Episode 54: Are We There Yet? Our Western Obsession with the Theological Finish Line.

from Hodgepodge Theology · host James Runcorn & Eric Meeter

What We're Diving Into: The "Efficiency" Trap: Why we try to "life-hack" our sanctification and spiritual growth. The Theology of the Interval: Learning to see the "waiting rooms" of life not as wasted time, but as holy ground. Endurance vs. Arrival: Shifting our perspective from "getting it over with" to "getting something out of it." The Final Wrap-up: Why the journey isn't just the path to the destination—The journey with Christ Jesus is the destination. We also solve the debate over starfish vs sea star AND the controversy over the planetary designation of Pluto (a planet).

Institutes of Theology Countryside Bible Church Equipping God's People in God's Truth Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance!
