Episode notes
Science Validates Scripture
- Archaeology and neuroscience repeatedly confirm what Scripture describes about human nature and history.
- Jeff Schulte says scientific discoveries often 'confirm what God says about us.'
Self-Knowledge Leads To God
- John Calvin argued true wisdom combines knowledge of God and knowledge of self.
- Calvin taught our poverty and need lead us toward God, not away from Him.
Yield To Feelings, Don't Cast Them Off
- Yield to your God-given feelings rather than casting them off as defects.
- Use feelings to recognize neediness that drives you to Christ and healthy attachment.
