Our bodies become what we put in them, with nutrition and exercise we get health; with junk food we get flabby. What about our hearts? Our hearts do not eat things like our body and mouths do. Rather, our hearts love and by our loving, we become (eventually) the object of our loves. We live only by loving and God does not encourage less but MORE love, rightly ordered. Join us as we discuss this lovely topic on this podcast.

Death and taxes. These are certain. What comes after taxes is less money in our pocket. What comes after death is, for Christians, often thought to include floating clouds, spirits, and cherubim. This is not the life that Jesus and the New Testament promise. In this podcast, and with the help of N. T. Wright, we consider how the bodily resurrection and bodily existence is central to the life to come. 

Most people, whether Christian or not, have enough sense to know that we should not exploit one another. Instead, we should treat one another with respect and morality. Christians often think that "being moral" is all that God calls Christians to in their personal life and the workplace. This is wrong. God calls Christians to much more, and it is such a relief (for everyone) that he does. Join us as we discuss this and how it applies in our context. 

Most of us do not consider ourselves "artists" and under one definition of artists, most of us are not. Yet, everyone makes things. Christian believe that humans are made in God's image and that all humans are makers. Fujimura uses this imagery and his expertise as an artist to present a life vision characterized by beautiful making--even for those who are not artists. Join us as we dive into this wonderful topic.

Join us as we dive into a discussion about sovereignty and the works of Abraham Kuyper — who's intelect inspired much of the work we do at TrueWorks. Discover that when we love God and order our loves well, the byproduct is an immense freedom, shorn of restrictions. 

Jesus changed the entire world and he asks his followers to do nothing less. But what does this mean and how are Christians supposed to go about doing it? Some think that "love is all we need"--as long as Christians love people, cultural change will follow suit. Others disagree and think that Christian need to be strategic in influencing cultural institutions. What do you think? Join us as we discuss this topic! 

How are Christians to accomplish good objectives in the market place and the public square? God works through various means and Christians must find common ground to achieve goals with those who do not share their worldview. In this episode, we talk about the pitfalls and benefits of this approach and how we we think Christians can prayerfully and cautiously pursue goals with others.

Why do we work? Most of us work but rarely do we reflect on why we work. Upon some reflection, we see that work is necessary to make a living. Of course this is true, but does the answer stop there? As the second world war came to an end, new vocational and economic possibilities showed themselves. Dorothy Sayers provides a Christian answer to why we work and argues that work, and working well, is in our nature and forms part of a well-lived life. Join us as we discuss Sayers and apply to our current context.  

God is at work in all things that are good in the world, whether those things are explicitly Christian or not. This work is by God's grace, his common grace. This theme influences how we live, the recreation and the work we pursue, even what we think is worth pursuing. Join us as we discuss this and other related topics!

Love is perhaps the most profound of all human experiences. From romantic love to friendship, from our loved hobbies and activities. Love takes several different forms. Does the form change when we turn to God's love or the love that God expects of his followers? In this podcast, we look at two authors who describe God's love as, paradoxically, conditional and the greatest virtue. Join us as we discuss this and other related topics! You'll love it.
