  • No add

    Thank you for the podcast you are doing. It is interesting very much. And mind opening.

    Do you have any idea how to be in a work place with non-Christian people and how to be not affected by negative impressions or how to be friendly but not to talk so much about the other stuff?

  • Better together - Trinity Forum and Malcolm Guite

    I have listened to Trinity Forum and i have listened to Malcolm Guite, but together they are the best of each. I had never heard MG speak to me this way. This is a conversation to be saved, to be savored and to be remembered. Thank you both.

  • This show represents what the leftist academy that claims to be Christian thinks

    All of their guests seem to come from the academy or agree with that perspective. Too often they seem to place allegiance to the leftist elites views ahead of what the Bible says or seeking truth.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Deeper Life in an Uncertain Age, with James K. A. Smith
Q: So what led you to write this book?
Smith says personal suffering, especially debilitating depression, forced him to confront experiences he could not analyze or think his way out of. Learning to remain in disorientation helped him discover new possibilities.
The Founders, the First Freedom, and Us, with David French
Q: What spade work needs to occur to ensure broad-based support for classical liberalism and maintain religious pluralism?
French says advocates first need to understand the critique that individual rights weaken social bonds, religion and family. He argues that religious liberty and individual freedom can support a thriving religious culture, while state-established religion risks becoming oppressive and associating faith with the state's abuses.
The Founders, the First Freedom, and Us, with David French
Q: How can we make sense of the founders' contradictions?
French says their wrongs should be judged as wrong, without dismissing the true and virtuous principles they also advanced. He notes that many founders recognized the moral tension around slavery, and that their failures do not invalidate the declaration of human dignity.
Learning to See, with Jennifer Trafton
Q: How does Lilias's concept of seeing relate to loving others, and what can listeners take away about practicing patient attention in daily life?
They discuss Lilias's habit of slow, attentive seeing, the integration of scripture and observation, and the idea that seeing is the gateway to loving others and serving communities, including practical acts like creating spaces for women and supporting the poor.
Learning to See, with Jennifer Trafton
Q: Walk us through who Lilias was and why Ruskin mattered in her life, including the pivotal choices she made about painting and mission.
She recounts Ruskin mentoring Lilias, the tension between artistic ambition and spiritual vocation, and Lilias's eventual move from pursuing painting glory to engaging deeply with people through ministry in London and North Africa.
