In this cross-promotional episode, we are sharing an episode of Doable Discipleship, in which Dr. Groothuis sits down with Pastor Jason Wieland to talk about his book, World Religions in Seven Sentences. They discuss why Christians should learn about other world religions and then look at three religions or thoughts discussed in the book: Atheism, Judaism, and Islam. The episode also discusses the rise of “Apathy-ism” and the growing movement of people who don’t want to give any time or energy to thinking about spiritual matters at all.
