Jimmy and Joe sit down to talk through Christian mysticism. What is Christian mysticism, and is it dangerous? Even when wrong, is Christian mysticism trying to emphasize something many Christians miss? On this episode we recommend Henry Scougal's The Life of God in the Soul of Man and point listeners back to our conversation with Don Whitney on Fasting and Fountain Pens. Plus, would you like to hear the guys' wives sit down to record a podcast? If so hit them up on Facebook and let 'em know. #docanddivaSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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.
