The Way Back is a series of interviews lighting the path back to faith. Christian author and filmmaker Glen Scrivener is speaking to a range of Christians and non-Christians about the current meaning crisis, and what we have lost in walking away from the Jesus story. In a post-Christian age, is there a way back?

What a beautiful testimony. Thanks for having Heather, it is fascinsting seeing God bringing someone from such a blatantly opposed world to the knowledge of Christ.

[@jeanbrown4736]

Knowing Jesus is the most wonderful experience anyone can know

[@alicebarton27]

Sure is😊❤

[@mcmilge]

Agreed

[@monicacooper3240]

He IS Love

[@alicebarton27]

You are describing me.I too,was looking for Love,but I found it only in JESUS.

[@dorothyscharer1385]

It’s great reading what Jesus really said and did. As a pagan atheist I was terrible. But Jesus is good and certainly necessary to save me from my horrid sins. The blood He shed is the only remedy. ✝️❤️

[@muggchum]

I am very pleased that you have a similar approach to mine in simplifying the Christian life to the basics, love of God and our neighbours. Amen.

[@monicacooper3240]

The advice about reflecting on how to love is very meaningful

[@resilientrecoveryministries]

16:00 I was right there with you. So arrogant and judgmental--thinking I had the answers to complex issues and so angry that others were too greedy or dumb to go along with my ideas.

Great episode! N.B - Saul didn't "become" Paul. Paul is apparently a Greek translation of his original name, Saul.

Philosophy is philosophy... Truth is Truth.. and Jesus Christ is the Truth..

[@jamesmcmann8536]

A well structured and spiritualized Christian philosophy and accompanying praxis, which can be practiced outside of church services. That could be useful, and socially binding. God the Father (transcendent), Holy Spirit (personal), Logos, with Jesus as exemplar. Pride vs. humility. Contemplative prayer. Watchfulness (from Eastern Orthodoxy, similar to mindfulness). The Trinity, Resurrection, and church attendance are a tough lift for most, but what remains can be made to work for those with less faith. This is what I've done, influenced largely by the Eastern Orthodox variation of the faith.

Ayaan Ali is not a xtian. She is an atheist and ex Muslim.

[@digitalnomad9985]

So, are you unaware of her statement of conversion, or do you assert she is lying?

[@billgreen576]

@@digitalnomad9985 i confess I was unaware and having discovered the situation am utterly astonished. I am aware she has been under threat and a tremendous psychological pressure all her life. I need to think about this and investigate further.
