Theology on Tuesdays St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC

This week Brian and Justin have their wives join them for a discussion about relationships. They chat about what the biblical understanding of marriage is, when and how to prepare for marriage, as well as as well as what might be some wisdom when it comes to navigating dating and singleness.

This week Justin and Brian discuss what the Bible says about the topic of clothing. The Bible, suprisingly, has a lot to say about clothing, both metaphorically and literally. In all of what it says, our choices concerning what we wear are infused with signficance and purpose, and we are given principles to help us discern wisdom when it comes to our clothing.

This week Justin and Brian discuss how advances in technology of late, while helpful in many regards, have posed significant challenges for relationships and human flourishing. What does it mean to be a human being? What role does our body play in our human identity? What challenges do we face today to live embodied lives and why is that important? How intentional must we be in pushing back on technology and the world around us if we want to our lives to flourish? Justin and Brian seek to answer these questions and more this week at ToT.

This week Brian is joined by the Right Rev. Chip Edgar, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina, and they discuss one of their favorite topics: the use of fiction in nourishing faith! Listen in as they discuss how the works of Flannery O'Conner, George MacDonald, and, of course, Lewis and Tolkien can be used as aids in your own faith today.

This week Justin and Brian discuss the virtue of humility and how needed it is today. They discuss the true nature of humuility and how it pushes back on the modern understanding of 'tolerance' and how it also will produce a better society.

Pornography has changed significantly just in the last 10-20 years. It has become so prevalent that it is actually invasive. How should the church respond to this? Has it misunderstood the Scriptures? What hope is held out to those who are bombarded with it today? Brian and Justin answer these questions and more this week at ToT.
