The Real Hour of Power (In 48 Minutes)
As we continue to study the attitudes and practices behind bad religion, a special surprise guest joins regulars Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons to explore manipulative evangelism. How can we live out Jesus-following lives that attract others without asserting power? Also: Is it ever right (or Christ-like) to enforce power over others for a good reason?
TIMESTAMPS
00:45 Let the banter begin
01:40 Highway to heaven. Or Kevin.
03:01 Question: Why do we leave a seat empty at this table?
04:05 The name game: Ace, Tom and the Eye of Zahra
05:42 Response: But, actually, it's the mother of Q&R
10:35 Simply the best: This week’s transition to content comes smooth, like a river deep or a mountain high

Saving Grace
This week, we studied Jesus' rebuke to the Pharisees that were making followers into twice the children of Hell that they were. That prompted a listener to ask what salvation really is? And it sent this week's panel of Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons into a reflection on evangelism. What has the Church done to make salvation hellish? What will future generations say we got wrong? And, how can we do better?
TIMESTAMPS
00:41 Pastors are doing it for themselves--censorship, that is.* We join mid-banter as they scrap 15 minutes of intro they thought might rub some folks the wrong way...
01:08 ... and then, much talking about all the things the rest of us didn't get to hear: The pain of Mother's Day for dads; grain-free chips; mumbletypeg and more.
03:28 Lame intro question: The one where Tim doesn't like "Friends."
06:05 Thoughtful, mature Biblical content begins.
* Editor's note: Good call scrapping Take One, guys. We have the audio, and we're saving it. (Also: Production Team's Day is next weekend.)

Truthing And Consequences
Special guest Tim Stafford from the Voxology podcast joins regular NOW contributors Suzie Lind, Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon this week. As we continue our series on bad religion, they discuss what evangelism looks like in the Bible.
How does our modern notion of "speaking truth in love" compare with Paul's original more active exhortation to be "truthing in love?" When is it appropriate to intervene in the lives of those around us?
