A Place Where Skepticism and Faith Can Intersect
- 42 minutes 39 secondsPart 2 - End of the World as We Know It (An End Times Conversation)
As we examine current events in Israel, many people are asking, "Is this the end times?"
How can we comprehend the end times? Will Israel play a role in the unfolding of the end times? How have Christ-followers understood the end times throughout history? What is unique about American Christianity and its main view of the end times?
In this episode, we go deeper into this discussion. We spend a good portion of the time on Daniel 9.
Join Zach and David in this pertinent discussion.

8 November 2023, 12:07 pm - 39 minutes 11 secondsWorship Music: Authentic Expression or Emotional Manipulation? - 11
A few months ago, there was much conversation online around "Beef" on Netflix, which featured a moment where the character Danny Cho enters a church while the worship team leads the congregation in worship, and he is moved to tears. Zach and David had a discussion about this moment and how it has sparked scrutiny around worship music. Here is that conversation in podcast form.
Join Zach and David for a thought-provoking discussion on whether worship music fosters genuine spiritual expression or if it can sometimes be a tool for emotional manipulation.

2 August 2023, 12:41 pm - 40 minutes 12 secondsInterpreting Scripture: Navigating Disagreements on Women's Pastoral Roles and Other Biblical Positions - 10
The Southern Baptist Convention has recently expelled Saddleback Church for hiring a female teaching pastor and now has a list of churches within their denomination that also have female pastors.
How should we approach this issue? What does the Bible say? If you believe women can be pastors, does that mean we are not being Biblical?
How can we foster harmony and love amidst our differences?
Join us for this conversation that we hope is helpful and informative!

26 September 2022, 11:00 am - 37 minutesChristian Nationalism is not Jesus’ Christianity - 4
Christian Nationalism is a conviction that America is inherently a nation built on Christian ethics and beliefs. This ideology is seen through combative methods of imposing selected “Christian ethics” onto the political stage by any means necessary.
Christian Nationalism seems to be talked about more and more. Many conservative evangelicals are now even describing themselves and their vision for America in this way.
“Is this how Jesus used power and influence?”
“Is this how Jesus expects His followers to engage in our world?”
“What is a healthy relationship of Christianity and politics, and what does this mean for Christ followers?”
John 18
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries... just to name a few have are some of the notable and high profile pastors and churches that have come into the light as abusive. Many of these churches and/or leaders have account after account of allegations that they have hidden. Many stories have come out about them silencing victims.
