When Church Stops Working featuring Dr. Andrew Root. A ministry podcast for the Secular Age.

    F*** Isn't F*** Anymore

    F*** Isn't F*** Anymore

    Swear words don't seem to pack the same punch anymore, and Andy thinks it all has to do with the decline of protestantism and the "polite society".  It turns out that this also has some big ministry implications for those of us here in the Secular Age.
    With the topic, this episode features some salty language & swear words. 
    Be sure to grab Andy's book "When Church Stops Working" along with his other books on Amazon or, better yet, your local bookstore.

    Existential Problems in YouTube Kids

    Derek's children are addicted to YouTube Kids and Andy thinks it's all connected to the work of Byung-Chul Han and Martin Heidegger.
