"A Cloud of Witnesses" featuring Jacob: Doubt, Part 3 | Episode 11

NOTES/CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS/ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS: •Quotes: •"Doubt is a key aspect in faith." - Jacob •"One of the side effects that we will see from the deconstructions of late is that it will force the church to have these conversations, and it will force us to realize that we were never meant to answer these questions in a silo. We were always meant to answer these questions in a community." - Jacob •"We should be celebrating diversity on secondary issues." - Jacob •"Theological conviction plus religious liberty equals denomination." - Sidney Mead •"When I say we need to have Christian unity, Christian humility, and Christian love, I am not saying we need to water down the gospel." -Jacob •"One of the ways that Christians look like the world, more than anything else, in any other secondary or tertiary doctrine, is division. We do a remarkable job of joining the world in making our own tribes." - Emily •"When you have a strong theological conviction on the orthodox issues, then the secondary issues don't drive you to a crisis, they drive you to this freedom and awe at the wonder of who God is." - Jacob •"Be renewed in your mind, but not at the expense of the renewal of your heart." - Jacob •"When I talk to someone who believes something different than me, it's not a threat against my truth." - Jacob --------- RESOURCES: •Jacob's Instagram: @awriterandtheword •"God in the Dark" by Os Guinness --------- VERSES ALLUDED TO/REFERENCED: •Mark 2:1-12 •Psalm 86:11 •I Corinthians 15:14 •Romans 12:2, 9-21 •I Corinthians 8 •Hebrews 12:1 •I Corinthians 15:55-58 --------- TERMS USED: •Calvinism •Arminianism •Doctrines of Grace •Classical Theism •Orthodox truths/Christianity •Nicene Creed •Church catholic •Liturgy --------- CREDITS & CONTACT: Intro/Outro Music: "Lens Flare" by Peter Sandberg via Epidemic Sound Middle Music: "I Deserve Better" by Spring Gang and "Choose" by Mindme via Epidemic Sound Facebook: facebook.com/helloemilyurban Twitter: @helloemilyurban Instagram: @helloemilyurban Patreon: patreon.com/helloemilyurban Website: emilyurban.com Please send any questions or concerns you may have regarding this episode to me via the contact form on my website, or send me a voice memo via Facebook or Instagram!
