  • 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.

  • Fantastic

    I am so glad that I came across this podcast. The conversations are very encouraging and challenging. The variety of speakers in each episode lends to learning how to recognize that we are not all created the same, but we can learn to love each person where they are, and grow more like Christ.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hope in the Darkness with Curt Thompson
Q: What is the role of community when the very group that should support you contributes to your suffering?
Repair ruptures, name the pain clearly, and pursue new or repaired relationships with vulnerable honesty; if a particular community cannot support healing, seek other relationships where you can be truly known and supported while staying open to reconciliation.
Hope in the Darkness with Curt Thompson
Q: Can we suffer with hope outside of a community, or does durable hope require belonging to a confessional or supportive group?
Durable hope emerges from being in an embodied, bringing-one-another-into-our-story type of community where people are seen, known, and loved, and where suffering is named and faced together rather than alone.
Hope in the Darkness with Curt Thompson
Q: How do you help people distinguish what pain is theirs to face with God's help, versus suffering self-imposed or added by the adversary?
By asking about the story someone is telling themselves, exploring what parts of their experience belong to them, and staying present with them in a curious, non-judgmental way to name the nature of the suffering, which helps discern what to address with community and what to entrust to God.
On Epic Beginnings with Malcolm Guite
Q: What are some of the virtues that you hope we will see and learn from your work?
I aim to nurture and exemplify virtues that are essential for life, especially character formation, particularly for young men.
On Epic Beginnings with Malcolm Guite
Q: What advice or disciplines would you speak into two academic institutions facing artificial intelligence and a horizon that seems to stifle creativity?
Emphasize the uniqueness of human language and connection, as AI lacks genuine consciousness; encourage people to cherish real, human experiences.
