We talk about moving from children’s ministry controlling behaviour to fostering relational discipleship. The importance of “holy curiosity” and how to create a ministry environment where kids develop a lasting love for Jesus.\nFinally, they dive into Mark Noll’s classic work, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, and its exploration of evangelical thought leadership. They discuss how the evangelical community has excelled in certain areas but has often lacked intellectual engagement in fields like business, biology, and economics, and how fundamentalism and Enlightenment thinking have shaped this.\n00:00 Intro\n01:42 Tim's running app, Adidas/Puma split, football chat\n21:37 A relational model becomes more attractive to children in the long term\n44:14 The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind and integrating evangelical thinking\n54:34 Have Christians become more nuanced?\nDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE\n\n1954 World Cup Final\n1974 World Cup Final\nSC Freiburg\n2001 FA Cup Final\nSt. Pauli sausage train\nExplaining the Bundesliga's 50+1 rule\nWhy RB Leipzig is the most hated soccer team in the Bundesliga\nThe issues with multi-club ownership\nThomas Piketty and the decline of football\nChildren’s Ministry and the Spiritual Child, by Robin Turner & Trevecca Okholm\nThe Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, by Mark A.
