The Phil Vischer Podcast: Ep 14- Worship Junkies and Misreading Scripture

How our culture often misunderstands both worship and Scripture.

Leadership Journal August 29, 2012

Clive from What’s in the Bible? makes a guest appearance to sing the podcast theme song. The crew discusses Skye’s article on a study finding worship can be chemically addicting, and why mountain top experiences can be bad. Skye and Phil also talk to guest–and Leadership Journal senior editor–Brandon O’Brien about his upcoming book Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes, which discusses our contextual biases when reading scripture. They unpack the parable of the prodigal son and the way different cultures define vices and virtues.
