The Stages of Faith
Kyle, Doc, and Brian sit down to unpack Brian’s recent conversation with Dr. Jim Reiter about The Critical Journey, one way to describe our spiritual adventure.
It’s a passionate and animated dialogue, and it covers three main questions:
1. If modern church institutions help us prepare and walk through the first three stages of our discipleship but don’t help or guide us into the last three, what is the impact of that void on individuals, the church, and culture? How does it impact The Great Omission?
2. There have been several recent high-profile celebrity pastor scandals in the U.S. These men preached the Gospel and claimed biblical accuracy for decades. What does that say about “being right” compared to “being formed”?
3. Jim brought up the spiritual discipline of “cinema divina” (and Kyle happily jumped out of his seat). What does it mean to look for Jesus’ speaking to the world through means many consider “secular” or “bad”?
Lots of good material to discuss, debate, and argue with your friends!
This episode continues the discussion from Ep 98.
