Ways to Listen

In the Christ and Culture podcast with Ken Keathley and Benjamin Quinn, we explore how the Christian faith intersects all avenues of today’s culture through conversations with leading thinkers.

Today’s Episode:

What is productivity, and how does our faith give us a unique perspective on how we use our time? Ana Ávila joins us to talk about this important topic. The conversation touches on topics like limitations, time, the theological significance of sleep, priorities, the necessity of wisdom, and the effects of technology on our productivity. (The conversation begins at 8:55.)

Plus, in “Headlines” (1:10), Dr. Quinn discusses Travis Kelce’s actions in the Super Bowl and explains how sports are “a laboratory for our emotions.” And in “On My Bookshelf” (32:45), Ana recommends a book he’s reading right now.

Additional Resources:

If you’re a Christian and you believe in a sovereign God, you need to stop saying you don’t have the time.
