Charitable disagreement between two thoughtful Christians.
Co-hosted by myself and John Raines.
More Christians than ever are growing suspicious of the faith with which they were brought up; they are deeply questioning everything they once held as true. Moreover, those who are more or less free from doubt nevertheless find themselves living in a world of ever-increasing theological complexity and obscurity. And with good reason, for on one side, countless churches and leaders have fallen into oblivion and left people destitute, and on the other side, secular thought and challenges have seemingly torn holes in the supposedly unified fabric of ordinary Christian faith. As a result, Christians have radically deconstructed their faith, wrestling with questions and convictions with fresh perspectives, but sometimes without a plan for putting the broken pieces back together. We can relate. We have and are deconstructing our faith, we’ve had our foundations shaken to the core, we know that theology isn’t simple and that a faithful life isn’t easy. But God hasn’t abandoned us. We still seek to know him, and more, he still seeks to know us. We want to share our theological and philosophical perspectives to help others find clarity in the midst of complexity, to find unity in the midst of disagreement, to find an emerging edifice in the midst of rubble.
