How does our imagination impact our ability to empathize?  Storytelling, art, film, music, and books all have the ability to shape our imaginations and can move us into greater levels of empathy for others.  Dr. Mary McCampbell recently wrote a book called "Imagining Our Neighbors as Ourselves: How Art Shapes Empathy".  In this conversation we discuss her book and how realistic and prophetic art can shape empathy for those around us.  We hope you enjoy our conversation. To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.edu Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.

Leaders can become stars, celebrities, and potential saviours to many people they lead and even themselves.   Often this can lead to burnout or fallout and a misconstrued view of what leadership is.  We had a conversation with Dr. Ruth Padilla DeBorst on how one needs to lead in community where trusted friends and colleagues can speak truth into a leaders life.  In an effort to lead like Jesus Dr. DeBorst challenges leaders to allow others to see your humanity and point them to Jesus who emulates true leadership.  We hope you enjoy this conversation.  To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.edu Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.

Often we talk about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but don't actually understand its meaning for humanity and all of creation.  Even more we focus on the Atonement of Christ without realizing that the Resurrection is significantly connected to it.   We sat down with Dr. Ross Hastings and had a conversation about his new book, "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Exploring Its Theological Significance and Ongoing Relevance".  We asked questions around the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus, how we are to understand the mission of God in light of the Resurrection, and how we can live more fully as God's Resurrected people.  We hope you enjoy our conversation with Dr. Ross Hastings!Interested in Dr. Hastings book, check out the Regent College Bookstore.  To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.eduRegent College PodcastThanks for listening.
