Centrally Speaking

“Centrally Speaking” is a podcast from the Central Schwenkfelder Church and speaks about issues that would be of interest to our society. In particular it addresses how a Christian worldview intersects with western secular culture. In the spirit of the church's founder, we take the perspective of "the Middle Way," which is in agreement with the historic Christian church.

Hope is something that we all need. As former President Barack Obama said, "While we breathe, we hope." In this podcast, we speak with someone who has been examining the idea of hope for over six years. Dr. Steven van den Heuvel leads the "Hope Project" (website: https://www.thehopeproject.nl/en/home/) and is the Director of the Institute of Leadership and Social Ethics (https://www.etf-ilse.org/) at Evangelische Theologische Faculteit in Leuven, Belgium (https://www.etf.edu/). Steven has also just edited a book entitled Historical and Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Hope.
