Why Godly Patriarchs Need Brotherly Community | Micah Morgan & Khaldoun Sweis, PhD. Returns!

Do you want to follow biblical principles in all arenas of life? If so, you've probably found that it's not always easy to know how biblical ideas translate and apply to everyday life. You need to be in godly, manly, fraternal community, my friend. 

That's what we're talking about in this episode of the ThinkPod. 

Joel Settecase is joined by Micah Morgan and Dr. Khaldoun Sweis. Micah is a custom homebuilder and the CEO of Red Cloud Contracting. He and Joel have been friends since 1994. Back in high school they used to hang out with their other friend outside the local Jewel Osco, enjoying the finest cigars their local Speedway had to offer and pontificating on life's big questions. They called these meetups AWOL. It was awesome. Nowadays, building on that tradition, they host monthly AWOL gatherings for men in the Fox Valley region of Illinois. The cigars have gotten better, and the conversation is still awesome. 

Khaldoun A. Sweis, is a Jordanian American Life Coach and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Olive-Harvey College in Chicago and serves as tutor in philosophy with Oxford University in England. After losing his son Enoch, who died in his arms, he had a paradigm shift in his life and ministry. His experience entails teaching philosophy and apologetics for over a decade as well as speaking at conferences both nationally and abroad in such locations as Hong Kong, Romania, Australia, and England. He has three books including Killing God: Addressing the Seven Most Common Objections from the New Atheists. He is a member of the American Philosophical Association and the Evangelical Philosophical Society. His goal is to help equip believers to deal with suffering productively and engage culture redemptively.

Today they're bringing AWOL to you, as they dive in to several current cultural challenges and seek to view them in light of the timeless truth of God's word.
