Summary
John and Shane field a series of thought-provoking questions this week. One listener wrote in asking why Christians are concerned with how people of faith in important positions hold and communicate their theology. Another listener asked an important question about end-of-life care and advanced directives, looking for a Christian worldview thinking structure to hang all of the new technologies and realities we have with life and end-of-life care.
The first question John and Shane fielded was from a professional whose current career may come into a conscience conflict. John and Shane provide strong understanding to stand strong in the culture stream.
