    A review and application of the book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals our Way to Healing

    This is not a PG episode! Definitely have a parent or guardian listen to this before you if you're under 18. But Jay Stringer's book, Unwanted, is the most helpful that I have found on the topic of finding freedom from unwanted sexual behavior. If you've found yourself longing for freedom from unwanted sexual behavior but haven't found anything to work, I highly recommend this book. We hope our conversation is helpful for you in your journey towards wholeness in Christ!

    Evil doesn't exist

    Yep, you heard that right. Listen through the end to understand what we mean when we say that evil doesn't exist. Articles: https://www.str.org/w/augustine-on-evil-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absence_of_good https://digitalcommons.calvin.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1008&context=religion_beets This is called the "Privation Theory of Evil" and has been around for a very long time. So if you want to dive deeper into this topic, I suggest a Google search with the quotations above. What you'll find is that a lot of Christians believe this and it is rational and biblical. Though no theory is perfect, I think it makes the most sense of the data of 1) what we experience and 2) what the Bible teaches about God. At the end of the day, I think it's right, but this isn't a salvation issue. We can agree to disagree on this and it is totally okay.

    Does the Bible really restrict gay marriage?

    This episode is a recording of a recent high school lesson. For those of you who know me, I hope you'll find the title provocative! Don't send angry emails until you've listened to the whole thing, okay? Much love!

    The Power of God to Change, Fighting Sin, Leadership, and Music: A PG-13 Interview with Nate Holder

    An incredible conversation with Nate Holder that we had a while back but have just now managed to get it published. There are some more PG-13 themes in Nate's testimony (hence the title). But, wow, such an incredible story of God's grace in Nate's life. Thanks again to Nate for being on the show. Enjoy!

    Weird stuff: The Flood

    There's some weird stuff around the flood in Genesis. A simple reading of the text would make you think that it's a total, global flood. But there are others who say it was more localized. But there's more! The text itself isn't so simple.

    Is Genesis Literal?

    This episode may just begin a series on weird stuff in the Bible. It's so easy to interpret the Bible in ways that erase all the weird stuff, but there's plenty weird stuff that won't fit into the interpretations that we've made for ourselves. For instance, is Genesis 1–2 actually a literal, 6-day (24-hour day) creation? Or what about Cain freaking out over these people that will want to kill him after he is exiled? Where did they come from? Weird stuff!
