Series: Interview with Nancy Pearcey
Nancy Pearcey
“The heart is what we use for religion, the brain for science.” This idea is commonly accepted today. How, then, do we teach young people to love God with all their minds if their minds don’t belong in theology?
Christians often limit Christianity to the sacred realm, things like Bible study, church and prayer, but don’t see its relevance to leisure, politics or work. And this is a problem globally as Western missions have taken the split around world. People are hungry for something that applies to all of life.
In this interview series bestselling author Nancy Pearcey highlights modern challenges Christians face in taking the Gospel to the world.
