This was a dense one! Dr. Wood adapted his Ph.D. dissertation into one of the most impressive, modern expositions on Maximus the Confessor. Maximus was a later Patristic of the early church and had his hand cut off and tongue cut out for how firmly he held to the logic of saying Jesus is the central logic (read: logos) of everything.
He was incredibly humble while also showcasing that he is an expert on Maximus. What a great guy!

This was a delightful interview for the Begin Again Podcast with David Hayward about the kind of work he does, being people who chose to take the Bible VERY seriously, what a healthy church looks like, having a spirituality not built upon fear, anger, or shame, Bible quotes we are not allowed to talk about in church and so much more.

Dr. Drew Moser is a professor at Taylor University in Indiana, author of The Enneagram of Discernment, father of 5, co-host of Fathoms Podcast, and so much more.
This was a delightful conversation about his book on the Enneagram and how helpful it is, not only to young adults, but to anyone looking for ways to overcome being stuck in their decision-making and how to live a life with more wisdom and discernment. This truly was a joy and it was beyond the shadow of a doubt that Drew knows what he is talking about.

Brad Jersak (www.bradjersak.com) is the Dean of Theology and Culture at St. Stephen's University (https://www.ssu.ca), and November 22nd is the release date of his newest book entitled, "Out of the Embers: Faith After the Great Deconstruction."
He was such a delight to talk with and I believe that his book is one of the best, if not my favorite, on the topic of deconstruction and how absolutely normal it is within the Christian tradition. In this interview we talk through St. John of the Cross, burnout, vulnerability, Moses, how the term "deconstruction" is now a little bit behind us, and how what comes next in Western Christianity might be incredibly exciting.
Enjoy!
