Dr. O. Alan Noble is Associate Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University, editor-in-chief of Christ and Pop Culture, and author of numerous articles. His most recent book is You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World and his forthcoming book (April 2023) is On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living. In this conversation, we talk about lots of different things including the book Blood Meridian, which Alan wrote his master's thesis on, the author Cormac McCarthy, and the content of his most recent book You Are Not Your Own, which is a pastoral analysis of our society's anthropological assumptions and commitments and how these affect both the church at the world. https://www.oalannoble.com/ If you would like to support Theology in the Raw, please visit patreon.com/theologyintheraw for more information!
Travis welcomes Alan Noble to the show as they discuss his book https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WP8MSK5/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 (You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World). Once again they discuss what it means to live in our modern-day world. They discuss our fixation w/ self-medication, technique, the burden of self-justification, and guys like Charles Taylor, Jacques Ellul, and Zygmunt Bauman-fun names to say, eh? These are deep thinkers who were insightful to step back and examine our modern world and how it is shaping us. There are promises of having a better life, of being a better you, of fill-in-the-blank that is going to make your life better and give you a more concrete and complete identity. But what if those promises are simply symptoms of something deeper and more sinister? What if they represent an incorrect view of the world that promise freedom but leads to tyranny instead? And if tyranny, how can we find freedom from it? That is what Travis and Alan talk about in today's episode of Apollos Watered! Learn more about https://www.oalannoble.com/ (Alan).

Author Alan Noble joins the show to discuss the fundamental assumption of modern life that many of us are shaped by: "You are your own, and you belong to yourself." The Christian gospel, however, provides a better vision that reframes the way we understand ourselves, our families, and God.Check out Alan's book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World.Like the show?

It was my pleasure to speak with Dr. Alan Noble about his recently published book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World. Dr. Noble is Associate Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University and the founder and former editor of Christ and Pop Culture. His writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Vox, Buzzfeed, First Things, Christianity Today, and The Gospel Coalition. Noble's first book, Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age, likewise explored the contours of faith and faithfulness in our contemporary cultural milieu. In our conversation, we discuss some of the major themes of You Are Not Your Own, including how modern society undermines the possibility of human flourishing, the consequences of the relentless pursuit of efficiency, and alternative ways of imagining the good life grounded in our belonging to God. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Also, if you've not done so already, please check out the terrific program we've put together this spring at the Study Center.

Everything in Western society teaches us that we belong to nobody but ourselves. This sounds great! We can create our own identities, map out our own lives, and find our own significance. This means that we are entirely responsible for ourselves. But Alan Noble says this overwhelmingly burdens us to try to justify our existence and to create and express our own identities. And society is more than happy to manipulate us as we do so. There is a lot of money to be had in people who are burdened with creating, sustaining, and projecting who they are. Alan Noble (Ph.D., Baylor University) is Associate Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University. He is the editor-in-chief of Christ and Pop Culture, and the author of articles and books, including Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age (InterVarsity Press, 2018).

In this episode, Micah talks with author Dr. Alan Noble of Oklahoma Baptist University. The pair discuss Dr. Noble's most recent book, “You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World.” Today's listeners will find particularly interesting Dr. Noble's discussion of self belonging and the “I just need to” mentality with its endless horizon of tasks and goals. This episode offers applicable advice to push back against the influence of a “world built against the grain of how we're designed to live.”
It's the fundamental lie of modern life, says Alan Noble: that we are our own. Compared to our ancestors, we're less worried about war. We're less worried about starvation and famine. But by believing that we are our own, we tend to struggle with new problems: the loss of meaning, identity, and purpose.Noble says this in his new book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World, published by InterVarsity:Everyone is on their own private journey of self-discovery and self-expression so that at times, modern life feels like billions of people in the same room shouting their name so that everyone else knows they exist and who they are—which is a fairly accurate description of social media.Noble's book feels like a douse of cold water that wakes us from our delusion. His book builds off the first question and answer of the Heidelberg Catechism. And he helps us find our way back to this well-worn path of divine wisdom. He writes, “Our selves belong to God, and we are joyfully limited and restrained by the obligations, virtues, and love that naturally come from this belonging.”Noble is assistant professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University and co-founder and editor in chief of Christ and Pop Culture. You may know his previous work, Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Alan Noble, professor and author of the recent book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World.

I had a great time talking with Alan Noble on his new book coming out with InterVarsity Press titled "You Are Not Your: Own Belonging to God in an Inhuman World."We discussed the ideas of how society, culture, and the world is shaping how we operate as humans. In the book Noble explores how this simple truth reframes the way we understand ourselves, our families, our society, and God. Contrasting these two visions of life, he invites us past the sickness of contemporary life into a better understanding of who we are and to whom we belong.Get Alan's Book Here"You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World."You can find more of Alan's content at his website www.oalannoble.com
Move for Peace Fundraising Page The Truth Shall Set You Free (Dave's XXXChurch Post) Patreon Page Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective. Today I am joined by Dr. Alan Noble to discuss his forth coming book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World. In this book and in the interview, Alan shows how the unfettered freedom we all assume ends up being a burden to great for any individual. To help cope with this burden, our society offers a myriad of coping mechanisms that offer short-term relief and long-term complications.
