What do miracles, sinful lifestyles, and David’s heart for God teach us about faith in today’s world?

Season 4 Episode 33

In this "Ask Us Anything" episode of the Denison Forum Podcast, Dr. Mark Turman is joined by Dr. Jim Denison and Dr. Ryan Denison for a thoughtful roundtable conversation. Together, they explore the purpose of affliction in the Christian life, what it truly means that David was “a man after God’s own heart,” and whether pastors should endorse political candidates. The conversation also touches on how Christians can love those living in sinful lifestyles, how to reconcile the violence of the Old Testament with a God of love, and whether miracles are still relevant today.

As the podcast prepares to relaunch under a new name—Faith and Clarity with Dr. Mark Turman—this episode offers a preview of what’s to come: biblical wisdom, honest dialogue, and clarity for navigating the complexities of our culture through the lens of faith.
