Samson: a Biblical Hero with Dr. Owen Anderson

Dr. Owen Anderson, Head Pastor of Christ the King Reformed Church and professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University joins me to talk about his latest book Samson: a Biblical Hero.We have been taught in sermons and Sunday School to treat Samson as just a deeply flawed and naive man full of lust and ego. Dr. Anderson explains that, despite Samson's imperfections, we may be reading between the lines to accuse him of things he may not have done.Dr. Anderson argues that a Biblical understanding of Samson as a strong and humble hero points to Christ. Rather than blindly follow influencers like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate who may resemble more the mixed bag stereotype of Samson we've been taught, Dr. Anderson teaches that Christian young men should see the Biblical Samson himself as a better role model.Dr. Owen Anderson:Dr. Owen Anderson's personal website [media appearances]Christ the King Reformed ChurchArizona State University profileDr. A's SubstackDr. Owen Anderson's YouTube channelFox and Friends interview about DEI lawsuit with ASUNewsmax Carl Higbie FRONTLINE interview about DEI lawsuit with ASURobert Kiyosaki interview on The Rich Dad Radio Show about free speech (March 1, 2023)Robert Kiyosaki interview on The Rich Dad Radio Show about free speech (July 26, 2023)Dr. Owen Anderson on PragerU's The Book Club with Michael KnowlesPragerU 5-minute video: The Beginning of WisdomDr. Owen Anderson's Amazon Author page*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.
