Kia Ora 2’s & 3’s
What a remarkable privilege this Podcast was! We had the profound, poignant and vastly professionally experienced Mark Powell join us for an interview today:
• Former CEO of “The Warehouse Group” NZ
• Masters of Apologetics via Biola University, USA
• Now Lecturer of Apologetics at Carey Baptist College, Auckland
• Former Adjunct Professor at Massey Business School, Auckland Business School
• Executive Positions on a series of Boards across NZ & Australia
We had an in depth discussion concerning apologetics and evangelism in the 21st Century. Much of Mark’s thinking in both business and theology come down to similar epistemic questions- what do we believe to be true? His consistent belief is that all orthopraxis/pathy/doxy stems from this ultimately. We also had ample opportunity to discuss the strawman perspective of ‘Christianity being against the accumulation of wealth,’ critiquing both common assumptions and some of the more complex thinking that underlies it at the worldview level.
Mark possesses that skill of a profound economy of words where he can say a multitude of probing and dissecting things with a measured succinctness. As such, there is so much more here that just the time taken itself that I think will help your faith in Christ weigh in the heady topics mentioned above in practical ways.
As always, we look forward to your engagement!
God Bless you,
J, C, T & C.
