How do we experience God in the midst of our widespread unease? In this episode, Stuart McAllister observes that the temptation is to have an abstract relationship with God, to regard Him mainly in philosophical rather than relational terms. Yet cultivating a vibrant spiritual life in the midst of serious strife is one of the most vital and practical pursuits. 
Join Dr. Kenneth Boa and Suart as they explore this issue together.

Once an essential moral category, sin is now regarded as an archaic concept. If we encounter the word at all these days, it’s likely in a trivial sense. A decadent desert might be described as “sinful,” for instance, but most of us would balk at the notion of characterizing someone’s behavior as sinful. And yet some of our most incisive thinkers (Christian and non-Christian alike) agree that this is an indispensable category for understanding humanity. 

In this episode, Dr. Kenneth Boa and Stuart McAllister explore how we might recover a deeper understanding of sin and its place in human life.
