Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb and I'm joined by Dr. Rod Rosenblot,

Dr. Scott Keith, Dr. Adam Francisco and a guest today, Dr. Jeff Malinson.

Dr. Malinson has been on the show in the past. He's been on in a couple of series. He came on

during the apologetics series. He came on during the Lochi series. You've done a guest episode on

Virtue in the Wasteland on this show.

Augustine.

You talked about Augustine.

You kicked off the great thinkers of the Christian faith series with us on Augustin.

There's an episode coming out with you on it on Calvin.

You'll also join us for Beza.

But today, we're talking about Soin Kierkegaard and thought it'd be a great opportunity to have you on

the show because when I went to Christ Holdfest Dallas, you opened that with a prayer from Kierkegaard

and you're kind of interested in studying him. So we thought, you know, let's let's let Jeff come on

and rock the show one more time. He's got a lot of interesting prayers.

Glad to be here.

Thank you.

One of them, I think, is the one I must have used, which is, oh, God, teach me not to torture myself,

not to make a martyr out of myself through stifling reflection, but teach me to deep,

to breathe deeply in faith.

Part of what I think is interesting about Kierkegaard's life and his work

is that, kind of like the Stoics,

you get a sense that he's battling his demons in the context of his scholarship.
