The Four Gospel Journey with Dr. Alexander Shaia
In today’s episode of the Zeitcast Jonathan sits down with guest Dr. Alexander Shaia as they discuss Alexander’s book Heart and Mind- The Four Gospel Journey For Radical Transformation. In this fresh lens, each gospel account is more than a telling of Jesus' life and words. Each is the story of a practice in response to a the journey of life. And these four gospels are more than the sum of their parts. The four in the sequence of their ancient reading cycle form a telling of the universal journey of growth, transformation and love.Dr. Shaia was born and raised as part of a Lebanese community in Birmingham, Alabama. He attended Notre Dame University where he received a degree in Cultural Anthropology. Next came a Master’s in Counseling Education, a Master’s in Religious Education, a graduate certificate in Pastoral Psychotherapy, and a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology.He is the author of several books including the soon to be re-issued Radical Transformation- The Four Gospel Journey of the Heart and Mind.Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sonofapreacherman/Visit Jonathan's Website: http://www.jonathanmartinwords.com/Watch The Zeitcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdHzTuNKhTK-AZjfmkxQiwwPlease rate, review, share, and subscribe!Edited and produced by Joel Everson
