This week we end our special episodes publishing the interviews from Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically. We chose to end these with Paul Washer. In the concluding part of his interview, Paul points out the necessity of making the realities of God more than mere head knowledge. The truths of God and the Christian life must be applied. It is dangerous to have the head knowledge of Jonathan Edwards without also having his heart.
We pray these special episodes have been a blessing to you. If you want to see the study they came from, you can view that at the link below. If you have already gone through the study, we pray and hope these interviews have reminded you of the truths you wrestled with during those 12 weeks.
