The Methinks Podcast

The hosts are very well-read, and knowledgeable in history and philosophy, especially those relevant for christians who are interested in how we should live in this world, care about interact with society. Overall, hearing questions phrased the way they do here, helps me with processing some of my thoughts, some I was perhaps a bit scared to reflect on. The hosts are honest when it comes to their opinions, but I think also provide alternative views out there. For the serious topics they do cover here, I'm thankful for the gentle tone in their conversation, as opposed to some of the angrier voices out there. Thanks Joel, thanks Maggie!

This is not your typical Christian podcast. Expect to be challenged. Expect to be humbled. Expect to learn something. What makes this show unique is that it doesn’t shy away from tackling difficult topics — it dives in head first. If that gives you pause, rest assured that the hosts are not the boorish, talk radio-types seeking to peddle thinly veiled political propaganda that floods a lot of Christian programming. Expect to be encouraged to think. The methods they use to explore idealogical flash-points should be emulated by all Christians. Their process starts with a strong understanding and reliance on the Word of God to get at the core principles of a topic. They then take this foundation and build upon it using history and logic, two disciplines which the hosts are uniquely qualified to wield, with a large dash of humility for their positions and a huge amount of consideration for the other side. With so much discourse among evangelicals being lost in a mire of alternative facts and conspiracy, we need more rational, Christian voices like this weighing in on the important questions. More please.
