87 - Clifford Humphrey on Counterfeit Leadership and Compelling Excellence
In this conversation with Clifford Humphrey, we discuss leadership. Clifford proposes that much of what passes for leadership today is better considered management. Everything from generalship, wealth management, to rhetoric, is considered leadership today. What might it look like to have a deeper understanding of leadership? How can we develop leaders with moral vision rather than just managers and rhetoricians?Support the show!! - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavishttps://twitter.com/cphumphreyFrom Temperance to Character - https://amzn.to/3ogEHz2Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

85 - Os Guinness on Signals of Transcendence and Christians in Revolutionary Times
In this episode, Os Guinness shares about his latest book Signals of Transcendence which is written to provide ten examples of famous atheists who came to know God through a unique moment in their life. Each story gives a brief summary of figures like Chesterton and Lewis highlighting their specific experience that led them to begin to take God more seriously. We also explore what it looks like for Christians to engage culture and politics during revolutionary times. Many Christians today just want to keep their heads down and remain faithful as Western civilization declines. Os counters this idea and suggests a better way for Christians to witness in the American republic.

83 - Colin Redemer on Thomas Traherne’s “Christian Ethics”
In this episode, Colin Redemer and I discuss the life and work of pastor, poet, and theologian Thomas Traherne (1637-1675). To start, we talk about why Colin feels that Traherne’s work is so necessary today and challenges faced in bringing “Christian Ethics” to publication today. We explore the topics of virtue ethics, love, Aristotelianism. Bio - Colin Redemer is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Saint Mary’s College of California and the Vice President of the Davenant Institute. He loves teaching on the intersection between History, Philosophy, Literature, and Christianity.Excerpt: “THE GOAL of this work is not to entertain you, but to elevate your soul, to refine your soul’s understanding, inform its judgment, and polish it for conversation. To purify and enflame the heart, to enrich the mind, and to guide men (that stand in need of help) in the way of virtue. And it will do this not by fasting with a long face but by exciting men’s desire, encouraging them to travel, comforting them in the journey, and so at last to lead them to true happiness, both here and after death.”Support the show!! - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisChristian Ethics - https://amzn.to/3yszjebAristotle - https://amzn.to/3ZQERecDavenant Institute - https://davenantinstitute.org/Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
