Rocky Supinger concludes the series on G. K. Chesterton’s Heretics and Orthodoxy by discussing how Chesterton argued that some ideal must motivate political engagement.

We reflect on how Chesterton proposed “reform” as an alternative to the ideals of “evolution” or “progress” that were popular during his time.

Rocky Supinger continues the series on G.K. Chesterton’s Heretics and Orthodoxy by discussing the central experience of faith, which is the central experience of life — mystery and familiarity — at the same time. We reflect on how life within this faith is “eternal” life. It goes on like this forever, not because of us, but also never without us.

Rocky Supinger continues the series on G.K. Chesterton’s Heretics and Orthodoxy by discussing the relationship of place to our faith. We reflect on how our love of places is an expression of our love for the people with whom we share those places. Our love for the place we live is, ultimately, an expression of our love of God.

This podcast is the first of four in a series on the works that have had the greatest impact on Senior Associate Pastor Rocky Supinger’s faith — Heretics and Orthodoxy by British novelist and essayist Gilbert Keith Chesterton.

This evening we reflect on how Chesterton’s writings were about the kind of outlook on life that faith should give us — a life of purpose. The Lord didn’t really give the disciples a detailed process for doing that or insist on a metric of efficiency. Rather, he gave us an aim to pursue, a wild, seemingly unattainable aim. The strength of our faith will be measured, then, in our commitment to that aim — not in spite of the aim’s grandiosity, but because of it.
