Living in the Age of Comfort Addiction: Q&A With Erin Straza

Last updated on: October 11, 2017 at 10:30 am By Megan Schmidt

In our over-scheduled and over-stimulated society, addiction is everywhere. It’s the millennial who can’t put down her smartphone while having lunch with friends, it’s the father who takes home work on the weekend, or the people pleaser who won’t stand up for themselves in a relationship. The truth is, most of us are addicts in some way and exceedingly our drug of choice is comfort. Regardless of how “safe” or “harmless” the behaviors might seem, if we are using it to... Read more

7 Billion Universes: An Interview With Deepak Chopra

Last updated on: October 11, 2017 at 10:31 am By Megan Schmidt

by Megan Schmidt If you pay attention to the work of astronomers, you might know that the universe was born from the Big Bang about 13.75 billion years ago, that it’s made of 70 percent dark energy, and that the universe is rapidly expanding and cooling as it ages. What do all of these theories (or facts, depending on your worldview) have in common? It’s humans who have made these scientific discoveries—based on their knowledge, training, expertise, experiences, and the... Read more

Protecting Life From Womb to Tomb: Q&A With Melissa Ohden

Last updated on: January 10, 2017 at 4:24 pm By Megan Schmidt

Here's a question I pondered for years: Can I be a feminist and be pro-life? Already as a teen, I identified as a feminist and had a lot of interest in women's issues. I spent years wrestling with how my feminist beliefs and my views on abortion might fit together, because I wasn't well versed in the first wave of feminism, but only the second wave (thanks to my school and the media), the one that most people understand to be feminism but which is in stark contrast to the first wave and its support for life.

Who Are We to Judge? A Review of ‘Paul Behaving Badly’

Last updated on: January 2, 2017 at 11:49 am By Megan Schmidt

These are strange times for the apostle Paul. The contemporary resurgence of Calvinism and Reformed theology as promoted by writers like John Piper has prompted a renewed interest in the traditional Protestant interpretations of Paul. At the same time, a movement known as the “New Perspective on Paul,” launched by E.P. Sanders and popularized N.T. Wright, has questioned these traditional interpretations of Paul and has gained a significant following. Read more

Paul and His Passionate Priorities: A Q&A with E. Randolph Richards and Brandon O’Brien

Last updated on: November 22, 2016 at 1:50 pm By K. Mulhern

Paul has often been a lightning rod for the church. Jesus may be called “meek and mild,” but no one has ever thought of Paul that way. From the beginning, he challenged everyone—apostles, church members, Roman authorities, fellow Jews. His writings are dense, passionate, and at times, as Peter wrote, “hard to understand.” Yet his zeal only matches his confidence in the power of Christ to change the world. Brandon O’Brien and Randolph Richards have tackled Paul’s reputation head-on. Point by... Read more

In the Driver’s Seat: A Patheos Q&A with Rob Fuquay

Last updated on: November 15, 2016 at 3:10 pm By K. Mulhern

There are multiple analogies for living the Christian life, but one of the most ancient is the idea of a journey—a journey through life, a journey home to God. And within that general imagery, we can pick up master works on such iterations as pilgrimages, climbing, sailing, dancing. Paul uses the image when he talks about running a race, a race you mean to win (1 Corinthians 9:24). Pastor Rob Fuquay has drawn that very image into the 21st century,... Read more

Mystery and Hope: A Q&A with Thomas Moore

Last updated on: November 15, 2016 at 3:08 pm By K. Mulhern

Thomas Moore’s new book, The Soul of Christmas, is for all of these, and for the ones who don’t even think about the season at all.
