A Counter Catechism

This episode comes out of an article I wrote a few months ago called A Counter Catechism. I was inspired by a book called Life in the Negative World, where the author, a man named Ren, said we needed to know what we believe and what we don't believe in light of the negativity towards Christianity today, even the hostility. So I've written a piece on a counter catechism concerning belief in God, and I would like to read part of that today.

Spiritual Lessons I've Learned from My Dog

In this week's episode of Truth Tribe, Dr. Groothuis discusses the spiritual lessons learned from his dog, Sonny, a golden doodle.

Dr. Groothuis argues against viewing pets as replacements for human children and highlights the importance of human procreation. He explores how dogs' existence, beauty, skills, and emotional bonds with humans can illustrate aspects of God's nature.

I have been a follower/reader of Douglas Groothuis since about 2000 when I picked up his book “Truth Decay” and read it. His podcast has the depth that you would expect from a Christian philosopher who is concerned that Christians understand worldview and cultural issues. It’s seminary level material. I highly recommend it to you!
Clear and Straightforward

I’ll read and listen to anything Groothuis has to say. He speaks as he writes—clearly, so the lay audience can understand. He’s discovered the secret that you don’t need $100 words to make your case intelligently and coherently. Highly recommended!
