Reclaiming the Thrill of Orthodoxy with Trevin Wax

Truth Over Tribe: Christian Takes on Culture, News & Politics

The average evangelical is thoroughly postmodern. Don’t believe us? Let’s look at the stats: 56% of today’s evangelicals hold universalist views of God. 43% believe that while Jesus was a great teacher, he wasn’t God himself. And 38% believe that religious belief is a matter of personal opinion more than objective truth. So, if we’re so divided over our primary truths, why do we spend most of our time arguing over secondary issues? Trevin Wax, author of The Thrill of Orthodoxy, joins us on the pod today to explain the church’s need for some orthodoxical triage and why Christians must return to the essentials of the faith and be united through these core beliefs. Hear him discuss with Patrick: Is doctrine really all that practical? Can a prioritization of doctrine and personal piety coexist? Why should we care more about doctrine? Where should people who haven’t taken doctrine seriously even start? What should churches be doing to reclaim the thrill of orthodoxy? Listen now!
