Fear & Reverence Oriented ft. Oscar Carmona

In light of COVID-19, what should fear in life look like? Out of fear should we sacrifice our freedoms for security? Is there such a thing as a healthy sense of fear? What does the Bible, in particular, 1 John 4:18 and Proverbs 9:10 have to say, and are do they contradict each other?  We answer all these questions in this episode.

Epistemology: Jesus & Pilate

Epistemology is one of the four perennial philosophical questions(metaphysics, epistemology, philosophical anthropology, and ethics.) Metaphysics: what is? What's real? Epistemology: How can we know what is real or most real?  Anthropology: Who are we? "Know thyself." Ethics: What should we be, how should we live, and to be more real? Jesus is the key to these four philosophical questions.
