#10 Evangelical Gnosticism (S1E10)


Listen Later

In this episode, Christy explores the origins of Gnostic Christianity and the gnostic gospels. She ponders how the view that the spirit is good but the body is bad has affected our evangelical experience. Although most evangelical Christians would never say that they get their sin management ideas from the Gnostics, Christy questions whether this is the case after all.

Why are we so obsessed with control? Why do some people stifle their emotions and desires instead of leaning into and exploring them? Is there a better way to live? Can we find a balance of grace and truth and live a holistic life?
