How should Christians think about the things of this world? How do we enjoy God's good gifts without making them idols? In this episode we discuss Joe Rigney's book, Strangely Bright, a helpful treatise on how Christians should interact with God's good gifts to us. We talk about Augustine's "disordered loves", Christian hedonism, the gift of nature and family, and the necessity of Scripture and corporate worship. We discuss how loving God most enables us to have the greatest enjoyment and right ordering of the good things God has made.
