Evangelicalism in Conversation with Tradition

In this episode, Kyle introduces the concept of evangelical spirituality as a Word-centered, Spirit-empowered, whole-life spirituality. He explains how he was impacted by the spirituality of the evangelical tradition, particularly the Puritans and early evangelicals. Kyle emphasizes the interconnectedness of three key aspects: individual spiritual formation, family life, and the communal spiritual life of the church. He discusses the importance of a Word-centered spirituality that centers on Christ and Scripture as the Word of God, as well as a Spirit-empowered spirituality that recognizes the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Lastly, he highlights the significance of a whole-life spirituality that encompasses all aspects of our lives as those called to bear-witness to Christ in this present evil age.
