John Dickson: 本集讲述了我和挚友Ben Shaw的故事，从儿时玩伴到一起信奉基督教，再到组建乐队、学习神学和从事神职工作。Ben的去世让我有机会反思他生命的最后几个月所著之书，以及几十年来与他并肩前行的属灵感悟。Ben在与癌症抗争的过程中，展现出对信仰坚定不移的信念，他的离世让我既悲伤又充满希望。他临终前出版的《重新思考基督教的七个理由》一书，总结了他对信仰的理解，也体现了他对生命的深刻思考。在Ben生命的最后几个月，我们一起读经、祈祷、唱歌，这些经历让我更加敬畏他，也更加坚定了我的信仰。 Ben Shaw: 我写这本书是为了传福音，因为写作可以触及更广泛的受众。使徒们的著作使他们的福音能跨越时空影响更多的人。写作可以精心打磨文字，并得到朋友和团队的帮助使其更完善。书中的信息是普世的，适用于所有人，无论他们的背景或生命阶段如何。面对死亡，我没有重新考虑我的基督教信仰，但经历让我重新思考和评估自己。从小就拥有坚定的信仰，所以无需重新考虑。面对永恒，我重新评估了自己，但我对信仰的信心没有动摇。

Shownotes Transcript

Ben Shaw and John Dickson were friends since childhood, became Christians together in their teens, formed a rock and roll band in their 20s, and went on to study theology and minister in the fields God opened up to them.

The death of Ben Shaw has provided John with an opportunity to reflect on the sort of book his best friend felt was worth using his last months to write, and the spiritual lessons he has learned from decades of standing beside him.
