0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Hope everyone is having a great day, a great week so far. |
0:16.5 | Today I am talking to Andrew Walker. He is a Christian ethics professor. He also worked |
0:24.3 | at World Magazine where I also write. He is an associate dean at the School of Theology |
0:31.3 | at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary as well and he has so much wisdom when it comes to |
0:38.8 | Christian ethics and how Christians should be engaging with the culture and with the political |
0:46.1 | realm. And so he's going to tell us today how do we balance not trusting too much in politics and |

2:02.6 | talk about? You're a professor so that obviously puts you in front of an audience but now you have |
2:08.0 | a pretty large audience. So how did you come into this world of political and cultural public commentary? |
2:15.4 | That's a good question. I would say it's almost a result of there just being very few people |
2:23.5 | willing to step into the arena. You know, Ali, I know you know this when you hear the statistics about |
2:29.1 | millennials and kind of the bad state of their biblical theological literacy and they're willing |
2:36.7 | this to step into the arena. What that ends up doing is creating a smaller number of people who |
