Gospelbound

Just listened to the Top Theology Stories of 2023 and have already been inspired to re-evaluate the way I view the struggles of than current age and my relationship with the Lord. Thabks. I look forward to more episodes.

I found the last episode about parenting and women not having children to be a bit frustrating. Definitely need a woman’s point of view to weigh in there. As a woman in my late 30’s I always assumed I would be married and have a few kids by now. However that has not been my story. However I’m so glad I live in a time where I have the option to pursue a career and grow in my faith and skills all the while being open and hoping to have a family of my own. I’m so glad I don’t live in a time when I’m forced to marry someone that isn’t great or stuck at home living as a spinster because it never happened. Glorifying “family values” always seems to be the norm in religious circles and it excludes. We seem to forget about Paul and all the amazing other SINGLE saints. Also sometimes I wish the host would stop asking long and leading questions. Let the guests talk instead of pigeon-holing the questions for a specific response. Otherwise mostly solid.

Colin Hansen does a great job of working through so many difficult cultural issues in light of the Gospel! I would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn more about how the Gospel intersects with daily life.

Hansen has unusual insight. A global thinker grounded in scripture and theology, he sees things at both a broader and deeper level than most. One of the few thinkers who can carry on Keller’s legacy of answering the culture’s questions with fulfilling gospel answers.
