Describe Your World: Recent Episodes
Travis Grooms
This podcast is an exploration of the self as well as the world around it. Guests discuss origin stories, coming-of-age experiences, and their perception of the world. Topics may very, but the goal remains the same - stimulating dialogue and deeper understanding of this life are crucial to progress.
In this new series, guests and I explore evidence for the Christian God in relation to science, other religious beliefs, and personal experiences. Each conversation is unique and, hopefully, helpful for anyone on the journey of faith, curious about Christianity, or simply entertained by two finite humans struggling with complex (and often unknowable) topics.
Part I finds author Justin Wiggins, formerly agnostic, detailing his journey from questions and doubt to confidence in Christ. We lightly tread a few common philosophical questions, compare personal experience with early Christine doctrine, and admire the evidence for Christ in art, literature, and the "sehnsucht" or longing for purpose and a new life in faith.
Justin Wiggins is the author of eight books, including: Surprised by Agape Surprised by Myth Celtic Dawn Celtic Song Celtic Twilight Marty & Irene Tír na nÓg Ragnarok
