Dr. Russell Moore joins the podcast to speak with Tim and Rick on issues and scandals in our cultural moment that erode trust in Christian leaders and instill cynicism toward the Church and the claims of the Christian faith.
Tim’s newest book, Eyes To See: Recognizing God’s Common Grace in an Unsettled World, is out. Rick and Tim take up the book’s theme of common grace and consider how it impacts topics and issues around winsome conviction.
What do fellow believers think of you? What do non-believers think of you and your church? Ecclesiastes 7:11 says that “a good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume.” Watch or listen to Tim Muehlhoff’s sermon as he shares the importance of a godly reputation during today’s argument culture.
Christianity Today posted their annual list of top books that are “most likely to shape evangelical life, thought, and culture.” We are honored that Winsome Conviction: Disagreeing without Dividing the Church won the Award of Merit in the category of Church and Pastoral Leadership.
Tim and Rick continue the conversation with Dr. Theon Hill on the topic of radical rhetoric, and they press into the role of rhetoric in contentious issues such as critical race theory.
In the secular college environment where he studied, Tim Muehlhoff could have easily been marginalized for his Christian faith. Instead, he realized he didn’t just want to proclaim biblical truth, he wanted to have a conversation about it.
Tim and Rick resume the conversation with Quentin Schultze on listening. Manner matters in communication, and they discuss how the habit of giving thanks affects how we communicate with others.
Why is listening so difficult? In today’s argument culture, listening is especially difficult, and it often seems as if we have an incapacity to listen.
