This is Undaunted Life a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.

0:23.9

Alright guys, today we got a special guest on the podcast. His name is Owen Strand.

0:27.4

He is a provost and research professor of theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary in Arkansas.

0:32.0

He's also the senior fellow with the Family Research Council. He earned his PhD from Trinity Evangelical

Divinity School and his MDiv from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. And he's authored a

0:42.4

bunch of books. I think it's close to two dozen now, including reenchanting humanity, a theology of

1:47.5
