In this episode, I want to ask a question that is going to be a little uncomfortable for any church people who are listening, “Were the new atheists right?”
Liberal or Conservative
As I’m looking at where our country is right now and where things might be going in the future, it occurs to me that many of the old distinctions that have divided us may not be so important going forward. The categories of liberal and conservative, I think, are two of those.
Beginning to Find the Right Path
The whole idea of a “right path through life” is enormous and complicated. Is there a right path? How would I know if and when I found it? What would a right path even look like anyway? These are really important questions, and they will take a lot of time to unpack. And, we’ll get to them.
But, how about instead of trying to get there in a single magnificent leap, what if we took one small step? What if we do enough to get us started in the right direction, and then we can take other steps after that? I think that might be a little easier for all of us.
The Latest Distraction
Before quarantine, many of us seemed to move from one temporarily fun thing to another. Now that our lives have been disrupted, we have a chance to remake them. What should they look like going forward?
Christianity Is Not a Sports Team
It seems like these days, everyone is pretty much cheering for their own side like they’re watching a sporting event. You know, our side is always best, the refs are always unfair, and no matter what happens, we’re going to cheer for our side. Christianity should not be that way.
Doing the Right Thing
Why do you do what you do? Do you do something because it’s right? Or, do you do something because that’s what the people around you are doing? That’s a really important question with the way things have been going lately.
First YouTube Live Video
I'm going to start doing weekly live videos in addition to my longer podcast topics. What I'm really hoping to accomplish is to be able to have something like a conversation with the people watching. So, please ask questions, make comments, and tell me when I'm wrong. This is the first live video, and I basically just tell you what I'm planning on doing.
Also, I know the audio is bad in this video. The test went better, so idk what happened. I'll try to get it right next time.
