Just Thinking Podcast EP #106 "A Biblical Exposition of Unity"

Justin and Josh explain how theology is done and how it is done. Yes, there is a difference, and as Justin says, every aspect of theology is practical. We need to put our Scriptural spectacles on to be able to properly view the world around us. Justin also talks about the best way to build a skyscraper: digging down before you build up.

On this pilot episode of Torchlighters, co-hosts Justin and Josh discuss the big question: what is theology? Justin explores the importance of not only reading God’s Word but actually studying it and meditating on it (Philippians 4:8-9). Believe it or not, theology isn’t just the thickest textbook in the history of ever, written in some dead language. It’s actually fun and quite a bit tastier than dried out bread. They also discuss the idea of “encountering God” and how the modern-day emphasis on emotions intersects with theology. Experiencing the living God isn’t always as positive and feel-good as some Christians believe; often it can be sobering and difficult. After all, Moses was humbled by a talking plant in the desert.
