Maybe you've listened to a sermon and it seemed like the pastor was speaking another language. Or perhaps you've thought that the notes in your study Bible could use a commentary of their own. From imputation to justification, theophany to theodicy, keeping all these concepts straight can be a challenge for any believer. This is a short podcast about long words. Every week, Barry Cooper sheds light on a different biblical or theological term, using helpful illustrations to apply it to your life. Listen to this week's episode to expand your understanding and deepen your faith, one word at a time.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-28T14:18:49.379502+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/simply-put-743677"},"episode":{"title":"Quietism and Activism","slug":"quietism-and-activism","published_at":"2026-03-31T05:01:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/simply-put-743677/quietism-and-activism","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/simply-put-743677","url":"https://ligonier.org/podcasts/simply-put/quietism-and-activism","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/simplyput/simplyput20260331.mp3?dest-id=1164902","summary":"How do we grow as Christians?
