In today’s podcast Dan interviews Rico Tice, an Anglican evangelist and perhaps best known for his book, Christianity Explored. Mr. Tice was born in Chile, raised in Uganda, and educated in England. He joined All Souls church in London, under the leadership of John Stott in 1994. Dan and Rico discuss why evangelism is so hard, the courage it takes to remain faithful to the gospel, and how reading scripture together with non-believers helps to create a pathway for conversation and conversion.

Mentorship is much like planting a seed and nurturing it’s growth, tending to it until it bears fruit. As Steven Garber says, mentorship is the act of bringing one into vocation over the course of their life. As part of the burden of mentorship there is a deeper recognition that all of life falls under the Lordship of Christ. Dan and Steven acknowledge their influences from Lesslie Newbigin to Michael Polyani to Abraham Kuyper, and along the way they discuss everything from marketing, to knowing, hiking, politics, and their aesthetic sensibilities. Join us as we conclude season 7 with this profound and stimulating conversation on faith and work.

Elliot Kellner was “gifted” a love of the outdoors by a childhood spent exploring his family’s Appalachian farm with siblings and cousins. Those early impactful years shaped him into an adult with a profound love of creation, and also for the people who inhabit creation. Dr. Kellner has been a youth pastor, a professor at the University of West Virginia, and is now director of commercial innovation at the Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis. Dan talks with Elliott about trees, water, creation care, and how in his current role at the Danforth Center Elliott brings together his academic discipline with practical application.  

Also, check out the brief interview at the end with Zac Waggener, a recent participant in one of CFW’s cohorts and how his experience helped him to make a difference in his corner of the world.

To be human is to desire, and that capacity can be directed toward things both sinful and holy. Jen Pollack Michel says desire  “can bring us most honestly and vulnerably into the presence of God, and He is the one who rightly orders our desires.” In this wonderfully vulnerable discussion, Dan and guest host Abby Karsten discuss the nature of desire, how God shapes and orders the longings of our heart, and what it means when even our rightly ordered desires are not granted.

It thrills us, challenges us, moves us, frightens us, fills us with awe, wonder and hope: art. The creative impulse is a vibrant and wonderful thing, fully mysterious in the ways in which it has inhabited individuals throughout human history. On this week’s episode of Working w. Dan Doriani, Dan talks with pastor and noted author Russ Ramsey about his latest book, Rembrandt is in the Wind. Russ addresses the transcendence of art, but also the vulnerability of the wounded humans behind our great masterpieces. What does art, and the broken lives of artists, tell us about the world? More fully, how can we see the gospel threaded through the miasma of their pain?

Music has the ability to comfort, to inspire, to bring us to a place of worship. Sandra McCracken has been making music that does all of that for several decades. Sandra has had a successful solo career and has been a member of several influential and well-known groups. Perhaps best known for her recent work crafting songs from the Psalms intended for congregational singing, Sandra and Dan discuss the nature of songcraft in this episode. How does inspiration strike – or does it? And why the Psalms are such fertile ground to compose modern hymns.

“Our creativity is better with seasons of rest,” says Kelly Kapic, author of You’re Only Human: How your limits reflect God’s Design and Why That’s Good News and today's guest on Working with Dan Doriani. Rest is a reflection of our limitations, and limitations are more broadly a sign of our humanness. God made us finite, with boundaries to what we can accomplish. Our creatureliness, our dependency, and our finitude lead us toward humility, or at least it ought to. Dan and Kelly work through all the implications of being human in this illuminating conversation.

Suffering is at the core of the Christian story, yet our experience of suffering as Christians creates all kinds of cognitive, spiritual, and emotional dissonance. Tim Challies, Dan's guest on this episode of Working with Dan Doriani, explicitly identifies this tension when he asks: "When we faced this time of tragedy, it was the time to ask: what is all this theology going to do for you? In your moment of need, are you going to turn away from it, or are you going to go deeper into it?"

Not only did Tim go deeper into it, but he also channeled his grief through his work. The resulting product was his book Seasons of Sorrow. Listen as Dan and Tim discuss the death of Tim's son, the gospel hope behind the sorrow of that loss, and how work – particularly writing – was Tim's way of processing and publicly healing.
