James K.A. Smith discusses his new book, "How to Inhabit Time: Understanding the Past, Facing the Future, Living Faithfully Now," which released September 20, 2022, from Brazos Press.

We discuss:

1. the role of history in helping us learn discernment and live faithfully
2. the ways that many Christians think they are living out ancient truths that are actually modern inventions
3. how many Christians who "deconstruct" and end up leaving the faith are actually "rejecting the minority report" of the faith
4. how Christian nationalism has "forgotten something very, very fundamental about what the Christian expectation of kingdom come looks like, which is precisely that it is not something that is engineered by us."
5. how gardening helps us embrace our temporality and "experience God seasonally"
