Paul to Galatians: “Only One Way”
Jim Yoder | Room 109
“Galatian thinking” evaluates Christian life by achievement, merit, and reward, rather than by constant trust in the grace-working of God in Christ. It is prevalent in the churches today as religious legalists have duped Christians with “how-to” Christianity in prescribed procedures, formulas, techniques, and duties that allegedly determine the marks of a true disciple. There is still something of the old legalist in us. We hope to grow deeper in our faith by coming to grips with the question of what real Christian life is like. The answer can be characterized by one word, “liberty.”
AI Christianity
Ryan Hoover | Room 112
The purpose of this class is to learn about the capabilities and impacts of AI on our lives as viewed through a Christian lens. Each week we’ll discuss another domain or application for AI (e.g. medicine, work, family), the benefits, the challenges, and the pitfalls. Our focus will be on how Christians are to properly navigate this age of machines.
The Great Divorce
Gary Laird | Room 111
Sometimes a good book, written by a gifted author, can provide us with an opportunity to reflect and reconsider important matters in our spiritual walk. Such is the case in The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. While most of us are familiar with The Chronicles of Narnia, many are less acquainted with Lewis’ other works of fiction. In The Great Divorce, the author takes us on a bus ride from Hell to Heaven, challenging us to ponder what those places mean to us as Christians. The goal of the glass is to foster discussion of the novel and, as C.S. Lewis states in the preface of the book, “arouse factual curiosity about the details of the after-world.”
