They also explore how online theological education is shaping a new generation of learners. Whether you're a pastor, a student, or just someone trying to navigate the digital age wisely, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss!Everyday Dadding - Are smartphones rewiring my kids brain? - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5UNqVNhYs18TPgzeiw0Dlx?si=157456c8a292410f

Our Muslim neighbours are people made in God's image, worthy of our respect, who need to hear about Jesus.  Rob Scott has lived and ministered among Muslim people in London for many years.  He speaks about his own experiences with Muslim friends, getting to know them, learning about their lives and faith and fears, and reading the Bible with them.  He opens up about how Muslim people in Britain have insights into Western culture that Western Christians can sometimes be blind to.  And he helps us grasp what it might actually feel like for a Muslim person to step inside a church, or even a Christian's home.   Deep Roots is a podcast produced by Oak Hill College.
