The idea that Christianity and science are inextricably in conflict is a relatively recent conception. However, with each new scientific discovery and scriptural insight, it’s an idea that’s being proved to be insupportable. Our guest has immersed himself in both science and faith and knows they work beautifully together to sing of the greatness of God. He will examine modern scientific concepts and what they can teach us about theological truths, such as the dual nature of Christ. Following the path of Christ and holding a scientific worldview at the same time is not only possible but also leads to a fuller, richer life of harmony and truth.
Christianity has been on a trajectory of decline since its peak in the mid-20th century. Cultural shifts have led many to develop a more neutral, even negative, view of the faith. Our guest will look at the past 70 years and suggest strategies to live faithfully and become missionally engaged in a world full of challenges.
