Despised For Youth Despised For Youth

A Biblical Perspective on Abortion

Back again after a lengthy hiatus. Jonathan and Alec discuss abortion and related topics. Jonathan shares his experience working for Pro Life organizations and advocating for the rights of the unborn. It's a bit heavier than usual. Listener discretion advised, but it's pretty tame. IDK, you tell me.

What We Say About The Church

Alec hosts solo again. Arguments against speaking ill of the church. The Church is both the body of Christ as well as local bodies of believers. Common attacks against the Church we hear nowadays tend to be both unfair and unhelpful. Here is a good 45ish minutes advocating for watching how we portray the Church to nonbelievers and evaluating it with a Biblical lens rather than a worldly one.

Too Much Application

The first solo episode of DFY. Alec talks about the Christian pitfall of emphasizing application of the Bible more than understanding it. A riveting monologue the likes of which Shakespeare wouldn't have dared to write.

Are Missions Culturally Destructive?

Stemming from a recent interaction Grant had with an old friend, this episode's discussion centers around the goal of missions and whether Christianity supersedes culture or converts everything to Western norms and ideals. Not to throw around the "R" word... but this episode gets pretty dang relevant.
