Inverted Orthodoxy 451- Allies, Activism, and the Rapture

welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. Let's dive in! June 2- I've been thinking a lot since the sexuality discussion night about activism versus performative activism. As pastors, do you find that discussions around LGBTQIA+ issues bring unique challenges or pushback within the church? One thing I've been wrestling with is that some of the loudest advocates for LGBTQIA+ inclusion can also engage in behaviours that seem contrary to the values they're promoting. For example, there have been instances where LGBTQ+ individuals who were not publicly out were identified or discussed without their consent. Since being out is a deeply personal decision, that can cause significant harm. How should we evaluate advocacy when the stated goal is inclusion and safety, but some actions appear to violate those same principles? And how do we keep those people who may now feel unsafe, feel safer at church post discussion? Thank you for the respect you showed while hosting that discussion night, I know I felt it and felt seen and heard. June 7- I have grandparents that would have rapture views for Christianity, I love them and want to respect, but sometimes I want to challenge them on their views of rapture theology, especially because some of the things that they listen too are toxic. What would you guys recommend?

Inverted Orthodoxy 450- 50 CALORIES?! The Communion Scandal and the professionalization of Pastors

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week tackles the following questions: (2:39 into episode) AER… Pastor Kyle… I’ve got a bone to pick with you. Okay… it’s not that serious. But on Sunday… you said the communion cups were 50 (FIFTY) calories. There’s no way!! Maybe 5 calories max if we are being generous? 0-1 calories for the wafer… and like 3-4 for the juice per cup. Explain yourself! lol. 😂 (10:45 into episode) May 19- Do you think the professionalization of the role of the pastor has led to an immaturity in the church. We are corporately called to be royal priests, to be alongside each other in our walk with Christ. But so many Christians just listen to the pastor and not each other. Does having full time pastors reduce the opportunities for us all to take on leadership roles, serve in the church, and develop our faith? For context I grew up and for a long time was part of churches without any full time staff. Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

Inverted Orthodoxy 449- Who's Doing the Healing?

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week covers the following questions: John 20:19-23, why is this passage not centered on as the first infilling of Holy Spirit? It appears to be more intimate, intentional. In comparing to what happened in Acts 2, in John 20, Jesus is giving Holy Spirit to the disciples and they witness what Holy Spirit can and will do in Acts 2. Does Jesus heal, forgive, provide and generally answer needs, or does he intercede, bringing them to the father, who then heals, forgives, provides and answers needs? When quietly seeking God, is the focus on Him within us, or around us? Do you have a question you've been wanting answered? Head on over to our website www.invertedorthodoxy.com to submit a question.

Inverted Orthodoxy 448- What Happens If You Jump Off a Cliff in the New Creation?

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. Let's dive in! (2:11 into episode) can you help me with another podcast title? thank you!! 702. April 17- Jesus said, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”’ John 20:15–17. It strikes me that Jesus is still half human. Does that automatically make a hierarchy between him and the Father? Is he still answerable and obedient to the Father as we are (or should be)? (33:13 into episode) May 1- When Jesus returns and we get our new bodies and there will be no more pain or tears, what would happen if you jumped off a cliff or in front of a train or something? Assuming laws of nature still apply like gravity then you’d think you’d be Injured but if there’s no more pain or tears what do you think would happen?

Inverted Orthodoxy 447- Trump, Triangles & the Trouble with Salvation

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week tackles the following questions: (1:17 into episode) April 7- I was raised believing that to be saved I needed to follow the instructions in romans 10:9. But now I'm wondering if salvation is more than just a confession of faith and belief that Jesus is Lord. isn't true belief more than just words; what if someone was saved as a child but choices in adulthood seem incongruent with Jesus' teachings (ie. treat people poorly, judgemental, prideful)..does that mean they were never 'really' saved? (23:22 into episode) April 10- “He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.”Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭41‬ ‭Why did God choose not to let the resurrected Jesus be seen by all the people? I struggle with this thought. How much easier it would have been if everyone had seen the resurrected Jesus. Definitive proof that he was indeed alive. (32:40 into episode) April 15- Okay, can we talk about trump depicting himself as Jesus.. this has me outraged and now that he’s claiming it’s a photo of him being a “doctor” even more so. What do you think about this? And do you think this is the moment some Christian’s will wake up to what is happening (40:26 into episode) April 16-Can you explain the inverted orthodoxy “door” symbol? Are there purposely 5 triangle plus 2 at the bottom? Why does the one on the top right have a side missing? How was this chosen? Thanks. Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

Inverted Orthodoxy 446- Divine Detours & Drone Shows

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This weeks episode covers the following questions: (2:24 into episode) April 1- What is your take/opinion on Divine Intervention? God Stepping in or Angels interceding on our behalf to save of us from certain things (Car Crash, Muggings, Drowning, Etc.), in certain situations. Or maybe direct us down a different path, etc. And if NOT, then please explain what you think all these stories could be. (9:48 into episode) April 5- When Jesus says not to store up treasure on earth was that literal or about our hearts? Is saving for a vacation, or saving into a pension, or for kids educations, storing up treasure or wisdom because our lives have some huge expenses? What about wanting to pass on inheritance to your children? If we take it literally, like the early disciples would we sell all our belongings, all the excess, instead of saving, give it away to the poor, but that doesn’t seem very wise. What are your thoughts? (21:55 into episode) April 6- What are your top tips for being less selfish? (33:02 into episode) April 6-I’m not trying to generalize, but lately I’ve been thinking and seeing a lot about mega churches and some of the things they do in the name of Jesus but it seems like the performance is more important than the teaching. Would you consider some of these practices to be performative Christianity? Like drone shows on Easter, excessive fog and lights at worship times, it seems like more of a show than a teaching. I’d appreciate any perspective on this Do you have a question you've been wanting answered? Head on over to our website www.invertedorthodoxy.com to submit a question.

Inverted Orthodoxy 445- The Bible's Biggest "Wait... What?" Moments

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This weeks episode covers the following questions: (2:00 into episode) Mar 28- I’m finding Matthew 23:1-4 (below) very troublesome. Why would Jesus tell the people to do what the Pharisees tell them to do just because they sit in Moses seat? First off, he himself says that it is a cumbersome heavy load, in other words that it’s not really necessary, so why wouldn’t he just tell them to use common sense and do what they need to do instead? Secondly, he would know that soon it would be redundant to offer sacrifices, etc., because he would die on the cross and negate their necessity, so why would he make a point of telling them that they have to do all these cumbersome things their leaders are telling them to do? And what are we supposed to get from this? Only that we should also practice what we preach and not be demanding? I don’t get the point of all this. Thank you. Matthew 23:1-4 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them." (23:22 into episode) Mar 29- Acts 1:18 says, “(With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.” ‭But, the gospels tell us that Judas hung himself. Matthew 27:5.Can you please help me make sense of the conflicting narratives found in these passages. (30:24 into episode) Mar 31- I would like to know your thoughts on the ‘Shroud of turin’. Do you believe it could be evidence of Christ death and resurrection? Why or why not? https://open.spotify.com/episode/26rPFdwdkVLCdyxO5S5OOD?si=qq8Pmk0pSdSaOqd6JNX4Hg&pi=e1zG52sjRFS4Z&t=4904 For reference. Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

Inverted Orthodoxy 444- Jesus Over Comfort (Plus a Frozen Intervention)

We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week covers the following questions: (1:20 into episode) AER- From Kielan! Kyle says he has control over the podcast.. but who really does?! (2:02 into episode) Mar 8- I must admit, a life with Jesus sounds a lot more exciting when I look at it through the lens of prosperity gospel teaching. I am all in, but how do we get excited about a life with Jesus when it truly is giving up of my own desires, hopes, dreams? I know in my head that his ways are better for me but a life with Jesus feels more difficult and painful in many ways than going my own way. To lay down my life is really hard, especially when I don’t get to look at it through the prosperity lens of trusting that I will get something i deem as “good” in return for my sacrifices. I know a life with Jesus is a good gift but why doesn’t it feel that way? (23:16 into episode) Mar 20- Doug did you even watch Frozen yet? Did you, did you even? (28:39 into episode) Mar 27- Do you think Moses carried Josephs bones in a bag or a box out of Egypt? also do you think they would have kept track for all these years where his bones were laid?
