Summary

Gospel Simplicity: “Hold up, did someone say we become GOD?? If you’re like me, the first time you heard this, you were a bit concerned. As an evangelical, the concept of theosis can seem more than a bit foreign. In this video with Orthodox apologist Jay Dyer, we talk about what theosis is (and isn’t) and in doing so we explore differences between Eastern and Western approaches to theology. The conversation includes discussion of the essence-energies distinction, monasticism, ways in which Protestants and Orthodox are similar (and different) and much more. I hope you enjoy it!”

0:00.0	Hey everyone, what is up? Welcome or welcome back to my channel. My name is Austin. This is Gospel Simplicity,
0:04.4	and I'm so glad that you're here today. Here on this channel, we make videos about biblical and
0:08.8	theological topics with guests from across the Christian tradition. And if you're enjoying them,
0:14.1	and you haven't yet already, I'd really encourage you to hit subscribe to become a part of this community.
0:19.1	And if you don't want to miss any future videos,
0:21.1	be sure to hit the notification bell as well to be in the loop. Today I'll be interviewing
0:26.1	orthodox apologist Jay Dyer. Now, Jay has to be one of the most requested guests I've had on my
0:32.6	channel, but simultaneously one of the more, I don't know if controversial is the right word, but anytime
0:38.6	someone says, you know, hey, you've got to interview Jay, there's a bunch of people that say,
0:42.1	yes, yes, yes, and then there's some people that say, no. And I understand that from some past
0:47.3	videos, perhaps, that people have seen, they're wary of having him on the channel. I get that,
0:53.6	I hear that, and I appreciate all of your input.
0:56.1	There's a couple of things I want to say. First, I think you're going to find this video
0:59.3	remarkably uncontroversial. It's not my style to make my videos needlessly controversial,
1:06.1	and I thought this conversation was pretty cordial, and I think you're really going to enjoy it.
1:09.8	There's a lot of good substance here. The second thing I want to say is that as I was reflecting on, you know, do I want to
1:15.3	do this interview? He had reached out, saw one of my videos, we got in touch and we started talking
1:19.7	about doing a video and I was trying to sift through everyone's valuable feedback they had given
1:24.3	me that I really appreciated. I was struck by this idea. You know,
1:33.7	the motto of this channel is love across the lines. We engage with people who disagree with us and are different than us here. And in order to do that, you can't just engage with people who
1:38.8	look like you, think like you, believe like you. Oftentimes we have people from across the
1:42.9	Christian tradition that might
