Show Notes:

The quote from Mike Cosper appeared in this interview with Richard Clark.

Daniel took a course with Malcolm Guite, whose books on poetry, language, and the Christian faith are amongst Daniel’s biggest influences. Daniel suggests starting with his book of advent poetry, or his biography of Samual Coleridge.

Daniel listened to the audiobook of Bruce Springsteen’s memoir, Born to Run. Daniel highly recommends it.

What is Assumptions?

Daniel (a Christian) and Kyle (an Atheist) have competing world views and yet remain close friends. Each episode they try to understand each other’s viewpoint by using media to uncover how each interprets the world.
