It's a joy to be back podcasting after a long hiatus, and an even greater joy to interview Andrew Arndt about his latest book A Strange and Gracious Light. Andrew is the Pastor of New Life East in Colorado Springs, author of several books, and the host of the Essential Church Podcast. This is a remarkable book and I hope you'll read it. It's a joy.

If you enjoy the Theomagination podcast you should definitely check out the Theomagination Substack page for written (and sometimes recorded) content.

Andrew Ray Williams is a Pastor, Poet and Theologian. I had to joy of previously interviewing him about his book, Washed in the Spirit: Towards a Pentecostal Theology of Water Baptism. Here we talk about his book Reconstructing Prayer: Beyond Deconstructing Your Faith. This timely book, undergirded by scholarship and person experience, is framed through the lens of children's prayers and leads us to a place of child like wonder. This is a wonderful and heart-expanding book. I highly encourage you to pick it up and to check out the book he released just this week: The Stories That Make Us: Practicing the Parables of Jesus. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
