Through Theology in a Year with C Michael Patton - 9: Don't Be a Folk Theologian 4

In this episode, titled "Folk Theology 3," we delve into the passage in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them," and explore the common misconceptions surrounding this verse in folk theology, particularly within the context of prayer. We'll discuss how these misunderstandings can shape our approach to prayer and examine prayer itself as a reflection of our theology. Additionally, we'll continue our discussion on incorrect views of heaven and address the notion of whether God is a cosmic vending machine, analyzing how these ideas can distort our faith and understanding of God.
