About this listen
Description:
Edward was a genius who taught himself Greek and Hebrew, yet he was one of the loneliest men alive. Why? Because he became a "Slave to Knowledge."
In this deep dive, we explore the danger of using intellect as a fortress against vulnerability. We distinguish between knowing about love and actually doing it. The journey takes a heartbreaking turn as Peter breaks down on the way to the hospital, crying out, "Why again?" This honest lament introduces us to the "Peace of Paradox"—the outstanding Christian ability to find joy in suffering and peace in uncertainty.
Finally, we tackle Thomas’s brilliant question: If God exists, why is He so hidden? The answer reframes the entire universe from a courtroom of evidence to a space of invitation.
In this episode:
- The Slavery of Knowledge: When being smart leaves you alone.
- Declarative vs. Procedural: Why you can't learn love from a book.
- The Honest Cry: Peter’s raw moment of fear in the car.
- Divine Hiddenness: Why God gives us space to choose Him.
- The Paralytic Man: Jesus meeting our deepest need first.
