[LFDG ARCHIVE] Orthodox Diversity and Why Fidelity to Jesus Means Embodying Diverse Expressions of the Faith!

Better late than never! This week we dive into the beauty that is the diversity of the proto-orthodox church and my assertion that any claims of “orthodoxy” that are not situated in an active desire for the flourishing of dynamic and diverse expressions of the faith betray the beauty of the earliest Christian communities. In this episode we journey with the second century heretics Marcion and Tatian to discover why fidelity to Jesus means that we modern Christians should be willing to recognize diverse expressions of what it means to follow Jesus.

[LFDG ARCHIVE] God Can't (With Guest Dr. Thomas J. Oord)

The second episode of 2019 is here! This week I am joined by our first returning guest Dr. Thomas J. Oord to talk about his forthcoming book "God Can't." In this book Thomas has ambitiously proposed a solution to the greatest theological/philosophical question to in human existence... If God is good then, why does evil exist in the world?It was such a joy to have Tom back on the show and I can not recommend his latest book enough. In this episode we push back against the traditional metaphysics of God's omnipotence. We talk about a better way to understand how God is "Almighty," the continued work of God beyond the grave, and how God heals via the cooperation of all of creation. God Can't will be available in all formats by the end of the month but will be ready for purchase on Amazon on the January 10th!You can connect with Tom and get his new book here:GodCant.comthomasjayoord.comTom's Facebook and TwitterSubscribe to Signposts!
