This is the first episode of my new podcast, “The Flâneur and the Philosopher,” together with my friend King Laugh.
Putting it in a nutshell, “The Flâneur and the Philosopher” is a show in which a lover of wisdom and an ambulatory social critic seek the good through friendship and conversation.
One of our driving questions is whether the church is and how it can lead people to live examined lives, leading to spiritual maturity. I explored some of the limitations of contemporary Reformed theology, seminary, and being a theology nerd in previous essays.
Let My People Prophesy
The question this episode is whether revering the sermon as the central act of Protestant worship limits spiritual growth. Our guest, Jack Prophesy, argued as much on Twitter this week:
Strong words.
King Laugh and I put Jack’s critique to the test and explore ways that the church could better embody the priesthood of all believers.
