What do you mean God speaks?

Religion EN ↓ 86 episodes

A series that reconstrues and retells key ideas, insights, and stories in Christianity for the skeptics who want to understand religion, Christians with questions about their own beliefs, and everyone in between. I am Paul Seungoh Chung, the author of "GOD"? What's That? and God at the Crossroads of Worldviews. I invite you to explore with me the world shared by 2.4 billion people--one that inspired our ideals, imaginations, and intellect, for better or for worse. (Note: I recommend listening to the episodes in order--from the first to the latest.)

Episode Guide for the 1st Season, Episodes 1 ~ 6 19.01.2021

Send us Fan Mail The episodes for this series builds from the previous episodes, -and- the first season especially cover the more complicated ideas. So, periodically, I will release an extra episode that has a summary review for the previous episodes.  This bonus episode will discuss what the first season is doing, and what each episode is about.         0:00 Introduction         0:27 What the 1st...

S1E6: What to remember when speaking about God (What do you mean by God? 2) 12.01.2021

Send us Fan Mail What are we doing when we think or speak about God? Is it even possible that human words or concepts can truly describe the "Infinite Reality," which is God? More to the point, isn't Christian description of God anthropomorphism, wrongly attributing human characteristic to Reality that is beyond us? The classical Christian answer is that everything we say of God com...

This is how the Nation dies (News reaction) 07.01.2021

Send us Fan Mail A mob has stormed the U.S. Capitol. If anything kills the nation, this will kill it. Not the protest, nor the storming itself, but what motivated it. And if what motivated them motivate most people in that country, that country is on its deathbed. And if the Church cannot be (and has not been) a counter-example, then.... [Edit note: expanded by 2 minutes, to explain a few points I...

S1E5: Which is the "real" Christianity? 05.01.2021

Send us Fan Mail Christians disagree among themselves about what Christians believe. Some support certain political leaders and policies fanatically, while others are very critical of them. Some believe modern science goes against the belief in God, while others think it enriches their understanding of God. There are different branches of Christianity, and different denominations. And there is als...

S1E4: God, Science, the Universe, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster 29.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail If science can explain how the universe began and evolves through the Laws of Nature, does that make the idea of a Creator about as superfluous as the Flying Spaghetti Monster? That depends on what we mean by God. How Christians understand what it means to say, "God created the world," is very diverse and complex. But, what is core to all their understanding is an idea f...

S1E3: Why Christmas starts from despair 22.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail Why is Christmas on December 25th, when it's not actually the historical birthday of Jesus? Because it expresses an important aspect of what the day means; the Christian story of Jesus Christ starts from despair. It begins from a deep sense that we are not where we should be and where we could have been, a sense of loss and being lost. In a year when Christmas has arrived dur...

Interlude: Paul Chung talks about the series 18.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail In this extra episode, I talk about the series, what I'm hoping to do through it, my background, and why I pronounce my name "Jung" instead of "Chung." An informal episode.

S1E2: Why we should aim higher than tolerance 12.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail Our societies are becoming more polarized, and increasingly less able to hold fruitful conversations with people with different views. Simply put, we don't know how to disagree properly about things important to us. A look at why this series is for the skeptics who want to understand religious viewpoints, Christians with questions about their own beliefs, and everyone in betw...

S1E1: Why there's no job for God (What do you mean by God?) 12.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to believe in God, especially in a world where God seems nowhere to be found? That depends on what we mean by God. Yet, most of us no longer seem to really understand the idea God, as we try and often fail to find God in our modern, scientific, and secular world. But, this is because the actual idea of God is more about how we relate to Reality as a whole. So, le...
