43 - Josh Daws on Seeker Sensitive Church Planting, Relational Evangelism, and “Groomer Schools”
Josh Daws it the host of the podcast “The Great Awokening.” Josh grew up in the church and was part of a church plant in North Hollywood after moving to California to pursue his career in filmmaking. In this episode he shares his reflections on seeker sensitive church planting and relational evangelism. We discuss the reason many Christians adopt a relational evangelism strategy and reasons to avoid it. We explore the challenge of ministering to people in our current cultural climate particularly in a secular workplace. Finally, we close out discussing the idea of “grooming” in public schools as it pertains to sexual identity in children. What does a seeker sensitive church prioritize? What is relational evangelism? What does it look like to be a faithful presence? Is that a failed model? What is “grooming” and is it a term that can be used regarding gender and sex ideology in schools?Join my Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Josh Daws on Twitter - https://twitter.com/JoshDawsThe Great Awokening - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-great-awokening-podcast/id1572538463Thread on Seeker Sensitive planting and evangelical elite - https://twitter.com/JoshDaws/status/1496130105843847171Thread on the problem of relational evangelism - https://twitter.com/JoshDaws/status/1426719212639244290Thread on “grooming” in schools - https://twitter.com/JoshDaws/status/1509560754206392321Support 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/

42 - What Does It Mean to be Human?
One of the biggest questions of our day is: what does it mean to be human? While this question may not seem that important at first glance, once we see how it informs basic assumptions about morality, gender, sexuality, and technology we see how it shapes our world. In this episode I deal with both the Imago Dei as a theological category and human composition. We explore the implications for these categories in the areas of abortion, transgenderism, and virtual church.

39 - Boom. Roasted. (A Review of an Article I Wrote in 2014)
In this episode, I review an article I wrote in 2014 to examine my theological journey. Many people seem unwilling or unable to articulate how they have grown. This episode is an attempt to audit my own development to see how I’ve changed. https://www.amazon.com/Killed-Michael-Brown-Shelby-Steele/dp/B08L9NVK4Jhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlokPx6QHBohttp://jchasedavis.blogspot.com/2014/11/foreigner.htmlhttp://theembassy.org/index.php/foreigner-chase-davis/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/

38 - Borders, Boundaries, and Power
In this episode, we explore several underlying ideas which have wide ranging implications from disciple making to international relations. Many people think our world is one in which individualism is rampant. But what if it was enmeshment that was rampant? We seem unable to discuss borders and boundaries both relationally and nationally. We also seem to display a double standard when it comes to defending our own country compared to our outcry over defending others. The latest example can be seen in Ukraine (2022). Why do boundaries matter? What should we think of power? How should Christians pray for world events?MereO Article - https://mereorthodoxy.com/borderless/Aaron Renn Newsletter - https://aaronrenn.substack.com/p/newsletter-61-rediscovering-the-lost?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=webPodcast on Imprecatory Psalms - https://fullprooftheology.buzzsprout.com/1249781/9066006-21-imprecatory-psalms-and-pacifismSupport 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/

37 - Dr. Brian Mattson on Public Theology, Herman Bavinck, and Being Banned from Twitter
In this episode, Dr. Mattson and I discuss public theology (what it is and what it isn’t) particularly as it relates to Herman Bavinck. We also discuss how Christians can be good public theologians today. Do we need public theology? How do we decide when to risk access to the public square by saying things that could get us banned from the public square? Brian Mattson is a theologian, writer, speaker.

34 - Tim Keller, Chris Watkin, and Biblical Critical Theory
In this episode, we explore the concept of a Biblical Critical Theory as represented by Chris Watkin (and Tim Keller). Can Christians use critical theory?
