Alexis Waggoner, Director of Marketing and Digital Education at the Westar Institute, is on to talk about raising the intellectual bar in the church (while lowering it in the academy). First, you’ll hear about how her academic interests impacted her coming back to Christianity, how growing up in a more conservative setting she was told what to believe rather than how to believe, the experience of growing up in a military family and how that affected her faith, being a chaplain in the military and how that shapes her understanding of herself and her faith, and the questions and thinkers the church needs to wrestle with. Plus, Alexis shares some of the more annoying things her progressive friends say and believe about the military, and the questions and doubts about the faith she received. The Westar Institute Foundational Classics Giveaway is almost over! Make sure you enter by the end of March 31st to get a chance to win an awesome stack of books by some very zesty authors, including Catherine Keller, Jack Caputo, John Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg, and more! If you’ve already entered, make sure you keep sharing – the more you share, the better your chances of winning!
