A brief discussion on the categories of knowledge, how the life of the way of faithfulness to Christ prioritizes them, how this is in stark distinction to our culture, & why the examination of this question is at the heart of the restructuring of this podcast for Season Six.
This is, essentially, episode 000 as our first true conversational episode will be our true kick-off of the new format in the new season.
