Having reached 100 episodes on this journey of “faith and folly,” and for this landmark installment of the Struggling for Purpose , I sat down with a man whose life story reads like a high-octane thriller: James R. Hannibal . James isn’t just an author; he’s a former A-10 Warthog and B-2 Spirit stealth pilot, a synesthete, and the man tasked with carrying forward the legacy of one of the most uniq...

As a whole, I think western cultures have forgotten how to wonder. We have a small slab of glass and silicon that we can use to get the answers to nearly every question we have and I don’t think that’s always a good thing.

Today I talk about some shocking responses to a survey conducted by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Research. You can follow along here: thestateofthelogy.com How is it that 100% of the respondents to this survey affirm that, “The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe,” and yet 53% believe the Holy Spirit is a force and not a person? I talk about these and other findings from this surv...

Today is International Podcast Day and I thought I’d share a brief history of podcasting as I witnessed it.

Have you ever been asked what you’d bring with you if you were stranded in a deserted island? I’m terrible at this question but I’ve given it a try in this podcast episode. In this episode you’ll hear: Why I think classical music (Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, etc.) would be my first choice. Why even though I love reading the Bible I wouldn’t bring one with me. Why I don’t like the idea of being stuck...
