In this episode we talk about limits with Dr. Kelly Kapic, who is Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College (in Lookout Mountain, Georgia), and the author of You’re Only Human: How Our Limits Reflect God’s Design and Why That’s Good News (published by Brazos). Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Kapic talks about the importance of human limitation and how it should be considered from within a theology of creation. In particular, he highlights that we should not feel guilty for our lack of productivity at the end of the day, but neither should we give in to a one-sided emphasis on how our identity is unrelated to the work that we do or the bodies that we have. We want to avoid a hyper self-reliance on the one hand, and Gnosticism on the other. This conversation helpfully sets up the series that we have planned next on Disability and Theology. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Stephanie Kate Judd, Dr. Madison Pierce, Rev. Dr. Chris Porter, and Dr. Sydney Tooth.
