77. Hope, Privilege, and Optimus Prime [I Need Something Life-Giving]
STARTER PACK: I Need Something Life-Giving
Is it possible to be *too* optimistic? That's what Stephen's wondering today as he grapples with the possible links between his sense of optimism and hope for the world and his experience of privilege. We discuss the helplessness of hope, being God's gift to the world, and the inherently optimistic mindset of continuous improvement.

79. Theophobia
We welcome the voice of one of our friends and supporters to get us started on the concept of "the fear of God". Chad wonders how we should read this idea out of the biblical text and if it could mean something different than "fear". We discuss the linguistic options before us as senses of terror, awe, reverence, respect, and trembling.
