The “Sin of Certainty”? 2016-04-03T14:55:19-04:00 Brandan Robertson

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Hey friends- I am beginning to do weekly video blogs where I rant about a topic relating spirituality, sexuality, politics, or social renewal. It’s my way to keep having conversations with you all without having to write so much (I’m in grad school and working on a book, so I’m a bit drained!) I hope you’ll interact with these videos and share your thoughts!

This week, I talk about the “sin of certainty” based on my friend Pete Enns new book that comes out this week. Why do we feel the need to grasp on to objective, systematic truth? Can our faith survive without being sure about what we believe? These are the questions I explore in this weeks vlog post. Check it out!
