A Boomer and a “Xennial” discuss ways Christians can break past negative stereotypes and become people who interact with people the way Jesus did, even in moments of intense disagreement. Join Brian La Croix (the Boomer) and Josh Latterell (the other guy) as we look at tangible means to reflect the love and concern of Christ for the world around us. On top of discussing timely topics, we also provide great Chuck Norris facts, in the shameless hope he will come across the podcast and be a guest… Now, get off my lawn!!

    46 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 4 - No Courage

    Last episode of this series. We discuss not merely having courage to stand up for Christian values in society, but also having courage to stand up when your "tribe" (political party, etc.), does, sends, or supports something unbiblical - even if you agree with the rest of what they do.

    45 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 3 - No Heart

    Part 3 of this series. In this episode we begin by looking at how evangelical Christians can be viewed as not caring about poverty issues because we're more concerned about things like eradicating abortion. But the fact is that we should be concerned about BOTH, and we can be - without giving up convictions about either. Here are some ways to display that concern.

    44 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 2 - No Brain

    THANKS for your patience as we've had a sporadic publishing schedule of late, due to an unforeseen medical emergency. Lord willing, we'll be back to our regular schedule very soon! Part 2 of this series, this time talking about the need for Christians to be people who use the brain God gave them - and not be duped by others who want to manipulate and use them, especially in the political realm.

    43 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 1 - No Home

    During some sermon research a while back, Brian came across a message from another pastor that referenced "Wizard of Oz Christianity," which talked about various aspects of the Christian life impacting society around us. Josh and Brian take that theme and run with it a bit, hoping to challenge the Church of Jesus to be intentional about having a church home, using the brains God gave us, having a heart for the people around us, and taking courage to speak up and act in ways that honor Christ and bring positive impact.

    42 - DEscriptive vs PREscriptive Scripture

    When Scripture tells of something that happened or that someone did, does that mean WE are supposed to do that or have that happen to US? Not necessarily. In this episode we take a look at four examples of Scripture that people have claimed to be applicable to us, and why that is not handling Scripture correctly.

    41 - A More Biblical Way to View Your Enemies

    Jesus commands us to love our enemies. But later Jesus goes even further in a discussion with a person trying to justify himself in his treatment of others. In this episode, Brian describes what God has been talking to him about when it comes to interacting with people, specifically in the LGBTQ+ community. Hint: they AREN'T enemies!!

    40 - How Should We Respond to Pushback?

    If you let your opinions, thoughts, and beliefs be known, chances are you will receive some pushback from someone who disagrees (unless you only express yourself in the bubble of like-minded people). Sometimes that pushback can be encouraging - when it is done graciously, with the intent of educating you on some point you've missed or hadn't considered. Other times it can be mean-spirited and ugly, just meant to berate. Sometimes it's a mixture of both... Anyhoo...how do we respond in ways that show grace and Christlikeness? That's what we try to tackle today.

    39 - Should We Care What Others Think of Us?

    There is a line of thinking that says Christians shouldn't care what others think of us - particularly in terms of our positions on social/political issues. That we should just stick to the truth, because Christians have always been "hated" for what they believe. However, Scripture very clearly says that a good reputation among those who don't follow Jesus is a must. So how do we balance the two? Do we have to give up convictions for the sake of getting along? Our belief is no - but that our reputations in the community will go a long way to helping us positively influence the people around us.
