Sometimes when you double-click on the acoustic guitar player he breaks into a perichoretic dance. Nice job, Chris—talking about all the stuff that’s central to so much of the ministry we’ve done together through the years. Rock on with yer bad self.
Thank you Chris for the reminder that my talents are reflections of and gifts from God.
Good questions and answers regarding the issue of sacred vs secular.
Thanks, Chris! Great to hear your thoughts, spoken with wisdom and humility.
I really enjoyed this light-hearted exchange that expresses deep truths of God and how we are creative only because we reflect the creativity of Our Father whether it be in music, or engineering, or housewifery. I would like to hear more. Thank you.
Thank you for having my friend, Chris, on the show! It was a great conversation between two Christian brothers. The WWI armistice section was enlightening as well. Looking forward to more podcasts like this!
Thank you Ben. Chris was an outstanding guest. Today’s guest, my pastor Mike Drury is another good one. Hope you’ll give a listen.
Great discussion! I was glad to hear Chris bring up Paul at the Areopagus, which is a great reminder that all things belong to God, including the pagan poems that Paul quoted to the Greeks there. Pagans have only stolen from God and His Kingdom, it is our job as Christians to reclaim those things and reorient them. Would be great to hear more about the implications of this, and not only with art, but also with economics, politics, etc.
Ditto.
This podcast has many tidbits from a variety of interesting topics. It’s encouraging to hear men who are passionate about the expansion of the Kingdom on earth. I also think Chris might do well to start a podcast of his own, to expand on these and similar subjects.
I really enjoyed this podcast with Chris Whittington. I loved the tidbits on variety of subjects including Paul at Areopagus. It was a great reminder that all things belong to God. I enjoyed the easy exchange between the two of you and can’t wait to hear Chris be a guest again. Would love to hear more. 🙂
