    SPOTLIGHT: LGBTQ+ In The Church (Special Episode with Matthew J. Distefano)

    Dillon & Desimber debrief the debate of Matthew Distefano and Andrew Wilson on "Modern Day Debate." The question that persists within the church and within the political arena is: Where do LGBTQ+ people belong? Do they belong in the Church? If not, why?

    #091: Who Gets to Preach? Patriarchy, Power & the Price of Silence

    This week on The God Squad, Dillon and Desimber dive headfirst into another week of breaking news, broken theology, and the ongoing collision between faith and public life.  First, we'll tackle the headlines dominating the news cycle, Then we'll turn our attention to one of the biggest stories in American Christianity this week. At its annual meeting in Orlando, the Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to advance a constitutional amendment that would formally prohibit churches with women pastors and even churches that allow women to preach, moving one step closer to a denomination-wide ban. We'll also discuss how patriarchy impacts churches, families, and communities, and whether restricting women from ministry is ultimately a theological conviction, a cultural tradition, or a struggle over power itself.

    #090: Knocking at the Sky with Author Liz Charlotte Grant

    What happens when the faith you've inherited no longer fits the questions you're asking? Join us this week as we welcome award-winning author and essayist Liz Charlotte Grant, author of Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible. Together we'll explore the intersections of faith, doubt, Scripture, deconstruction, reconstruction, and what it means to keep seeking God when certainty slips through your fingers. Liz's work invites readers to approach Genesis not as a battleground in the culture wars, but as a work of art—one that still has the power to surprise, challenge, and inspire.

    The world may be falling apart… but at least we’ve got theology, sarcasm, and mushroom zombies. Join Dillon & Desimber Rose this week as we welcome special guest author Matthew DiStefano to discuss his latest book, Saints, Sinners, and Clickers — a deep dive into morality, humanity, survival, and what The Last of Us saga can teach us about who we become when the world breaks down.
