Most of life and faith is lived in the tension between the two extremes. On this show, we look at what many of us were taught growing up in evangelical churches, weigh it against what our current culture is saying, and try to find what Jesus has for us in the tension between the two.

    It's okay to change your mind

    It's okay to change your mind

    For many of us who are trying to live in the tensions of our faith, we have come to places where what we're learning today is different from what we've learned in our past.
    In the final episode of season ten, we talk about how it's okay to change your mind on issues as you learn new things and come to new understandings. We also discuss the amount of bravery it takes to approach your faith in a way that asks the hard questions.

    How studying scripture led me to becoming pro-choice

    How studying scripture led me to becoming pro-choice

    This one is either going to alienate all our viewers or finally give words to what many of you are feeling.
    Building on last week's episode about studying scripture in its original context, this week Jonathan shares his journey of how studying the pro-life scriptures he was taught growing up in their full context led him to becoming pro-choice. It's a nuanced conversation but one that feels culturally relevant for many of us trying to figure out how to apply our faith to the culture around us.

    What's the difference in a butt dial and a booty call?

    What's the difference in a butt dial and a booty call?

    Let us go ahead and say it up front: this one gyat a little thick on the back end. We may have packed in a little too much junk in the trunk.
    All booty puns aside - this week we're sitting down (sorry!) to talk about one of the biggest issues we face today: pulling scripture out of its original context to justify our personal preferences and beliefs.
    We use the click bait of the title to pull you in before shifting to a conversation we really think you'll enjoy.

    The hardest part of loving your neighbor

    The hardest part of loving your neighbor

    Why is it so dang hard for people to love their neighbor? It seems like on of Jesus's easiest commands. But if 'love your neighbor' is so easy, why do we suck at it so often?
    This week we look at two ends of the pendulum for why it's hard to love our neighbor and try to find a way to get better at it.

    Does the Bible actually say only God can judge us? (or how Tupac got it wrong...)

    Does the Bible actually say only God can judge us? (or how Tupac got it wrong...)

    Tupac told us only God can judge us.
    But does the Bible actually say that?
    This week we expand on how we love people like Jesus and look at what the Bible says about "judging" other people.
