Thinking Fellows

The Thinking Fellows are live from the Here We Still Stand regional event in North West Arkansas. Bob Hiller and John Moffit join Caleb and Scott Keith.

Jennifer Roback Morse joins the Thinking Fellows to discuss the sexual revolution. Jennifer is the founder and president of the Ruth Institute and has authored several books concerning the consequences of the sexual revolution. This conversation helps reveal that the sexual revolution is more than the normalization of hypersexualized behavior. Instead, the sexual revolution is a combination of worldviews that have negatively impacted us all.

The Thinking Fellows discuss the doctrine of God. Who is God? is a foundational question that every major thinker and religion has attempted to answer. What is truly amazing is that we do not need to speculate about who God is. Instead, God reveals himself to us through His Word and lets us know exactly who he is and what he has done for us.

Scripture is the source of Christian theology. What do we mean by Scripture, and what does it mean to have a norm? The Thinking Fellows discuss how proper theology is not speculative or originating from personal revelation, but is instead from the font of the prophetic and apostolic books of the Old and New Testament.

Caleb Keith, Adam Francisco, and Bruce Hilman address the opinion that Roman Catholics are not Christians. The fellows conclude that Roman Catholics are not by necessity excluded from saving faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This leads to a conversation about how specific confessions and denominations are still necessary, even if affiliation with the correct group is not the sole indicator of saving faith.

The Thinking Fellows get together and discuss how the concept of three ordered estates helps inform Christians in living out their vocations. Why do we so often focus on the political estate while skipping over the family and the church when talking about the problems in our world? The Fellows propose ideas as to how to apply an understanding of the estates in your life.
