428-438 – Calls – What is someone's "fair share?"  Is it "fair" that the top 1% ($380K) pay 40%, the top 5% ($160K) pay 60%, and the top 10% ($113K) pay 70% of all federal tax revenue – while the bottom half ($33K) pay nothing?

458-508 – Scott Daniels, Dean of APU's School of Theology (apu.edu) and senior pastor at Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene (paznaz.org), his radio show "Faith Works" can be heard Sunday mornings on KKLA at 1130am.  His latest two books are:  The First 100 Days: A Pastor's Guide, and Seven Deadly Spirits: The Message of Revelation's Letters for Today's Church.  Scott and Debbie have four kids.  

Today, I ask Scott to talk about some of the academic threats to a Christian seminary or school of theology, namely, the effort to undermine the authority of scripture from one side and widespread anti-intellectualism from the other.  Many seminaries study God as a subject matter, as though He were a fictional being like a unicorn.

512-523 – Scott Daniels,

528-539 – Scott Daniels,  APU received a grant from the Kern Foundation to research the integration of faith and work, and it got me to thinkin'…. What kind of used car salesman would Jesus be?  Or Dodger GM?  Or hedge fund manager?  Or ??
