84 - Michael Thiessen on Canadian Evangelicals and the Paralysis by Pragmatism of the Church

In this episode, I talk with Michael Thiessen about church culture and evangelical leadership in Canada. We discuss his recent departure from the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptists (FEB) and the precipitating events which lead to his exit. There are many questions today surrounding the viability of the evangelical approach to cultural engagement particularly as it relates to politics. We explore the topic of presuppositionalism and biblical sufficiency unpacking the authority of pastors and their responsibility to teach the nations to obey all that Christ has commanded.
