conversations about God

Faith on the Go podcast is a recap of the re-readings, gospel, and sermon by Pastor John Norquist of Faith Lutheran Church in Cedarburg, Wisconsin from the previous Sunday as well as mid-week Faith Fill-ups to get you through the rest of the week (coming soon).

A podcast dedicated to equipping believers to live out their faith on the frontlines through meaningful conversations on ministry, missions, society, and doctrine, hosted by Missionary John David Williams and Pastor Landon Street.

Our freedom of conscience and religion is being challenged by laws and regulations being imposed by secular society. Deacon Mike Manno and Gina Noll talk to the top Christian litigators in the nation who have come forward to tell the truth and help defend our faith.

Today we tend to separate questions of logic from questions of belief, philosophy from religion, reason from faith. But for 1,000 years during a pivotal era of Western thought, reason and faith went hand-in-hand in the search for answers to the most profound issues investigated by Christianity's most committed scholars.

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. They must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith. The subject of this book—religions and ethics—is good ground for him to build on: The Jewish contribution to ethics is distinctly rational and has a long and illustrious tradition. Moral philosophy is after all a Jewish preoccupation.

Science is the supreme authority in our culture. Science speaks so authoritatively in our culture that many are tempted to use its clout to back claims that go beyond the available evidence. How can we identify when such ideological sleight of hand has taken place? This wedge of truth does not “wedge out” a necessary foundation of rational thought. But it does “wedge in” the much-needed acknowledgment that reason encompasses more than mere scientific investigation.
