Dr. Gary Tyra from Vanguard University joins me as we discuss the nature of spirituality. Dr. Tyra emphasizes a biblically informed, theologically realistic approach. He contrasts secular versus theistic spirituality and highlights the importance of a holistic spiritual lifestyle over episodic practices. Our conversation delves into Paul’s theological realism, the essence of mission-oriented spirituality, and the significance of integrating ethical decision-making with Christian discipleship. I really enjoyed it and I hope you will too.
