Hey, friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology and Rob. My guest today is Dr. Kelly KPEC,

who is a professor of theological studies at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.

He's an author, editor of more than 15 books, including Your Only Human, Embodied Hope,

which won a Christianity Today Book of the Year award and the recently released 40-day

devotional, You Were Never Meant to Do It

All.

Kelly talks a lot about the finitude of being human, which is what we talk about today.

We first of all, we begin by talking about original sin, John Owen and same-sex attraction.

That was not planned.

It just kind of came up.

And then we dive deep into embracing our human limitations in a world that is trying to prod us on to do more and more and more and more.

Really enjoyed this conversation.

I think you will as well.

So please welcome back to the show, the one and only, Dr. Kelly Kippek.

Hey, Kelly, how are you doing this morning? Oh, it's so good to be with you. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, I think this is at least number two, if not three. It's been a while, yeah.

Virtually, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where are you tuning in from again? You're out in Chattanooga?

Yeah, Covenant College on Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Actually, they're doing work in my building,

so I'm in the library right now, which is hilarious. They give me a lounge, which is nice. I've been there once. I remember seeing,

like, Lookout Mountain is an actual lookout mountain, right? Like overshadows the town.

Yeah. And there's a, you know, anyone from this region, my wife and I are from California, but for

decades, they'd have these signs everywhere within hundreds of miles called Sea Rock City.
