The Tenpenny Files with Bob Sjogren

Modern Christianity has trained too many believers to ask what God can do for them before they ask whether their lives bring glory to Him. Bob Sjogren brings that problem into the open through Cat and Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master, a book that uses humor to expose something far more serious than personality differences between pets.

The cat says, “I must be God.” The dog says, “You must be God.” Sjogren uses that simple contrast to challenge the way Christians pray, worship, parent, lead churches, read Scripture, and define the purpose of their faith.

This conversation does not stay light for long. Sjogren explains how self-centered Christianity can hide inside sincere belief, familiar Bible stories, church language, prosperity teaching, and even personal application. The issue is not whether God blesses His people. The issue is whether believers have quietly made themselves the center of the story.

Dr. Tenpenny and Bob Sjogren press into the question many Christians avoid: Is faith about personal happiness, answered prayers, comfort, and protection, or is it about the glory of God?

The interview opens the door. The book goes deeper into the patterns, examples, and corrections most Christians will need to sit with more than once. Together, they force a hard look at motive, surrender, parenting, prayer, and the quiet ways believers can drift into a faith that sounds biblical while remaining centered on self.
