Whether you are finding yourself over-invested in or completely jaded by the drama of American politics, this is the episode for you. Bill Haslam is the former Mayor of Knoxville and Governor of Tennessee and the author of “Faithful Presence and the Peril of Faith in the Public Square.” For Governor Haslam, the work of the Christian in politics is to exercise faithful presence — neither withdrawing nor assimilating with the broader culture. Haslam offers refreshing, and often surprising insights from his own experience in politics, and invites us to ask “how do we [as Christians] act in a different way [in politics] so that we really are salt and light in the public square?

“Our creativity is better with seasons of rest,” says Kelly Kapic, author of “You’re Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God’s Design and Why That’s Good News” and today’s guest on Working with Dan Doriani.

Our creatureliness, our dependency, and our finitude lead us toward humility, or at least it ought to. Dan and Kelly work through all the implications of being human in this illuminating conversation.

The issue of spiritual abuse in the church is both deeply painful but also relevant. We have heard the stories, listened to the podcasts, and seen or experienced the damage ourselves.
Our guest on this episode is Tom Nelson. The subject of faith and work is very near and dear to Tom’s heart.
