Twitter heated up last week when the SBC Executive Committee tweeted a promo about Racial Reconciliation Sunday– a day that has been on the SBC calendar since the 1960’s. Some Southern Baptists read a lot into the day and objected. Today Joe and Jimmy walk through what was said, and call for us all to do better in talking through these issues with one another, rather than talking past one another without understanding.

Augustine’s Confessions | Navigating the Classics
Study the God who gripped Augustine’s soul so completely: https://shop.mediagratiae.org/collections/behold-your-god-series
Augustine is one of the most prolific writers of early Christianity. He is considered one of the most non-canonical theologians in history. His writings and theology are still creating ripples today.
In this episode of Navigating the Classics, Dr. John Snyder and his son Andrew Snyder, walk through Augustine’s seminal work, Confessions. Andrew first read the book in high school, but he has recently read through it as part of his seminary coursework. John has read and been a fan of the book for years.
But for many Christians, Confessions is intimidating. It is long, sometimes dry, and can be easily confusing. Our aim in this prolonged discussion is to remove the mystique surrounding the book and make it as approachable as possible. Our prayer is that this episode will encourage you to check the book out for yourself for the first time or read it again with better preparation.
