Where the Story Starts with Chris Staron

Embracing Complexity and Compassion in Church History

Chris Staron of The Truce Podcast is on Theology Meets World to engage with host Jake Doberenz about why Christians should care about the history of our beliefs, especially how world events in the last 200 years have shaped our beliefs today. The conversation emphasizes the importance of addressing both the ups and downs of church history and the need for repentance and reflection on past sins. Chris and Jake also touch on topics such as the origins of the relationship between the church and the Republican Party, the complexity of examining historical narratives, and the attractiveness of conspiracy theories.
