Christian Podcast Taking On Big Issues
Y’all should interview Carl Trueman, author of the Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self!
I appreciate that you guys are trying to take on the big issues, but sometimes it can seem like an echo-chamber. Some of the language used in the latest episode (King’s Letter from Birmingham), and just generally the language surrounding the issue of race in America is pretty divisive and I don’t think it was handled well on this podcast in particular. The term “white fragility” is actually racist. This type of language is by its very nature intended to exclude white people who have dissenting opinions. If you want to start a conversation, it is a good idea to stop using terms like this. I say this as a fellow believer in the saving grace of Jesus Christ available to all people, and also as a big fan of the podcast. 5 stars because I am grateful for the thought provoking discussion and christian perspectives.
Good stuff
The absolutely only problem with this podcast is that they post episodes every other week. 2 per week would be DOPE! #wishfulthinking
Tackling topics I care about
I’m always on the lookout for new podcast especially ones who take a look at Christianity and tackle difficult topics and questions. Most Christian podcasts can be either too cheesy, to agreeable, or too technical that I get lost. This podcast does a good job of taking on ideas that aren’t simple and addressing them in a way that challenges you and also helps you learn. They do all of this while remaining entertaining and not being cheesy. Keep up the great work everyone!!!!
