Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways.  The #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations allow for light and truth to be shed on the abuse of power.  Often organizations and churches want to prevent this abuse, but many lack an awareness of how power actually works.  Dr. Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for how we can address these issues and understand how power can be redeemed.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Often we think of food as simply our source of energy or something we share together at the dinner table, but have you ever thought of food in regards to discipleship and following Christ?  Dana Robinson has recently written a book on this very subject, specifically how food was used to form and shape Early Christianity.  We had a wonderful conversation about her book, "Food, Virtue, and the Shaping of Early Christianity."  In it we discuss the Early Church and how the dinner table, food, and following Christ were all tied together.  We also discussed how this might impact our modern understanding of food and our walk with Christ.  Enjoy this conversation! We hope it reframes your understanding of food.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening. Please like, rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice and share this episode with a friend.

It is clear that we are living in and moving towards a post-Christian secular society, but is this actually a problem for the Church and society?  Should we try to hold tightly to Christendom or might this secular age provide more opportunities than we think?  We had a wonderful conversation with Gordon T. Smith on these questions and discussed his most recent book, "Wisdom From Babylon: Leadership for the Church in a Secular Age."  Drawing Biblical Wisdom from the prophets, 1 Peter's audience, and others we find an appropriate Christian response to the secular age.  Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.
