ep55 - Finding Strength in Weakness with John Hindley

In this episode of Christian Book Blurb, host Matt McChlery interviews author John Hindley about his book 'Weakness Our Strength: Learning from Christ Crucified.' The conversation explores the misconceptions surrounding strength and weakness, the role of weakness in creation, and the importance of embracing weakness instead of running away from it. Hindley emphasizes that strength is found in dependence on God and each other, and highlights the significance of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection in understanding weakness and strength. We also chat about John's love of science fiction books, doing DIY projects and his predictable restaurant ordering habits. Listen now.
