For those of you that felt like 6 episodes wasn't quite enough, this one is for you. Roberta Ahmanson is a brilliant expert on all things Church History. For context, she logged in for this remote interview with John Mark from a library of 20,000 books, all of which she's read ... Based on the premise that there is much to learn from the Church's history, John Mark and Roberta rewind to the culture of 5th century Rome to discuss the parallels between that moment and our own, and how Christians functioned in the midst of it.

Jon Tyson on the World as a Formation Machine, the Temptation of Project Self & the Importance of Family

Dr. Nancy Pearcey has been described as "America's preeminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual.” John Mark describes her book Love Thy Body as “hands down the best work [he’s] read on the worldview behind the sexual revolution.” In this conversation, the two of them discuss Personhood Theory, and how this kind of thinking has a bearing on gender, abortion, sex, human rights & more. This is a weighty conversation, but an important one. We hope it serves you as you navigate following Jesus in this complex moment.

Dr. Nancy Pearcey on Loving Your Body, Human Rights and Secularism’s Low View of Sexuality & Gender

For those of you looking to find a way to follow Jesus that feels more accessible to you as a sometimes distracted, absent-minded human being - this conversation is for you.
