    A Raw Conversation about Rock and Roll: Brian Zahnd and Jay Newman

    This is a different sort of TITR episode. Just three dudes (but mainly Jay and Brian) bantering around about Rock and Roll. Brian Zahnd is a pastor and writer. Jay Newman is a pitmaster and BBQ artist. Both are avid students of music, specifically Rock and Roll, as you'll see. I love Rock and Roll and love the history behind it all. As far as theology goes, we don't really talk about a theology of music, but Jay does give a rather brilliant overview of why Rock music is theologically necessary toward the end of our conversation. Artists we discuss include Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Rush, Elvis, U2, Nirvana, Eric Clapton, Motley Cru, and many others that I can't remember.  -- If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!

    Culture, the Election, and Rethinking Christian Community in a Digital Age: Paul VanderKlay

    Paul is a Failed Calvinist Minister. He actually is a very faithful and thoughtful CRC pastor, who is a theological cultural critic who brings to bear loads of pastoral and theological wisdom to his ongoing analysis of our cultural moment. This conversation is very wide ranging, as we discuss the post-election period and how the church can navigate our very unique--and in many ways, groundbreaking--historical situation.  -- If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!

    Bonus Q&A: How Can American Masculinity Benefit From Diverse Cultural Perspectives, and More!

    0:00 Introduction 1:53 Will we be naked in heaven?   8:42 Are there any ways that you observe American masculinity norms would benefit from a more diverse cultural perspective? 12:47 Who do you think wrote Hebrews? 14:20 What is your view of David and Bathsheba--rape rather than consensual? Couldn't she have resisted? 16:52 I am happy and flourishing in our church. My spouse is not. What do we do? 19:20 John 15:3...we're not called to be like Christ in this way right? What are your thoughts? 23:22 Do you have suggestions for how to talk to a spouse who gets hostile with key topics when genuine curiousity increases tension and elicits confrontational responses? 27:55 Old earth or young earth? 30:11 Thoughts on Luigi Mangione and the national response? Babylon seems like they want to free him. Is motive important? 33:13 Solomon's great wisdom didn't help him in the end. Shouldn't we read it through the lense that Solomon wandered from God? 36:51 Leviticus 17 prohibits eating blood. Jesus tells us to drink his blood. Can you reconcile this? 38:16 How did Christ's incarnation, death and resurrection change anything besides the need for the sacrifice? There's still so much injustice and suffering in the world. 42:08 "Leadership" has different secular and biblical meanings. Does the word "authority" differ in the Bible as well? 45:43 The new church I attended had a kids service with raffle and door prizes--it felt "icky."
