September 11, 2020 13. The Biblical Worldview is Canceled. Plus, Don't be Conformed to this Age, The Christian Meta-Narrative, The Pride of Life, and Romans 1 with Peter Herbeck
Peter Herbeck is back to continue our conversation from episode 10! We start with 1 John 2:15 and discuss what it means to not be conformed to this world. Then we talk about the destruction of the Christian meta-narrative and how the biblical worldview has been canceled. Other Scriptures that inform the conversation are John 16, Galatians 6, Revelation 12:11, and Romans 1. We talk about the dangerous effects of preferring the darkness to light and the impact of a post-modern mindset. No timestamps again because we'd love for you to listen to the entire episode...in order.
Pete concludes with a short reflection on Ephesians 2.
