Institute of Biblical Defense

Apparently. IBD vice president and professor Matt J Coombe has admitted talking to himself on a regular basis. He even went so far as to admit that sometimes it turns into a conversation between alter egos or separate personalities, each residing only in Matt’s head. What a wild and unexpected discovery!

So, what are they discussing? Being Matt Coombe, the alter egos are found reasoning amongst themselves, often appearing to form a round-table discussion, exploring some spiritual truth or personal insight. Well, at least they’re seeking after God.

Oh, I should mention that for those close to him, this isn’t something well hidden. Everybody knows about it. His girlfriend talks about it. Not even his writing is immune, sometimes forming into more of a script than an essay. What is going on?

If you’re curious, take a listen to this weeks installment of the spiritual disciplines series, “Spiritual Disciplines part 4: Journaling“. Matt explains his own inner workings while enlightening you to how he has grown so strong in the Lord. Through anecdote and testimony, scripture and insight, Matt carries you through the process of the “lost art of journaling”.

Some of you probably didn’t even know journaling was a spiritual discipline. According to Mr. Coombe, your journal is the most important spiritual resource you have outside of the Word of God itself. Find out in this week’s installment.

But wait, there’s more! Enjoying “The Christian World View” show? There’s another great episode just waiting for you. The title of this week’s show is: “Classical Thought – Modern Day.”

Here, Matt Coombe interviews Dr. Fernandes while they explore the great philosophers of the infamous Medeval period of world history. It wasn’t quite as dark as many of us think. Some of the greatest works of Christian thought came out of this period. Get it, put in on the iPod, and enjoy!

Lastly, I’ve been told that the institute is turning out another work, “The Atheist Delusion.” An obvious take-off of Dr. Dawkins famous “The God Delusion” I’m certain it’ll be a fun and interesting read. More on that as it comes.

So many blessings, so little room on the iPod.
