148 - Grinding Down Our Golden Calf

Unbinding the Bible

Taking our cues from Moses' actions in Exodus 32, we'll spend the next several episodes asking ourselves, "Which deeply held beliefs of ours are rooted in a power-over understanding of God?" It might be hard to detect at times, but we need to probe deeply into the things we believe so we can best represent our God as the power-under, compassionate, servant-like God that he is, revealed most perfectly of course in the person of Jesus Christ. In this episode, we’ll talk about abortion. I quoted Ben Cremer several times in this episode. He has a weekly newsletter you can sign up to receive filled with thoughtful reflections on how the Christian faith intersects with politics and culture.
