TruthTalks: Dark Matter and Dark Energy

 

Why Does Dark Matter; Matter?

 

While scientists use physical and natural efforts in their attempts to find “God”,  spiritual people employ metaphysical and supernatural means as a way of encountering God.

But is there any merit in the scientific approach and can it live arm-in-arm with spirituality?

Dr Christopher Peppler answers all these questions in this TruthTalks podcast in which he verbally expands on THIS post.

TruthTalks: How religions view Jesus

Top image Religions viewing Jesus

What do we do if we find ourselves in a conversation about Jesus and realise the other person is of a totally different faith to our own and we know nothing about it?

In this TruthTalk and Q and A session we talk briefly about 5 major religions, how they view Jesus, and how to “deal” with them. I also quiz Dad (Dr Christopher Peppler) about other religions, and we have an interesting conversation about what happens after we die, the second coming, and more. Give it a listen now and please share with your friends.

Until next time 🙂

TruthTalk on the Borg Dilemma

TruthTalk: The Borg Dilemma

TruthTalk Borg Dilemma

 

In his post from last week, Dr Christopher Peppler wrote about dilemma’s facing church leaders and made suggestions on how to handle them.

In this TruthTalk he addresses this topic in more detail. After this I barge in with my usual volley of questions.
I try to focus on the more practical side of things in these question and answer sessions from the perspective of a church member as opposed to Dad’s position of being in leadership positions most of his life.  I do hope you get something out of these and SUBSCRIBE, or simply leave a rating or comment on whatever you use to listen to your podcasts as this is the main way we can get this podcast out!

About Me

My name is Christopher Peppler and I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1947. While working in the financial sector I achieved a number of business qualifications from the Institute of Bankers, Damelin Management School, and The University of the Witwatersrand Business School. After over 20 years as a banker, I followed God’s calling and joined the ministry full time. After becoming a pastor of what is now a quite considerable church, I  earned an undergraduate theological qualification from the Baptist Theological College of Southern Africa and post-graduate degrees from two United States institutions. I was also awarded the Doctor of Theology in Systematic Theology from the University of Zululand in 2000.

Four years before that I established the South African Theological Seminary (SATS), which today is represented in over 70 countries and has more than 2 500 active students enrolled with it. I presently play an role supervising Masters and Doctoral students.

I am a passionate champion of the Christocentric or Christ-centred Principle, an approach to biblical interpretation and theological construction that emphasises the centrality of Jesus

I have been happily married to Patricia since the age of 20, have two children, Lance and Karen, a daughter-in-law Tracey, and granddaughters Jessica and Kirsten. I have now retired from both church and seminary leadership and devote my time to writing, discipling, and the classical guitar.
