Hey everyone, I just want to take a second to invite you to join me this year at Restore

a Faith Matters Gathering happening October 13th and 14th.

It's going to be at the Amount and America Expo Center in Sandy and it promises to be

an exceptional conference.

I attended last fall and found it to be a remarkably inspiring, hopeful two days of listening

to really well-prepared, thoughtful talks as well as inspiring music and really feeling

a deep connection with my other Latter-day Saint brothers and sisters around me in our

shared desire to speak to the best in our faith and to speak to one another and find a sense

of connection.

I'm also going to be one of the people speaking.

I'll be speaking a bit about eros energy and its connection to spirituality and to the

light of Christ.

And so I hope to see you all there.

Hey everyone, this is Tim Chavez from Faith Matters.

For today's episode, we spoke with Christian Heal.

BYU's Maxwell Institute has just released an amazing new volume of research called

Ancient Christians that offers remarkable insights into Christianity's earliest centuries.

It's intended for Latter-day Saints, but based on the best scholarship available to give

us a glimpse into what these ancient Christians believed, how they worshipped, and the ways in

which they saw and experienced the world.

Christian Heal was one of the editors of this volume and wrote the chapter that we spoke

with him about called Preaching Christ.
