Episode 382: Persuasion & the Need for Christian Hope
We recently had the privilege of participating in a symposium at Restoration Presbyterian Church devoted to the topic of understanding our cultural moment. This week’s episodes will thus be a bit different: we’re going to release both of the talks we gave at the symposium, starting with Cameron’s. We pray that it’s helpful to you.
Episode 381: Dietrich Bonhoeffer the Culture Warrior?
There’s been a concerted effort in recent years not only to construe Bonhoeffer as a card-carrying evangelical (he wasn’t), but also as a right-wing culture warrior who would have voted for Donald Trump. Bonhoeffer’s family, along with a number of scholars, have vigorously protested this use of the man’s name and legacy. Join us as we explore the growing temptation to use respected Christian voices from the past as pawns in the culture war.
Episode 380: Thoughts On the Election
Join us as we discuss the election and explore some of its outworkings.
Episode 379: Idealism In a Non-Idealistic World
Christians recognize that we live in a fallen world. Nevertheless, when we survey the growing levels of despair among believers, it’s clear that many are suffering because of unrealistic expectations. Here, we do our best to balance hope with realism.
Episode 378: On The Changing Media Landscape
Non-traditional forms of media, whether podcasts, YouTube channels, or substack writers, are outpacing mainstream media. In this episode, we consider what this changing media landscape says about the state of our culture.
