Why I Am (Still) a Christian (Re-broadcast)

b'*Re-broadcast* - Why I Am (Still) a Christian (#60)\\n\\nI\\u2019m joined by my dear friend Ben Bishop, who is both a fantastic interviewer in his own right and a former patron-only episode guest. I asked Ben to interview me on the topic of why I am (still) a Christian. No one ever asks me, \\u201cWhy are you a Christian?\\u201d Or very rarely, anyway. But pretty regularly, in the context of conversations about deconstruction or Biblical inerrancy or something similar, people will ask, \\u201cWhy are you *still* a Christian?\\u201d I thought it might be helpful to answer that and give one more data point for listeners as they figure out their own faith allegiances, theologies, etc. We talk about religious/Christian pluralism a good bit, as that is particularly interesting to Ben, and toward the end is when I give probably my most succinct answer to the question, drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord\\u2019s Prayer, and other basics I don\\u2019t think I could live without. Feel free to skip forward to 1 hour or so if you want to hear that concise answer before going into the weeds with us.\\n\\nFollow Dan on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dancoke/\\n\\nEdited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)\\nJoin the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankoch\\nEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.com\\nYHP Patron-only FB group: https://tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98\\nWebsite: youhavepermissionpod.com\\nJoin Dan\'s email list: dankochwords.com\\nArtwork by http://sprungle.co/\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
