Today we launch a new feature of Doctrine and Devotion, Holy Conference. Holy Conference will be a recurring interview segment with a brother or sister in Christ about what God has taught them or worked in them. Today, we talk with our man, Dr. Paul Maxwell, about what some people call the “dark night of the soul.” You can also go back and listen to Jimmy, Joe, and Paul talk about masculinity on a previous episode here. Paul is the man behind Selfwire, where Paul engages modern intellectual issues from a conservative Christian perspective. Be sure to subscribe to the Selfwire Podcast and his Youtube channel. OUR SPONSOR Logos Bible Software has just released Logos 8, the newest version of the best Bible study software available.

Here we go again, on our own. Going down the only road we’ve ever known. Or something like that. The guys discuss the 10 commandments, again, thinking through their value and why Christians should be very familiar with them.

Joe surprises Jimmy with an unplanned topic to discuss. The guys revisit “friendship” and talk through what brings people together to be friends. Do “opposites” make for good friends? What are the important connection points among friends? How do we cultivate new friendships and evaluate our current friendships?
