In this episode, we’re defining what we mean when we say “thinking Christianly.” We discuss:

What does the faculty of “thinking” entail?
The difference between the mind and the brain and how they both relate to the soul
How to integrate faith and learning
Different kinds of knowledge and how to seek wisdom beyond the Christian worldview
Making right distinctions and how to make sense of false dichotomies
The state of Christian higher education and a word of hope
