Marvin Olasky is one of my favorite interviewers. I’ve always enjoyed reading the excerpts from his Olasky Interviews series in World Magazine, and hearing him interact with different thinkers and leaders with various perspectives at Patrick Henry College.
Last month, a few days after a winter storm dumped snow all along the East Coast, I visited Patrick Henry College to be part of Olasky’s “Newsmakers” interviews. We discussed the major themes of my book along with other challenging aspects of faithful Christianity in our time.
The full interview is here. Below is a list of the topics we discussed:
- Introduction (6:08)
- The meaning of the title This Is Our Time (6:45)
- Millennials, Maturity, and Marriage (10:20)
- Millennials and Unexamined Assumptions about Identity and Sexuality (17:00)
- How should pastors respond to wrong views of identity? (20:00)
- Churches dealing with cohabitation (23:00)
- Longings and Lies and human sexuality (28:30)
- Parents whose children do not walk with the Lord (34:05)
- State of Christian publishing today (40:00)
- De-centering sexuality (48:00)
- Hope for the future of the church in areas of sexuality (52:55)
- The Benedict Option (58:00)
- Navigating a digital world and post-truth conversations (1:02:45)
