How (not) to totally destroy your theological opponents

Arguments about who God is often get in the way of showing God is unconditional love.

S1:E23 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, Pastor Adam Ericksen addresses Penny’s question focusing on “How (not) to totally destroy your theological opponents.” Brian McLaren offers a way to address differences in belief that avoids a confrontational exchange. Arguments about who God is often gets in the way of showing God is unconditional love.

Another model for engaging people of different beliefs in activities focused on a higher purpose is Eboo Patel, founder of Interfaith Youth Core. “Partnering with higher education institutions and corporations, IFYC is dedicated to making interfaith cooperation the norm and building Interfaith America in the 21st century.”
