiritual formation.

Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson tackle one of Scripture’s most terrifying passages: Matthew 7:21-23, where Jesus warns that some who prophesy and cast out demons in his name will still hear “depart from me.” This honest conversation explores the difference between religious performance and genuine discipleship, why self-righteousness is so dangerous, and what it means to truly know Christ. Discover why spiritual “imposter syndrome” might actually be a healthy sign, how the Sermon on the Mount reveals God’s heart, and why our confidence must rest in “I know a Guy” rather than “look what I did.” If you’ve ever feared you’re not good enough for God—or worried you might be too confident—this episode offers profound clarity and encouragement.

Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson explore Proverbs 22:7—”the borrower is slave to the lender”—to unpack the biblical wisdom around debt, lending, and financial stewardship. This episode examines how Proverbs offers general truths rather than absolute promises, distinguishing between wise financial decisions and sinful behavior. They discuss Old Testament laws against charging interest, the Year of Jubilee, and how consumer debt differs from predatory lending.

There are so many versions of this story. Some are funny, some are scary, some are set in 1800s London, some are set in a modern city like New York, some are animated, and some are live-action. There are, of course, certain elements they all have in common. However, what if we completely changed the story?

A Twist on A Christmas Carol

Imagine how surprising it would be if someone made a version of the story in which Ebenezer Scrooge’s business partner, Jacob Marley, died but did NOT come back to haunt Scrooge. The ghost of Jacob Marley is being tormented in chains because of his greed. Then, he asks for permission to go to earth and warn his old business partner about where the love of money, and neglect of the poor, will lead. However, Jacob Marley is denied permission to go back and warn Scrooge.

So, Marley proposes, “What if the spirits of Christmas past, present, and future go to earth and warn Scrooge about his greedy ways?” Again, this idea is shot down. Marley is told that Ebenezer already has all the information he needs to turn his life around. If he won’t listen to all the people preaching about generosity, kindness, fairness, and justice, he won’t listen to a bunch of ghosts. Abruptly, the story simply ends there.

This would be a very short, surprising, and somewhat depressing version of A Christmas Carol. Yet, this is almost exactly what Jesus did when he told the story we call, “The Rich Man and Lazarus” (Luke 16:19-31).

The Rich Man and Lazarus

Several biblical scholars say that stories like the rich man and Lazarus were very familiar to the people in Jesus’ day. A rich man and a poor man both die, but their lots in the afterlife are reversed from what they were on earth. The poor man is in paradise and the rich man is in torment. The rich man is allowed to go and warn the living to repent of their greedy ways before it is too late. These are the common elements to all the versions of the story.

However, Jesus subverted his audience’s expectations by saying Father Abraham denied the living the opportunity to be warned by the dead. I imagine the people listening to Jesus’ story thought, “Wait! That’s not how the story is supposed to go! You’re telling it wrong.”

But the twist in Jesus’ version is where the point lies. Jesus ended his story by having Abraham say, “If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead” (Luke 16:31).

Of course, this was a strong word of condemnation against the Pharisees, “who were lovers of money” (Luke 16:14). The Pharisees were the Scrooge of Jesus’ day. He was making the point that if they won’t listen to Scripture telling them to love kindness, do justice, and show mercy, then a scary story about torment in the afterlife won’t convince them. Of course, his words also foreshadowed his own resurrection and the unwillingness of his generation to believe and repent.

Don’t Be a Scrooge

By putting a twist on a familiar story like this, Jesus is really driving home his point. I believe he is saying no one should be so hardhearted that they have to be scared into generosity. People had already been told what to do with their money, they had already been warned by Moses and the prophets, but they still were not convinced. So, instead, they had to make up stories about the tortured dead coming back to scare people into submission.

I’m afraid many of us have done that with the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Rather than accepting the clear admonition to be generous to the poor because God has told us to be, we have turned it into a story to scare one another into submission. Or, even worse, we have completely overlooked the message about generosity and have made it a theological treatise on the afterlife.

Are we moved to generosity? What moves us? The command of God? Seeing our neighbors—the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, and the poor—in need? Or a ghost story we have heard a million times? Jesus told the Pharisees, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts” (Luke 16:15). Let’s not be like them. Let’s have a tender heart that is easily moved to generosity.

I love you and God loves you,

Wes McAdams

In this candid episode, Wes McAdams challenges the idea that celebrating Jesus’ birth violates biblical principles. Drawing from Romans 14-15 and Colossians 3:17, he unpacks why compartmentalizing life into “religious” and “secular” categories misses the point.

Wes encourages believers to see Christmas as an opportunity to welcome those weak in faith—people curious about the manger, hungry for hope, and longing for peace. Rather than pushing seekers away with debates, he invites Christians to make everything about Jesus and use this season to strengthen faith, not squash it.

The conversation explores how disciple-making can move beyond programs into a reproducible, Spirit-led way of life modeled after Jesus. Williamson explains that a disciple is someone “following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to the mission of Jesus,” and that the goal of his ministry is to help ordinary believers live that out in community.

Williamson describes how he trains students at Harding to form “disciple-making groups”—small, four-person communities patterned after Jesus’ relationships with Peter, James, and John. These groups meet for about a year to a year and a half, following a rhythm of studying Scripture, eating, serving, resting, and praying together.

Dr. Carl Williamson is first and foremost a follower of Jesus. He has spent his life sharing the gospel with non-believers and training disciple makers in central New Jersey. He has been instrumental in establishing 2 new churches and working with 2 different church planting teams. He received a Doctorate of Ministry degree from Harding School of Theology in 2018. He is the Distinguished Andy T. Ritchie Chair for discipleship and church planting at Harding University.
