What Do We Mean By 'Progressive' and 'Conservative'?

from Good Faith · host The Dispatch

We toss around words like "conservative" and "progressive" without really understanding – or agreeing on – the meaning of these terms.   This week, David and Curtis discuss how these labels simply don't work when applied across both theology and politics. How is the equivocation surrounding these terms misleading and therefore damaging to Christian discourse? Can politics be used as a proxy for faithfulness? If so, when? Join David and Curtis as they dive deeper into the word "progressive" and "conservative" and attempt to provide clarity on this common, important conversational terminology. Show Notes: Check out Curtis's course on the theology of institutions, called God's Purpose for Your Organizational Life (free to Good Faith listeners).

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
