Summary

So… Phil and a Croatian Protestant theologian walk into a bar…. Oh, you’ve heard that one? Author/theologian/Yale professor Miroslav Volf sits down with Phil to talk about Christians in culture and his new book Public Faith in Action: How to Engage with Commitment, Conviction, and Courage. What follows is a fascinating conversation about Volf’s arguments for religion in a globalized world, plus what discourages and encourages him about the North American church today. And how his fountain pen explains his view of God and Creation. He’s a bright guy and it’s a lot of fun! This week on the podcast!

0:00.0	Hey there, it's Phil. Welcome back to the show. This is Phil Vischer podcast. I am here with no one.
0:12.7	Everyone has abandoned me. I'm alone on the set. Christian Taylor had a gig today, so she's down in
0:21.6	the city recording some voiceover for something. And Skyjitani is in South Korea. As we speak,
0:29.4	he tweeted that he was trying to figure out how to use the toilets in South Korea, which apparently
0:35.2	have a lot of buttons and a lot of options. And he's not used to that. He's a simple toilet man
0:41.6	in a complex toilet peninsula. And I'm going to sing the theme song. Hey, it's a podcast. What do you know?
0:48.0	Hey, it's a podcast. And we have video. Hey, it's a podcast. It's a linen ear. The Phil Vischer podcast

1:06.8	podcast starts right here. The Phil Vischer podcast starts right here. Okay, we do have a guest. I'm
1:14.9	not going to do news because there's no banter. I can't banter alone. There's no solo bantering.
1:21.2	So it's not even fun to talk about the news. We could talk about the NFL protests some more. We
1:25.5	could talk about Harvey Weinstein some more. We could talk about all the terrible things that are
1:30.5	going on everywhere. But I'm not going to because I would just be talking to myself. And that's
1:37.4	just not fun. So we'll wait till Sky gets back next week. Is he back next week? This guy back?
1:44.3	We're not even sure. We don't know when he's coming back. What if he gets stranded on the
1:48.4	this is not a good time to be stranded on the Korean Peninsula? Can I just go out on a limb and say
1:52.8	that? We hope he's okay. I have a guest today. We've on and have him on a show for a while.
2:00.9	Mostly because he has a great name. So many people we have on the show just have boring names.
