Beauty will Save the World: with Zach Dasher

08/24/22 • 72 min

Beauty can be associated with skin-deep attractiveness, but God's beauty, the beauty of love, humility, and forgiveness, is far more powerful and can never be exhausted. Creation is saturated with God's character and His beauty. This should affect our worship, but does it? Do we have a theology of beauty? Zach Dasher, media producer and nephew of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, joins us today to explain how important beauty is, why people are so hungry for it, and how we can respond to that hunger.

Eliminating the Sacred Secular Divide: with Christian Overman

Tragically, much of the evangelical church is beset by a false and destructive way of thinking called “the sacred-secular divide,” which sees reality as divided between two realms: The sacred and secular. The “sacred” deals with topics like church, salvation, heaven, and personal holiness. The “secular” covers basically everything else. According to this way of thinking, Jesus is Lord over the sacred realm, but not the secular realm, which is fallen, satanic, and destined for destruction. Likewise, the Bible applies to sacred topics but not to secular topics. In this episode, Christian Overman, author of Eliminating the Sacred/Secular Divide, joins us to discuss the tragic consequences of this false belief system for the church and the broader society. Most importantly, we discuss how to break down this false divide and honor Jesus as Lord over all!

We've been divided based on our racial identities, our sexual identities, our gender, our whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever. And everybody is more isolated than they've ever been. One author says we're drowning in data yet thirsting for meaning. Like it's we're at this place and culture I think post Christian culture is poised to be seen a revival because I think that we are hungering for intimacy that only we can find in the living God.</
