Episode: It's In the Code Ep. 48: Testimony
Description: What do Christians mean when they refer to their “personal testimonies”? What do they mean when they refer to “witnessing” to others? Why do some Christians emphasize “testifying”? This language can be confusing to religious outsiders. For “insiders” to this way of speaking, it provokes a wide range of emotional responses, ranging from hope and encouragement to feelings of guilt and anger. In this first of two linked episodes, Dan explores these issues and others, exploring the basic idea of “giving testimony” and the different uses of this language within Christian communities.Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus episodes...
