    Dr. Jordan Daniel Wood On Maximus The Confessor

    Dr. Jordan Daniel Wood On Maximus The Confessor

    This was a dense one! Dr. Wood adapted his Ph.D. dissertation into one of the most impressive, modern expositions on Maximus the Confessor. Maximus was a later Patristic of the early church and had his hand cut off and tongue cut out for how firmly he held to the logic of saying Jesus is the central logic (read: logos) of everything.

    He was incredibly humble while also showcasing that he is an expert on Maximus. What a great guy!

    Interview With David Hayward aka @NakedPastor

    This was a delightful interview for the Begin Again Podcast with David Hayward about the kind of work he does, being people who chose to take the Bible VERY seriously, what a healthy church looks like, having a spirituality not built upon fear, anger, or shame, Bible quotes we are not allowed to talk about in church and so much more.

    Dr. Drew Moser, Author Of The Enneagram Of Discernment

    Dr. Drew Moser is a professor at Taylor University in Indiana, author of The Enneagram of Discernment, father of 5, co-host of Fathoms Podcast, and so much more.

    This was a delightful conversation about his book on the Enneagram and how helpful it is, not only to young adults, but to anyone looking for ways to overcome being stuck in their decision-making and how to live a life with more wisdom and discernment. This truly was a joy and it was beyond the shadow of a doubt that Drew knows what he is talking about.

Makes you think

John dispenses with the ordinary and reaches people across the spectrum from atheists to theologians. He will both challenge your long held assumptions yet console you with the grace of the gospel. Listen to be inspired and encouraged.

Important Conversation

Aside from the incredible innate podcasting technical skills (vocals, etc.), topics discussed on this show are invaluable for anyone desiring edifying development. John is wise beyond his years and continues to consistently publish all kinds of powerful material. Highly recommended for late 20’s!
