Loving God with our whole person, including our minds, used to be true of most Christians. But this is no longer the case. This stunts our spiritual growth. It also severely limits our ability to influence our culture.

How did this shift occur? In this inaugural episode, Stan, J.P., and Jordan discuss some of the factors that led to this shift, the ways we see this manifest in our lives and churches today, and why we should seek once again to integrate faith and reason.

In this podcast we discuss: 

How JP and Stan met and developed a friendship
How both got interested in the topic of the Christian mind
The importance of Christians asking questions and seeking answers
How pastors can cultivate loving God with our minds
Ideas that have led to our dividing faith from reason
Why we shouldn’t approach ministry solely on the basis of "what works"
Effective ways to engage ideas in our culture
The challenges we face due to the presuppositions of modern higher education
Some features of a well-formed Christian mind
