Turmoil & Toilets: A Theology of Hard Times and an Intro to the NT Letters (with Stanford Gibson and Peter Nittler)
Manage episode 274462299 series 2734862
Have you heard? 2020 is the pits. Things are hard right now. So why, you may ask, are we choosing to turn back the clock and revisit previous terrible times? Wouldn’t it be nicer to hear about something… happier? Strangely, in casting our eyes onto these difficult times, we see something strangely comforting: that we embody a story that is both firm and flexible, hopeful and realistic, and ultimately, strong and tested. It might not take away the acute pain you might be experiencing (and that’s very real!), but it might just take away any existential dread that’s weighing you down. Next (around 34:00), Stanford and Peter (and a toilet) get us acquainted with some of the fundamental features and most beautiful aspects of the New Testament Letters to prepare us as we dive into them next week (first up... James!).
