    S6 Ep 15: #110 - Your Parents Believed It. Your Church Taught It. But Is It True?

    Craig and Brandon tackle Christian deconstruction, doubt, inherited beliefs, church traditions, hypocrisy, politics, and the difference between honestly searching for truth and searching for permission to believe what we already want to believe.

    S6 Ep 14: #109 - Will Everyone Be Saved?

    What if everyone is eventually saved? Christian universalism teaches that judgment is real, but it isn't necessarily the end. Even those who reject Christ in this life may eventually be reconciled to Him. It's an incredibly comforting idea. But is it actually biblical? Craig and Brandon take a closer look at universalism, the Scriptures used to support it, the problem of free will, what happens after death, and one massive question: Does the Bible ever teach that someone can face judgment and then repent afterward?

    S6 Ep 13: #108 - What If We’ve Been Wrong About Hell?

    Is Hell really a place where people are consciously tormented forever? Or have Christians misunderstood what the Bible means by words like “death,” “destruction,” and “perish”?

    S6 Ep 12: #107 - Can You Follow Jesus and Be a Christian Nationalist?

    Craig and Brandon step into one of the most uncomfortable debates in the American church: can Christians fight for biblical values in government without turning politics into an idol?

    S6 Ep 11: #106 - Christians Have a Trump Problem

    Christians say character matters. But does it still matter when politics gets involved? Craig and Brandon take on the church’s growing credibility problem, including biblical authority, changing cultural morality, church scandals, “casual Christianity,” and the uncomfortable relationship between Christians and Donald Trump. When faith, culture and politics collide, what is the church actually supposed to stand for?

    S6 Ep 10: #105 - Your Elders Aren’t Supposed to Be CEOs.

    What happens when church leaders become better at managing buildings, budgets, and programs than shepherding people? In this episode Brandon Bonner and Craig Allison dig into what biblical leadership is actually supposed to look like. They talk about elders, authority, accountability, ego, servant leadership, cultural pressure, and why being a successful businessman doesn’t automatically make someone a good spiritual leader.

    S6 Ep 9: #104 - What If Your Church Hurt Isn’t Actually Church Hurt?

    Does every bad experience at church qualify as church hurt? In this episode, Craig and Brandon step into one of the most uncomfortable conversations happening in Christianity today. Why are people leaving churches after being offended? Are younger generations more sensitive, or are older generations failing to understand what they're looking for?

    S6 Ep 8: #103 - Is America Racist? What the Bible Actually Says About Race

    Racism. Slavery. Politics. National pride. These are the kinds of subjects that can turn a conversation into a fight almost instantly. But what happens when you strip away the politics and actually ask what the Bible says? In this episode, Craig and Brandon tackle one of their most uncomfortable conversations yet. Is America fundamentally racist? Can someone be racist without realizing it? Does the Bible condone slavery? And has race, politics, or even patriotism become an identity that Christians place above Christ?
