7 – Burning Heretics: Augustine & Justinian

John Crowder loves to push the envelope and provoke people to extreme joy, radical grace and contemplative wonder through the scandalous, liberating good news of humanity’s union with God in Jesus Christ. Based in Oregon with Lily, his wife of 25 years, and their children, John is an internationally recognized author, speaker and advocate of Trinitarian theology. John brings a Christological lens to his teaching, with openness to supernatural expression. For John, theology and mysticism are inseparable. Grace and Truth are more than a doctrine but a Person: Jesus who has universally woven creation into the life of Father, Son and Holy Spirit - awakening us to limitless divine love and our true identity in Him.

John has been on the forefront of a fresh renewal movement marked by miraculous and ecstatic experience, yet rooted in the recovery of a grace-based grasp of the finished work of the cross. John has traveled to more than 140 nations, hosted mass evangelism campaigns, planted children's homes and equips the church at events and outreach missions worldwide. John won eight Press Club awards as an editor and journalist in Alaska, publishing more than a thousand articles. For nine years he produced a bi-annual magazine, The Ecstatic, and has written seven books including The Ecstasy of Loving God, Mystical Union, Cosmos Reborn, Chosen for Paradise and Money. Sex. Beer. God. His Jesus Trip video series has garnered millions of views. John is dean of Cana New Wine Seminary and produces extended E-courses on topics such as Christology, contemplation, church history and Biblical commentary. He hosts a monthly Webinar platform, The Inner Sanctum. The Crowders are founders of Sons of Thunder Ministries & Publications.
