The Death of Expertise with Terry Feix

Has America lost faith in expertise? Tom Nichols argues that we have in a really important article, "How America Lost Faith in Expertise." It turns out those who know the least are often the most confident about their opinions. What effects has the lack of respect for expertise had on politics, foreign policy, and religion? And what does it mean to be an expert in Christianity? We discuss these questions and more on this week's episode.

The Book of James with Terry Feix

James is a really practical book - the Proverbs of the New Testament. It's full of wisdom, conviction, and advice, but it also has some difficult passages on faith and works, favoritism, and taming the tongue. Although it's one of the most popular books in the Bible, it's one of the hardest to put into practice. We talk through how to read and study James in this week's episode.
