For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

×Our lives are but dots on the timeline of eternity. And yet, we become experts at living for the dot, not the line. In First Corinthians 15, Paul lifts our eyes from the dot to the eternal line that Jesus’s resurrection brings to us.
Though 1 Corinthians chapter 13 is often quoted at weddings, Paul is not writing with sentimental intentions, he is confronting a crisis. The church is full of spiritual gifts but is lacking in spiritual fruit, namely the fruit of love. Paul helps us...
The Bible’s portrayal of Christ and his Church as the Lamb and his Bride helps us to understand the depth of the love of God for us and heightens our excitement about what life will be like in eternity.
Most Christians have heard that the church is the body of Christ, but for many reasons churches struggle to be the body of Christ. The church in Corinth provides a backdrop for Paul’s teaching on Christ being the head of his body, the church.
God the Father loves giving gifts to his children, so much so that he has given every one of them at least one of the many various spiritual gifts. But spiritual gifts are meant for building up the body of Christ, not for tearing it apart, as it was...
The Lord gave the church his fellowship meal, the Lord’s Supper. Jesus gave the Super for a reason. For through the Lord’s Supper we experience God’s mercy and love and the power of the gospel as we feed on Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit.
God has created mankind male and female. Equal in glory, but each given differing roles. This can be a hard truth to affirm, but when we look to the Trinity, it all becomes clearer. Here Paul teaches us the God is glorified in our worship when we...
Christ died to set us free. And as Christians, we’ve been set free indeed. The problem arises though when we use our freedom for our own selfish gain. Paul shows us that our liberty in Christ must be directed by love, so that in all things we glorify...
Many believe idol worship is a thing of the past, but truly every life experiences the temptation to live for false gods of many kinds: wealth, security, career, beauty, health, etc. But Christ came to call us from our idols and to find our rest in him.
Christians share a calling to go into the world and be witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. And yet, it is a daunting task, and one Christians often shy away from. In our passage, Paul describes what it is to be a winning witness. And he helps us...
We are born with a nature that operates as if the world revolves around us. We live in a culture fixated upon entitlements. We fight for our rights, even at the expense of others. But the gospel frees us to let go of our rights so that we may live...
Christians should be amazed, scared even, at how much freedom they have in Christ. But we must weigh the exercising of our rights with love for our brothers and sisters. Our freedom in Christ must be anchored in love
Paul declares there is a betterness to singleness. Singleness is not a waiting room for life to really begin once married. Nor is it a time to shirk responsibilities and live selfishly. Rather, singleness is a good gift from God.
We live in a culture of dissatisfaction that constantly tells us “You’re not enough, you need something more.” Even our own hearts whisper this. And so we find ourselves discontent in our present circumstances. But Paul has a word for us that leads to...
Marriage holds a paradox in modern culture. On the one hand it is viewed with cynicism, and on the other hand, it is romanticized. Into this confusion, Paul presents a biblical view of marriage, rooted in God’s design.
Paul addresses an issue in Corinth where members of Christ’s body were divided over earthly leaders. There were divisions and quarrelling instead of unity in Christ Jesus. But Christ alone is to be our highest good, for he alone is able to care the...
Jesus has called the church to be disciples who make disciples, for discipleship is how we grow in Christlikeness and manifest his glory and his kingdom on earth! And since discipleship is Jesus’s top priority for his church, discipleship is the top...
Christians are not Pharisees. But Christians often live with Pharisaical tendencies. That is, we can live as if we are saved by grace but need to live by works to maintain our acceptance before God. In this parable, Jesus helps his people to rest in...
What we see in all this is that Jesus is more than we ever imagined he could be.
The God of the Old Testament often gets characterized as a judgmental, overbearing, unreasonable God, but a closer examination of the events shows that He is the God of unwavering promise and commitment to His people and promises. It is because of His...
Our natural sinful impulses cover us like grimy, decrepit clothing. When we cast off our old self and put on the new self, our new clothing of humility and love will transform every personal relationship in the joy of the Lord. But changing clothes...
One of the Bible's most beautiful depictions is God's covenant loving-kindness. We see this in the Old Testament through His gracious dealings with His people, and it is ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who invites us to experience the...
The Christian life is marked by perseverance because as we all know life is full of opposition, challenge and unforeseen circumstances. The Lord offers real strength for our journey that we can call and rely upon daily. This passage teaches us how...
Isaiah ends his book on the topic of worship. You don’t need to be religious to worship, for everyone worships. Intrinsically, all people worship something or someone. And since we become like what we worship, for our health or for our harm, God cares...
Part of the human condition, though we fight to resist it, is that we are hopeless unless God intervenes in our lives. We don’t just need a little bit of good luck; we need a massive intervention from God. In this section of Isaiah, God shows just how...
Often, when we read Old Testament narratives, the temptation is to imagine that we are too far removed from the characters to relate to them. However, wisdom dictates that we are not so different after all. In fact, by reflecting on their history, we...
While a just God must judge all evil in the world, His judgments stem from an unfathomable love for His people, aimed at restoring us from the sins we fail to recognize.
In our lucid moments as Christians, we admit that there is a wide chasm between the abiding life Christ calls us to live and how we tend to live. We say we want God in our lives, but we don’t want too much of God in our lives. Isaiah prays that the...
We spend a lot of time focused on the external; we build resumes, exercise, eat well, try to dress well, and on and on. Christ comes to us today focused on one thing: our hearts.
Many people reject God being angry. “God is love,” they insist. Isaiah shows us that yes, God is love, but he is more than just that. In fact, because God loves so well, he must and will judge this world.
People are born with a deep-seated longing for happiness, but apart from the Lord, happiness is elusive and unsatisfying. Psalm 1 redirects us to where happiness is found – in God and in delighting and meditating upon his word.
In an instant, the ordinary lives of the shepherds were infused with the extraordinary news of great joy from the angels – God’s promises are now being fulfilled in the infant Jesus.
The society we live in proclaims: “It’s your body, do whatever you wish with it.” And the Corinthian culture was just as hyper-sexed as ours, even more so. But the gospel changes everything for us, including how we view our bodies and use them to...
Holidays like Christmas are made special by the people we get to share them with. Unfortunately , these same people can also bring tension, conflict, and agitation. Agitation may be unavoidable, but Paul shows the Ephesians how we can respond beautifully.
At the end of his first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul gives three commands: rejoice, pray and give thanks. Why does God command us to pray? Because we need to be commanded, and he commands not to burden but to bless.
Christians can suffer from gospel amnesia, that is, we forget who we are in Christ. Paul confronts the Corinthians in how they have not lived out who they are already in Christ Jesus. And Paul helps them to recover their gospel identity.
Finally, in chapter 5, Paul lays into the church in Corinth with a heavy, but loving, hand. The church had been neglecting a most important mark of a church, church discipline. Paul calls the church out for their failings, but also calls them to a...
The church in Corinth will be stuck in immaturity unless they come to embrace Paul’s authority over their lives. So too us. Jesus has established authority in his church, but will we recognize our great need for godly authority or will we reject it.
The church in Corinth was wrongly elevating its leaders based upon worldly expectations and desires. So, Paul challenges them in order to get them to evaluate how they evaluate, so that they would develop a gospel way of judging things, especially...
Paul elevates our understanding of the church. The church is nothing less than the temple in which God dwells on earth and it is built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ. And Christ is building his church through his people!
We Christians are pretty good at noticing spiritual immaturity in others; we are slow to recognize it in ourselves. In this passage from 1 Corinthians, Paul shows his readers that spiritual maturity is a gracious work of God, therefore we must grow up...
An amazing biblical truth is that the very wisdom of God is given to God’s people by the Spirit of God. And that God freely gives his wisdom. But the Christians in Corinth had a maturity problem that caused them to not access the wisdom of God for...
As Augustine, Luther, and Calvin guarded and reformed the Church, we must watch over and be continually renovating our hearts and minds.
We often think we should handle small problems ourselves and let God take care of the big ones, or that God helps those who help themselves. Psalm 121 teaches us that our true help comes from the Lord, the Creator who sustains everything. This message...
God’s wisdom and God’s power appear foolish and weak to this fallen world. And yet, this simple, seemingly foolish message—that God’s son died on a cross for our sins—is God’s powerful wisdom that saves all who believe.
