A podcast about belief, un-belief and everything in between. Hosts Scott Trout (a Christian from America) and Joey Vervaart (an Agnostic from the Netherlands) come from two different worlds, yet they believe in the power of conversations. Here they seek to give space for people to share their stories of faith (or lack thereof) and how those beliefs are lived out. They are hoping that through the back and forth of differing ideas, better ideas can emerge, promoting greater dialogue between those who believe in God and those who don't.

    Volatility in marriage. Being forced to go to counseling. Taking each other for granted, but fighting their way out of it and surviving only because of their faith. Welcome to the nitty gritty of Scott and Briana Trout's marriage. This is a new thread on the Between Two Worlds podcast where host Scott Trout and his wife Briana are interviewed by someone else to try to bring to life their beliefs and how it impacts their day to day life.

    48. A Message of Guilt or Love? Dutch Atheist on Reading the Bible for the First Time-- Luuk Elkhuizen Part Two

    "You will die as bad people if you do not believe in me" Jesus in the Book of John. Is the Bible more a book about guilt or a book about love? Scott's Dutch Neighbor, Third Generation Agnostic, Luuk Elkhuizen sits down with Scott after reading the book of John to share the things he likes about Christianity and the things he doesn’t like. Also discussed is the difference between how the Bible describes justice and how Western society describes justice. Lastly, Scott shares quotes collected from those who think there is value in being religious. For people of faith, how would you describe the message of the Bible? For agnostics and atheists, do you think it is bad to judge people and call them a bad person? Follow us and DM us your answers on Instagram @betweentwoworldspodcast

    47. God, The Universe, or Love: Dutch Atheist on Who Do We Say Thank You To?-- Luuk Elkhuizen Part One

    Dutch People Don't Talk about Their Spiritual Beliefs, But It's Starting to Change. Is the Universe Governed by an Unknown Force Called Love or the God of Christianity? Third generation Dutch atheist-- Luuk Elkhuizen joins Scott to talk about how religion was never on his mind growing up... until now. Dutch society is so secularized that many young people are becoming increasingly curious about if there is a God and specifically what Christianity is all about. Luuk found it hard to find someone who actually believes in Christianity growing up. Now Luuk has started to read the Bible with Scott and is coming up with his own opinion about who Jesus was and what the Bible is all about. For people of faith, how would you articulate what it means to live by love? For agnostics and atheists, do you think there is a new feedback loop happening in society with so many not being religious? Follow us and DM us your answers on Instagram @betweentwoworldspodcast

    42. Celibacy as a Spaghetti Western Catholic-- Paul Graas (Part 1)

    Celibate Christian, Catholic Historian, and Leader in an Opus Dei Residence in Amsterdam, Paul Graas join Scott on the podcast to discuss Catholicism and his journey of discovering his personal vocation to join Opus Dei and live a life of celibacy. He has a Spanish mom and a Dutch dad with six siblings. He grew up in a Calvinist primary school in the Bible Belt of the Netherlands, then Catholic high school in the southern tip of Spain, in a town where spaghetti westerns were filmed, then back to the Netherlands for his university days. He operates often in between the two Catholic and Protestant worlds. This gives Paul a unique ability to articulate Catholic doctrine in ways that Protestants can relate to. He is also a published author, a co-host on the Dutch podcast Goed, Beter, Best, and an expert on character formation and spirituality, especially on topics concerning the digital world, like social media, porn, screens, etc. Paul's Personal Vocation: Paul got a personal call from when he was 16 to truly give his life to God. He calls it his personal vocation to join the Catholic order called Opus Dei. But what it involved was living a life of celibacy. He confronts the feeling that celibacy is a curse Christians put on other people whose sexuality is not condoned in the Bible. His story shows that celibacy is a gift God can give to some and that the brothers he lives with in Opus Dei bring him fulfillment. Find Paul on Linkedin Order his book at https://deboog-uitgeverij.nl/product/voor-de-christen-die-mens-wil-worden/ In Paul's Part Two Paul has some hard-hitting things to say for Protestants and for non-Christians. You will come away from these episodes feeling challenged and curious about just how wrong your Catholic stereotypes were. Questions for the Community: What stereotypes do you have of Catholicism? Do you feel like Celibacy is a gift or a curse? What does someone need romantically to live a fulfilled life?
