Most Christians accept that there is a spiritual world that is out there. But is there more than just angels and demons? How do they interact, if at all with out current existence? These any many more questions can find a Biblical framework in what is known as the Divine Council Worldview that takes many of the "weird" and often skipped over parts of the Old and New Testaments to help the modern Christian reconstruct the spiritual worldview that the authors and audiences of Scripture would have had.

How are we supposed to talk to God? Does He want us asking questions or even pushing back? J. Richard Middleton tackles this important question with his new book, Abraham’s Silence: The Binding of Isaac, the Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God. Maybe how many of us look at our relationship with God is more one-way than it should be. And to really get to know God means asking questions.

Welcome to this inaugural episode of Christian²!

Our guest is Josef Sykora. Josef earned degrees include a Ph.D. from Durham University in the United Kingdom; M.A. in biblical studies and M.A. in theological studies from Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky; and a Master in Law from Masaryk University in Brno, the Czech Republic. Dr. Sykora’s doctoral research focused on the topic of election in the Bible. In particular, he was trying to see what the Old Testament says about God’s favor for certain individuals and groups, and what this means for those who are unfavored. Dr. Sykora has served in senior and assistant pastoral roles in Bratislava, Slovakia, and as a missionary responsible for theological training. (from nes.edu)

In this conversation Josef shares with us his heart and passion in theological study that we hope enriches your understanding.
