Before We Speak: Why So Many Have Stopped Listening to the Church
Note sull'episodio
Episode Description
Why have so many stopped listening to the church?
We often answer that question by pointing to culture, politics, or growing secularism. But what if Scripture invites us to ask a different question?
In this episode of Acts 17: The Quiet Way, we explore Paul's visit to Athens in Acts 17 and discover a different vision of Christian witness. Before Paul proclaimed Christ, he walked through the city. He observed. He listened. He even quoted the Greek poets before sharing the gospel.
Along the way, we'll reflect on the wisdom of Proverbs and James, Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman, and why the contemplative tradition has transformed the way I understand faith, listening, and the public square.
Perhaps faithful witness begins not by winning arguments, but by paying attention.
