A Charismatic, a Calvinist, and a Catholic Walk Into a Bar

Do cringe back at your shallow "feelings-oriented" charismatic days? Or do you roll your eyes at the arrogant rigidity of your doctrinal upbringing? Or perhaps you shake your head at your former ignorance of church history and tradition? Or maybe your faith has finally come alive after years stuck in a dusty and dead high church? Whatever your situation it seems as though Christians follow a familiar path when it comes to shifts in theology and practice. Bryan and Paul discuss these familiar patterns by engaging with an article by Dr. Scott Redd titled, "Three Modes of Christian Formation: Experience, Doctrine, and Liturgy." Also Paul says some awkward things.

Designer Children and the End of Humanity (Abolition of Man Series)

If you could determine the height, attractiveness, and IQ of your child before he or she was born would you do it? C.S. Lewis's final lecture in Abolition of Man raises uncomfortable points about how we have twisted what it means to be human through technology. Also, Paul reveals some embarrassing personal information.

Getting Down with the Tao (Abolition of Man Series)

We continue our series on C.S. Lewis's classic The Abolition of Man by looking at the problem with being skeptical of traditional values. No we're not talking 1950's middle-class America. We're talking about the foundational ideas that have shaped every culture in human history. The key to our future may not be in always looking forward, but looking back.
