Vince discusses science, miracles, and resurrection—as well as his personal story of coming to faith at college—in this talk delivered to students at Stanford University.

Do you ever feel frustrated with superficial conversation, but you’re unsure how to go deeper with others or even what questions to ask? Do you find it awkward trying to share your faith with those who see the world differently? In this first episode of a two part Ask Away podcast on “the spiritual discipline of conversation", Jo and Vince offer four simple, practical tips for engaging with others in a way that will hopefully lead to more meaningful, life-giving conversations with the people around you.

Recently we’ve had a number of questions come in around the topic of what God’s judgment of humanity reveals about his character—specifically, whether there is a contradiction between the claim that God loves us and the fact that he nevertheless judges us. This is a question that Jo personally struggled with in her early 20's when she was working on a Masters in Biblical Interpretation, so I’m grateful that you’ll have the chance to hear some of her reflections on this topic through a talk that she gave last month titled, “How could a loving God judge us?”

If God wants to be known, why isn’t He more obvious? This week Jo and Vince respond to a listener who submitted the following question: “Why isn’t God more clear in revealing Himself, in His motives, in His character, in His morality? If He wants to have a relationship with people and loves them, why doesn’t God reveal Himself more plainly or at least provide fewer barriers that need to be overcome to believe in Him?”

This week we are sharing with you an ‘Ask Anything’ event that we did last week at Bay Area Community Church in Annapolis, where the audience were asking a whole range of important questions such as "How do I know God’s will?", How can God bring good out of bad?", and "What happens to those who never get to hear about Jesus?" It was a moving time together, especially when a ten-year-old girl strained on her tippy toes to reach the microphone, intent on asking her heartfelt question.

In this episode, you'll be hearing a talk that Vince gave a few months back at the Relational Wisdom Conference in Montana titled 'What is a biblical approach to disagreement?'

We hope this episode helps you approach disagreement with less fear and with a far greater expectation for how loving, respectful dialogue can deepen relationships (even when we're engaging on the most culturally contentious of topics).
