The Spirit & Sources of Christian Authority: Where Do We Find Truth Today?

Join host Paul Walker and guests Tania Harris (founder of the "God Conversations" ministry) and Meghan Good for a thought-provoking exploration of Christian authority in today's world. This episode dives into the complex interplay between Scripture, tradition, church community, and the Holy Spirit's ongoing guidance.

Our guests unpack the historical context of Sola Scriptura, examining how this Reformation principle sought to correct church abuses but may have inadvertently diminished our understanding of how the Spirit continues to speak today. Together, they tackle challenging questions: How do we avoid making Scripture the "fourth member of the Trinity" while still honouring its divine inspiration? What does it mean that biblical authority is mediated through Jesus Christ?

Whether wrestling with spiritual discernment, interpreting difficult passages, or seeking to balance tradition with fresh revelation, this episode provides thoughtful perspectives on maintaining Jesus as our foundation while embracing the Spirit's ongoing work in our communities. Don't miss this essential conversation about finding a faithful balance between the ancient text and the living Spirit in an age hungry for authentic spiritual authority.
