On this episode I speak with Dr. Karen Prior about the state of Evangelicalism in America and how we can move forward faithfully without abandoning the ship. American evangelicals have much to consider and evaluate when it comes to a myriad of issues including, Christian Nationalism, radical individualism, the meaning and extent of the gospel in relation to issue of social justice and reform.

Clement of Alexander once said, "Theology is the queen of the sciences and philosophy is her handmaid." But, have you ever considered how theology and philosophy intersect in the Christian life? Can the church learn anything from the philosophers? Resident philosopher at Dallas Theological Seminary, Dr. Timothy Yoder, and I delve into the profound connections between theology and philosophy, uncovering the fascinating ways in which they inform and inspire one another. While some Church Fathers embraced the philosophical tradition with reverence and sought to harmonize it with Christian theology, others approached it with caution or skepticism. Yet, regardless of their perspectives, the dialogue between theology and philosophy has left an indelible mark on the development of Christian thought. Whether we recognize their influence or not, those thoughts are still prevalent in the 21st-century church. Join the Conversation!
