18 Oct 2008: Pick and Myth
We have always told stories to make sense of the world. But in the
postmodern world the story is all there is. Christians must help the
Western world recover the big picture, the metanarrative.

8 Nov 2008: Comparing Eastern and Western worldviews
This talk will compare the biblical Trinitarian worldview with monism
and dualism. It will take people out of their boxes and help them to
understand how and why intelligent and lovely people have a very
unbiblical worldview. Then it will help them see why only the biblical
worldview supports and sustains our lives.
