If you're an evidentialist, what's the point of church?
from The Lydia McGrew Podcast · host Lydia McGrew Podcast
I've sometimes called myself a rampaging evidentialist. Picking up on an exchange I had recently on Facebook, I respond here to the concern that rampaging evidentialism seems to mean that, if a Christian is doubting his faith, I wouldn't tell him to pray since that would be a non-rational activity. And similarly, the concern that all sorts of Christian practices like taking the Sacrament/Communion, going to church, having fellowship with other Christians, and singing Christian songs are, according to evidentialism, non-rational and therefore, at best, unimportant. But none of that is implied by evidentialism, as you'll see by watching.Here's a post I did quite a few years ago on what evidentialism is not:https://lydiaswebpage.blogspot.com/2020/08/what-evidentialism-is-not.htmlHere's a more recent blog post on the same topic:https://lydiaswebpage.blogspot.com/2025/01/evidentialism-and-apostasy-round-2.html
