The School of Unlearning podcast returns for season five with a major award and worldwide reach.

The episode opens with hosts Paul Berthiaume and Joshua Skoyan announcing the return of the School of Unlearning podcast for its fifth season after a summer break. They mention winning an award as a top Lenten podcast and having listeners worldwide. The conversation shifts to Jacob's Well Church entering its 25th year, with plans for new classes like 'Embodied' on theology of the body and series on Ephesians and Proverbs. Paul emphasizes that lives are being changed through teaching, youth groups, and online engagement. The main focus is on a new sermon series about repentance, redefining it from the Hebrew 'shuv' and Greek 'metanoia' as changing one's mind rather than feeling shame. Paul explains repentance as a skill and lifestyle of letting God challenge one's narratives and opinions. He introduces the Minor Prophets series, starting with Amos, and advises listeners to use resources like Bible Project videos and study Bibles to understand authorial intent and historical context. Paul details the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel, prophets like Jonah and Amos, and the concept of the Day of the Lord as God showing up in judgment and restoration throughout history. He discusses prophetic principles and fulfillments, connecting them to Christ and modern applications, such as Martin Luther King quoting Amos for justice. The episode ends with a prayer for humility and anticipation of God's work in the coming year, followed by production credits.
