Ep. 8 – The Origin of Evil

In Modern Relevance of God, Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

So far in our series, we’ve been looking at the nature of life and God, and how that knowledge has been pushed aside from our daily considerations and from scientific inquiry, obviously.

A Study of Temptation

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

I'm Richard Lloyd Jones, and this is Thinking with Somebody Else's Head. Temptation. Like most religious words, that one's been banalized and reduced from its original meaning. It means literally a trial or a test. A moment in your life when you have a choice to be faithful or not. Today, that's like faithful to

Freedom and Leadership

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

Take a look around at the critical situations facing we human beings, and it's sobering. Maybe that's why most of us don't like looking too closely. It becomes overwhelming. "Can't you talk about something else," is how my mother often phrases this sense of overwhelm. The implication being that not talking about it makes it
