Tim and Joel dive into the world of football, ministry, and evangelical thought!They start with wide-ranging discussion on football, from the history of Adidas and Puma, World Cup Finals, the Danubian effect on football's development as well as the unique ownership structures of German clubs.They then chat about Tim’s Book Club, where they are exploring Children’s Ministry and the Spiritual Child. We talk about moving from children’s ministry controlling behaviour to fostering relational discipleship. The importance of “holy curiosity” and how to create a ministry environment where kids develop a lasting love for Jesus.Finally, they dive into Mark Noll’s classic work, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, and its exploration of evangelical thought leadership. They discuss how the evangelical community has excelled in certain areas but has often lacked intellectual engagement in fields like business, biology, and economics, and how fundamentalism and Enlightenment thinking have shaped this.00:00 Intro01:42 Tim's running app, Adidas/Puma split, football chat21:37 A relational model becomes more attractive to children in the long term44:14 The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind and integrating evangelical thinking54:34 Have Christians become more nuanced?DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE1954 World Cup Final1974 World Cup FinalSC Freiburg2001 FA Cup FinalSt. Pauli sausage trainExplaining the Bundesliga's 50+1 ruleWhy RB Leipzig is the most hated soccer team in the BundesligaThe issues with multi-club ownershipThomas Piketty and the decline of footballChildren’s Ministry and the Spiritual Child, by Robin Turner & Trevecca OkholmThe Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, by Mark A.
