Theopraxis, hosted by J. Ben Wiles, PhD, is about the intersection between beliefs and life. The podcast title “Theopraxis” represents that important connection between our beliefs (theo) and practices (praxis). What we believe about God, about ourselves, and about the world around us matters and impacts what we do. We will explore those ideas on this podcast. But this is not simply a “theology” podcast or a “Bible study” podcast. Theopraxis is about uncovering those often unexamined beliefs and feelings that are underneath our actions, bringing them to light and challenging them in ways that enable us to thrive and live lives of fulfillment and joy.
