Hour 1: Grand Central Question
All religions and worldviews seek to answer the fundamental questions of human existence:
· Why am I here?
· What does it mean to be human?
· Why is there evil in the world and how do we deal with it?
But not every worldview places equal emphasis on each issue. The main worldviews each tend to stress a different central question. Secular humanism focuses on: What is the inherent value of human beings? Pantheism emphasizes: How do we escape suffering? Islam's main concern is: How is God great? Abdu Murray will join us to dig deeply into these three representatives of major worldviews of our day: atheism, pantheism and theism. Learn to think biblically and critically.
Hour 2: The Death of Free Speech
The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear a legal challenge to Colorado’s law prohibiting licensed counselors from providing sexual orientation change efforts therapy for clients seeking their help. What does that mean for Christian counselors whose desire is to help those who struggle with and want out of same-sex attraction? Joe Dallas, a biblical counselor who specializes in this area, will explain what “conversation therapy” is and isn’t and how the High Court’s decision might impact the spreading of the Gospel.
