In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages with Tom Oord and Jeff Wells to explore the concept of Open & Relational Theology, questioning traditional views of God's power and the problem of evil. They discuss how this theology presents a God who is not controlling but rather persuasive and loving, emphasizing human agency in co-creating the future. The conversation also addresses the implications of this theology in the context of current events and societal issues, particularly in light of political dynamics and the challenges faced by marginalized communities.
