Podcast 194: Simplifying Faith

/in /by

Faith is often misunderstood, and, to be sure, is a concept rich with meaning. It helps to break it down into simpler ideas that, while having their own profound depths, are perhaps easier to grasp—and to understand how to grow in. Join us today as we discuss a simple take on faith and what it means to have it (or not).

We refer to two resources today—here are links, as well as an excellent bonus resource we forgot about at the time:

P.S. Apparently, there was a repeating clip of the closing music left in the file 10 or 11 minutes after the podcast finishes. Consequently, the files look longer than they are and play for an extra 10 minutes of silence. The YouTube version has been edited and is resetting now, and the file that uploads to Apple and Spotify should be corrected soon, as well. Our apologies! Feel free to click to someting else after the 58 minutes and 42 seconds are over. Or, if you need 10 minutes of silence, well, feel free to play that, too. Might even be good for you!

Podcast 193: Jane Austen & Biblical Thinking

/in /by

Every book, movie, or miniseries we consume presents an opportunity to practice biblical thinking. So do our conversations later with others about it. So, we practice that today, ourselves, by looking at some of Jane Austen’s works—favorites of some of our listeners—and discuss biblical principles they might prompt us to consider.

The earlier podcast referred to near the beginning, by the way, is right here: “Podcast 115: You Become Your Entertainment.”
