Show notes

Dominic interviews Justin Brierley about his new book, The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, and how we may be witnessing a return of belief in our generation. The cultural narrative that has shaped the west for decades is that secularism has replaced Christianity, and that faith will continue to decline.

They discuss the rise and fall of the new atheism, the influence of public intellectuals embracing faith, and the role the the church ought to play in preparing for renewal.

Who is God? (Part 1) Jun 30, 2023

AW Tozer once wrote: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God."
In this episode, Dominic shares a talk he gave in Oregon, unpacking the topic of God’s character and nature. How do we know this God? What is he like? What is his character and nature?
