    175. To Share Or Not To Share

    175. To Share Or Not To Share

    When does honest and earnest transparency tip into oversharing and misplaced attention seeking? (the podcasters ask, fully acknowledging what irony this invites...) What is gossip actually? How can information shared amongst a community be helpful for reinforcing good boundaries and expectations without tipping into harmful rumor-mongering?

    174. Is Death So Bad?

    174. Is Death So Bad?

    Really though? When it's essentially the only human experience that is truly universal, that we all will die, why do we have such a bad relationship with it? Stephen wonders if the fear of death is something religion does to inspire fear to win converts. "Oh death, where is your sting?" Perhaps we got it all wrong and what we thought was a sting was a kiss all along!

    173. Does It Matter Where Money Comes From?

    173. Does It Matter Where Money Comes From?

    It's about time we check in on our thoughts on money, huh? A lot has changes since the teen episodes of our podcast and Josh is wondering "does it matter where money comes from?" Unsurprisingly, we talk about the implications of philanthropy, giving vs tithing mindset, the churches that are greasy and gross about money, and the ones who could be doing it better.

    172. WTF Did Jesus Think The Church Would Be?!

    172. WTF Did Jesus Think The Church Would Be?!

    Why don't more people wonder about what Jesus himself thought the church would be? Would Jesus like what we've done with the place? Or would he think we completely missed the mark from what he had in mind when he told Peter "upon this rock I will build my church"? These questions and more as we grapple with the greek ecclesia and play a wild hypothetical when Stephen asks Emily what would happen if Jesus showed up at the church she pastors!

    171. Thoughts and Prayers and Wagers

    171. Thoughts and Prayers and Wagers

    Stephen has officially entered his atheist Philosophy Era (think Taylor Swift's Reputation Era with equal amounts of confidence with a dash of ennui-bordering-on-nihilism) and wants to play with the classic thought experiment presented by Blaise Pascal: the famous "wager." We discuss the misconceptions and misapplications as used by evangelical Christian apologists as well as Pascal's thoughts on uncertainty.
