RTN Theology podcast launches out on it own with a new season featuring Christian philosopher James K.A. Smith. Bob and Chris talk with Jamie about his new book On The Road With Saint Augustine: Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts (Brazos Press, 2019). By deeply exploring the primal image of the journey for our human condition, Smith unlocks the many ways St. Augustine knows us better than ourselves when it comes to core human longings for freedom, ambition, friendship, and desire. Augustine’s is a wisdom which comes not from above, but from alongside of us in our darkest, most confused, and restless. Augustine’s magnum opus, Confessions, reveals that the antidote for a restless heart is not more running on the road, rather to find rest in the Home which only God gives and is for us. New music by A.S. Wilson is featured throughout.
