Is Christianity really about going to heaven when we die? In this episode, I talk with N.T. Wright about a different story - one rooted deeply in Scripture - where the hope of Christianity is not escape from earth, but God coming home to it. pod.link/1566243892

We live in a culture full of certainty. Strong opinions. Quick answers. And somehow, less curiosity than ever. In this conversation with J.R. Briggs, we talk about why questions matter. What if better questions matter more than better answers? pod.link/1566243892
