Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.
In the full episode, we discuss:
0:00 Introduction
2:12 It seems like you and some of your critics define "heresy" differently- what do you think constitutes heresy vs. bad/wrong beliefs about God?
10:02 Is it wrong for someone to get married who doesn't want kids? Does this desire for only non procreative sex violate God's design for marriage and sexuality?
16:23 What are the main reasons you are not Catholic or Orthodox?
24:18 Do you hold to the western doctrine of original sin or the eastern idea that we’re born of the essence of God and therefore are born good? Why?
27:36 Is it Biblical to have different denominations? Should we be concerned with putting man-made prefixes before our faith?
32:04 Appreciated Exiles book. How do you answer the idea of the USA being founded on Biblical principles that are worth backing- equality, justice (even though poorly done)
34:23 Is there a biblical imperative for an institutional version of "church" or was it always meant to be a movement of people in more organic forms?
38:10 Thoughts on the pro/Palestinian protests and subsequent arrests on college campuses? Reports of antisemitism?
1:04:30 How old was Peter during Jesus' ministry? Heard both he was a teenager, age of type apprentice and that he was older, b/c he was married. And the other disciples?
1:06:16 Considering homeschooling. Can you share your experience homeschooling your kids?
1:10:58 Is the word for ”helper” in regards to Phoebe the same word used to describe others as “minister/pastor/teacher” or similar? (Heard Jennifer Bird suggest this)
1:13:45 If you're in full time ministry, does that cause a concentration of power that causes abuse?
1:14:47 Did Johnny B come up with baptism? Or was that part of Judaism before him?
1:16:19 RAPID FIRE

Josh Garrels is one of my favorite musicians of all time and my absolute top Christian artist. His songs are incredibly powerful and meaningful, and his sound is hard to compare.
I'll admit. I sort of fan-boyed in this interview, so I apologize for my awkwardness. I talked about Josh's heart behind his music, his journey as a Christian, and we even worked through several of my favorite songs of his, including "All Creatures," "The Resistance," "Babylon and Zion," "At the Table," and his recently released "The Watchman."
