Lonely Birds Under a Wide Open Sky

Theologian Karl Barth compelled Christians of the Third Reich to resist the evil which was besetting the world by becoming accustomed to being "lonely birds under a wide, unconditionally open" sky. What he meant by that is that they (and we!) must establish a center of spiritual reistance so strong that they are willing to go it alone if even the entire world begins to call what is evil good. On today's episode we explore this concept and how a few important shifts in our worldview might enable us to establish a center of spiritual resistance of our own in the times in which we find ourselves living.
