Episode notes
Spiritual Obesity From Unmetabolized Input
- Consuming lots of theology or content without practicing it creates "spiritual obesity."
- That overconsumption hardens the heart and reduces compassion despite high knowledge.
Adventures In Odyssey Parenting Example
- Seth recounts an Adventures in Odyssey story where a dad throws a tantrum and the daughter must repair the relationship.
- He uses the story to show how doctrinally correct parenting can still produce cold, uncompassionate homes.
Doctrine's Goal Is Greater Love
- Knowing doctrine is step one, but the goal of theology is to increase love and affectionate care.
- Mature disciples show orthopraxy: their life expresses the warmth of the Father's heart, not just correct belief.
