Continuing the conversation from Episode #17 with Richard Johnson, we discuss aspects of Rich's story and ultimate journey of restoration.  We discuss topics such as, the God-given moments of clarity when we are in the muck &amp; mire of our lives.  God reminds us that He is still pursuing us... that He hasn't given up on us.  And these moments are opportunities to realign ourselves with Him and walk back into relationship... OR to believe the lie of the enemy who is hoping that we see the hopelessness of the situation of our own doing, and attempts to trick us out of sonship and into embracing condemnation... it's so tempting, because the scream of "GUILTY!" is so loud within us.

The Hope of Restoration - Richard C. Johnson

Rich shares the incredible story of his life and the lessons that he's learned along the way.  The pervasive constant throughout his journey is that Jesus has been his source of breath and life even as he has wrestled through experiences of disappointment, failure, faith, and victory.  As he puts it: "I am loved in the cracks. I am loved in the contradictions.I am loved in the complications."  Through his story, we can learn a lot about the love of the Father and the hope of sonship.

Finding Christ In My Contradictions - Richard C. Johnson

Host: Robert Price Richard C. Johnson Ph.D. is a retired chemist and serves as Treasurer for Freethought Arizona. For some 25 years, the company he founded worked with scientists and researchers in chemical analysis. Through family ties, Richard had long been a kind of participant observer of religion and learned well its social bonding functions, though always remaining suspicious of its metaphysical claims. He observed just too many contradictions in theory and practice to take the beliefs seriously. Here he saw the roots of the terrible present-day conflicts between religions as well as between particular faiths and the rest of the world. Dr. Johnson is the author of Religion: The Failed Narrative, in which he urges readers to scrutinize religious claims with the simple rational methods of science. Listen to his interview with host Robert M. Price who trivializes the issues with gratuitous references to Uncle Fester and other absurdities.
