    Should Churches Stop Singing Hillsong, Bethel, and Elevation?

    Can you separate worship songs from the churches and artists behind them? In this episode, we talk about Hillsong, Bethel, Elevation, theological baggage, church scandals, and how worship leaders can choose songs with wisdom instead of fear. We also get into why popular songs are not always the best songs for congregational worship, when a lyric becomes a problem, and why the goal is not to cancel every song but to worship with clarity, honesty, and discernment.

    The Problem of God’s Violence in the Bible

    Many Christians avoid the Old Testament because it raises uncomfortable questions: Did God actually command genocide? Why does God seem violent in the Old Testament but loving in the New? In this episode, we wrestle with biblical violence, hyperbole, ancient literary styles, translation issues, and how Jesus changes the conversation. Hosted on Acast.
