Discerning Wisdom from Knowledge: A Conversation on Syncretism with Jay Y Kim


Listen Later

Do you ever feel distracted during your walk in faith? The noisy world will present you with endless options, even if some options lack substance. This week’s conversation continues with Jay Y Kim about how modern syncretism can show up while trying to focus on your relationship with God.

Jay Y Kim is a pastor of a church in Silicon Valley called WestGate Church. We discuss ways to stay closer to God without making your walk in faith a performance. We also cover points about recognizing syncretism, listening to God in a noisy world, and discerning between knowledge and wisdom.
