This week we are wikiing God with Dr. Brian J. Walsh
Brian is an author, farmer, and professor at Wycliffe College and he shares the story of his early years and how he first came to know Jesus people and the gospel. Then he talks about what motivates his theological reflections on the music of Bruce Cockburn, and expounds on how we’ve lost our way in handling ancient texts, how to get back on track, and how to handle tensions and contradictions between Biblical texts.
Mark and Brian then discuss convictions around “owning” one’s worldview, how to evaluate our collective worldviews, and how worldviews can interact with one another. Finally, he turns to the question of what is wrong with Empire, how a Christian worldview must subvert empire, and what it means to be faithful to a new vision of what the world can be.
