Faced with our challenge of remaining faithful within and addressing our various contemporary societal crises with wisdom, Christians and churches are fracturing over our differing approaches and postures. My friend Ben Miller suggested that we have a series of conversations, to help us to pursue greater clarity on the principles, virtues, duties, and practices that can equip Christians to meet such difficult times with prudence, insight, and courage.

Interview with Joseph Minich on Pilgrim Faith Podcast

~ Alastair Roberts ~ 2 Comments

A new thing that I am really excited about for 2020 is the Pilgrim Faith podcast. Hosted by Joseph Minich over on the Davenant Institute YouTube channel, it will be reflecting upon difficult questions for contemporary Christians, through in-depth conversations and explorations of a variety of issues.

Joseph Minich is a good friend of mine, a thinker I admire, and someone with a peculiar gift for addressing issues of doubt and theological struggle. I heartily commend his podcast and hope that you join me in following it.

Joseph invited me on the podcast to discuss issues of gender and God’s two books. Watch our conversation here!
