Dia-Logos Podcast - Ep 5 - Faith, War, and the Red Rose

Loading player...
What is the difference between studying the theory of faith and actually experiencing it on the front lines?

In this episode of the Dia-Logos podcast, host Brad Kirsten sits down with Mike Burnard, analytical strategist for Dia-Logos, to discuss his frequent travels to conflict zones in Lebanon and Syria. Through the lens of a famous philosophical thought experiment called "Mary's Room," Mike challenges the church to stop merely theologizing about God's faithfulness and to start experiencing it firsthand.
