Reminded, Not Instructed

Brian From opens October with an attempted mid-air attack on a commercial flight and the passengers and off-duty pilots who stopped it. He then recaps his church's first book club, on C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, and reflects on Lewis's point that people need reminding more than instruction. Brian looks at new Lifeway Research data showing one in three churchgoers say some biblical truths "don't fit" what they believe, and asks who holds authority in our lives. He walks through the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 as a lesson in pride, obedience, and God working through ordinary people. He also covers an ESPN feature on why NFL players accept the risk of CTE, a Florida mother arrested for leaving four children home alone during a cruise, and Bryce Harper's postgame reflections on failure and parenting. He closes with Brandon Cooper's Gospel Coalition case for "sometimes wordless evangelism." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
