Hour 1: Is The Bible At Fault?
Throughout history and around the world, people have made bizarre or dangerous claims in the name of God. They continue to do so today, citing biblical passages out of context or inappropriately. Doing so has led to a wide range of disasters, from executing other Christians for theological differences to wild activities in the name of evangelism, and more. Join us as our guest examines these historical errors, problematic biblical interpretations, and tragedies to reveal how and why the Bible has been misused to justify and rationalize profound acts of persecution, destruction, violence, human rights abuse, and downright strange behavior. Join us to be reminded of how high the stakes can be when we get the Bible wrong.
Hour 2: Hope In The Dark
Why was my child born with a disability? Why did the cancer come back? It can feel impossible to reconcile our intensely painful experiences with the image of a loving and all-powerful God. Today, our guest explores this contradiction with honesty, biblical truth, and the stories of people---including himself---who've wrestled with these deep questions and rediscovered faith.
