The Two Things You Shouldn't Talk About The Two Things You Shouldn’t Talk About

THE ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS is a new series on The Two Things You Shouldn’t Talk About, where I assemble guests around a table to bring clarity to interesting and controversial topics.

This week, we are discussing all things worship - how should we do it (and why), does musical taste matter and what are some of the best worship songs ever?

Integrating CBT, insight/psychodynamic theory, and Biblical truth, he is passionate about seeing clients overcome anxiety and depression, men free from the chains of pornography, adolescents developing a strong sense of self-worth and confidence, and those suffering from past trauma finding healing to live more meaningful lives.

Dr John Reese is a Teaching Professor and Lead Instructor of History at Pensacola Christian College, where he seeks to bring history to life on stage, teaching about important historical events in an engaging and dramatic way.

In this episode, John and I discuss the danger and impacts of historical revisionism, a process where the past is revised to better suit modern social views and political agendas. We touch on statues and monuments to the past, values that we should be preserving as a society, and John shares some interesting historical tales.
