Is our nation more divided than ever? Are we losing the ability to respectfully disagree with each other?

Welcome to our first ever bonus episode: Chump Talk. In these episodes, we'll tackle larger ideas and themes in the culture and talk to even cooler guests.

(Don't worry though, we'll be right back with your church history fix next week)

This week, John and Tom are joined by Jacob Hjortman, a beloved Swedish podcaster (and dear friend of John's) who has devoted his platform to setting the table for people from different views to sit and respectfully converse together.

We talk about the fear that we often feel in conflict, and how to navigate that fear as believers and peacemakers.

Join us as we talk about the art of awkward pauses, Finnish church culture, and a lot more.

If you speak Swedish, you can check out Jacob's podcast here.

If you speak English, you should listen to our podcast, right now!

Have you ever heard someone say that Christianity is anti-intellectual?

Well, you should send them this episode. And have them 'like' and 'subscribe' too, that would help us a lot.

But anyways. Justin Martyr was a 2nd-century Greek man with a love for philosophy, who found the fullness of all love of wisdom in Christ. We think he's a pretty cool guy.

And today we're joined by another pretty cool guy, friend of the show Jacob Lewis. Join John and Jacob as they wax philosophically about, well, philosophy.

As you guys know, we love presenting church history as a beautiful anthology of the story of God's people. Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the vastness of that story when we don't venture out of our own contexts.

So today, we're going to peer to the far outside branches of our Christian family tree, and discuss the origin of one of the most longstanding Christian traditions in the world: the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

To any Ethiopian (or otherwise East African) listeners, please forgive all of my flaws and mistakes, and feel free to let us know how to pronounce things properly.

Thanks for being here.
