Ep. 33 - Higher-Ed Bubble, The Pilgrim’s Regress, Akatastasia

Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about the higher education bubble. Then he plugs The Pilgrim’s Regress, and wraps things up with a talk about the Greek word “Akatastasia”. Happy Plodding! 

Show Notes:

Higher-Ed Bubble

• anything that can’t go in indefinitely won’t
• we have lost the concept of university, because you need a universe
• we have a fragmented system
• we have people treating higher education as a sure ticket into the job market
• everything you could learn at school you can find online for a fraction of the cost
• there is going to be a crash, the higher education bubble will burst
• the pricing is crazy, and the government is involved
• we need to deregulate higher ed

The Pilgrim’s Regress

• written by C.S.Lewis
• it is challenging and difficult book
• the book is an allegory defending reason and romanticism
• he wrote this book in two weeks

Akatastasia

• Paul says God is not the author of confusion, but rather of peace (1 Cor.14:33)
• the word for confusion is akatastasia here
• or it can mean tumult
• what is the source of all such confusion and tumult?
• James tells us that the font of this corporate problem is the individual sin of envying and striving (Jas. 3:16)
