In this engaging conversation, Mike and Tim welcome back long time friend and scholar Dr. Timothy Gombis to discuss a variety of topics ranging from personal anecdotes about driving and family life to deeper discussions on biblical interpretation and its relevance to social justice. Gombis shares insights from his teaching experiences and the importance of maintaining a balanced life while engaging in academic pursuits. The conversation also touches on the historical context of biblical interpretation and its implications for contemporary issues. Further, everyone discusses the importance of understanding historical context in scripture, the transformative nature of reading the Bible, and the concept of cruciformity. They explore how curiosity about biblical figures can lead to deeper insights and the challenges of navigating difficult conversations within the Christian community.
