Welcome to The Antithesis with Owen Strachan.  In this episode, Dr. Strachan reminds his brothers and sisters in Christ that they are living in a "negative world," a precise term that describes a world where it is a socio-political disadvantage to publicly claim the name of Christ. But take heart! Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33)! We do not need o waste time and energy trying to appeal to the world's preferences. Preach Christ.

Competing with Kobe, Walking with Jesus (with Mike Penberthy)

Dr. Owen Strachan talks about how fear-based religion operates on the premise of control. However, the gospel of Jesus Christ frees believers from fear-based systems. The fear of God is necessary for knowledge and wisdom, but it is not a terror of God's wrath. Christian fear is rooted in awe and reverence, not in slave-like terror.
