We are joined by Oxford University Scholar Max Baker-Hytch as he discusses ho to integrate your faith and your academic study. Max joined Wycliffe Hall in 2016 having completed a D.Phil. in Philosophy at Oxford University in 2014 with a dissertation which examined the philosophical implications of recent accounts of the causal origins of religious belief. He subsequently went on to hold a postdoctoral research fellowship at Oxford as part of the Templeton-funded 'New Insights and Directions in Religious Epistemology' project. He then held a research fellowship at the University of Notre Dame's Center for Philosophy of Religion, before returning to Oxford. Max's research interests lie at the intersection of analytic philosophy of religion and epistemology, and he has published on such topics as divine hiddenness, religious diversity, etiological challenges to moral and religious beliefs, the nature of rationality and knowledge, and methodological issues concerning the emerging field of analytic theology.

Some of us have a tough relationship with our fathers. This week Andy Albertini gives us some insights on how to redeem that view of God as a loving father for those who may not see Him that way.
Evolutionary science teaches that humans arose as a population, sharing common ancestors with other animals. Most readers of the book of Genesis in the past understood all humans descended from Adam and Eve, a couple specially created by God. These two teachings seem contradictory, but is that necessarily so? In the fractured conversation of human origins, can new insight guide us to solid ground in both science and theology? In The Genealogical Adam and Eve, S. Joshua Swamidass tests a scientific hypothesis: What if the traditional account is somehow true, with the origins of Adam and Eve taking place alongside evolution?
Join us as we discuss the virtue of chastity.

Change, contrary to popular belief is not a constant. It is very much a variable. The velocity of change is growing at an exponential rate. Just when you think you have it nailed down to a predictable formula, it takes a giant leap forward.
66% of change efforts fail. The way we make decisions is at least partly to blame.
In this episode we talk about using an ancient Quaker Clearness Committee to gain clarity in our lives.
