YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIf only things were simpler.
Ever found yourself saying that in your investigation of church history? Me too. In this video, I speak about that dizzying feeling of being on the edge of finding what you're seeking and yet failing to grasp it. Specifically, I talk about how Albert Camus in his philosophy of absurdity has given me language for making sense of this frustrating feeling.
By breaking down his philosophy along with Soren Kierkegaard and Edmund Husserl's alternatives, I share some paths forward on the ecclesial journey, with special emphasis on the question of whether the church is an object of faith and when we should take a leap.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
About the host:
Austin Suggs holds a BA in Theology from Moody Bible Institute and is currently pursuing an MA in Liberal Arts with a focus in Theology and Philosophy from St. John's College, Annapolis. He has served in the local church in a number of ways, including as a full-time staff member,, teacher, church planter, and more. Today, he resides outside of Baltimore with his wife Eliza.
