EP59: Explaining the Trinity with Dave Brisbin - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Sex, God, Individuality, and Connection Our discussion about the Kingdom in the previous episode led to a dialogue about the Trinity. Inside and outside of Christianity, this is a wholly misunderstood concept. A discussion like this is needed. For me (Jim), the Trinity is one of the two most profound metaphysical concepts at the foundation of my voluntaryist worldview. If you know a Christian who is seeking how to harmonize their libertarianism and their faith, the concept of "Perichoresis" (the "divine dance") is a great place to start. We covered questions like... -"What is the Trinity? -Why is Trinity important? -The human need for connection -How individuality is maintained in relationship -The importance of the Father concept ...and more! Our discussion of the Trinity even led to sex talk - yes, you read that right. How does sex relate to Perichoresis? Well, you'll have to listen to find out! The TWO PREVIOUS EPISODES IN THIS SERIES ARE "The Weakness of Orthodoxy with Dave Brisbin - EP 57 and Reconsidering the Kingdom of God with Dave Brisbin - EP 58. Both episodes are very short. NOTE: After we recorded these in-person episodes, we discovered severe audio and video difficulties. The content was too good, so we made a major effort to repair them. You might still notice some anomalies.
