Cooper & Cary Have Words

Cooper and Cary have words about how we try to avoid sanctification and do Christian things in order to avoid it or achieve it - and whether Cooper has been wasting his life aiding and abetting evangelism.

The book referred to is:
Dynamics of Spiritual Life: An Evangelical Theology of Renewal by Richard Lovelace

Barry guests on his pastor’s podcast to talk about the chapter of Lovelace’s book called  “The Sanctification Gap“.

Cooper and Cary have words with Ben Clube about artificial intelligence, the gulf between humans and machines, and how technology changes us. He's thought a lot about tech, and not just as a way of justifying spending months playing Doom, Quake or Final Fantasy VI. Also, Cary mentions That Hideous Strength. Again.

James and Barry talk about the Ascension, and then delve into the mailbag. Among other things, they wrestle manfully with the worms uncanned by Barry's views on singleness, whether musical comedy is funny enough, whether Christians should create entertainment, whether Arminians are almost Open Theists, and whether God ever changes his mind about things.

James and Barry have words about leaving a local church. What are good and bad reasons to leave, and what are good and bad reasons to stay? Along the way, there's discussion about weird people in your congregation, driving past good churches, and yet another disparaging reference to reggae.
