    PT feat Art of Growth • S3E13

    Your Enneagram type is not who you are—it’s where you start." Today on Pocket Theology, we’re joined by Joel Hubbard and Jim Zartman of The Art of Growth to discuss why self-awareness is crucial for following Jesus. We tackle the tough questions: Why are many Christians resistant to personality tools? What is "spiritual bypassing," and how do we use religious language to avoid doing our inner work? From Jason’s journey as a Type 7 to Leah’s experience as a Type 5, we explore how opening our eyes to our "default settings" allows us to encounter God’s grace in the places we usually try to hide. Whether you're an Enneagram nerd or a skeptic, this conversation is an invitation to move from "propositional knowledge" about God to a "participatory relationship" with Him. Highlights include: • The Purity Mindset: Why we obsess over origins and miss the truth that belongs to God. • Hunters, Farmers, & Teamers: A look at the instincts that nuance our personality. • The Way of the Cross vs. The Sword: Why picking up your cross means releasing your need for superiority.

    Discipled by social media • S3E12

    Is the constant stream of global tragedy and social media comparison literally re-wiring our brains? Today on Pocket Theology, Jason, Jaden, and special guest Amanda Farmer tackle the "biocschosocial" phenomenon of modern stress. We’re diving into the heavy stuff—suicidal ideation among teens, the "body morphing" trends of digital identity, and the rise of AI as a tool for therapy and theology. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We discuss: • The "Purist Movement": Why kids are returning to paper Bibles, highlighters, and analog spaces. • Redeeming the Feed: How creators like Forest Frank and Bryce Crawford are using social media for the Gospel. • Rhythms of Grace: Moving away from "subjective truth" and back toward the timeless traditions of the church. Stay tuned for a hilarious debate on "Hot Pocket Theology" (think Hot Ones, but with scalding pizza snacks) and a look at why we need to be a "non-anxious presence" when the world feels like a crazy train.

    Art v Artist • S3E10

    What happens when the people we look up to fail? Today on Pocket Theology, Jason and Jaden go "old school" to tackle the tough stuff: the fall of purity-culture icons, the controversy of celebrity pastors, and the messy reality of 1 Corinthians 5. We’re discussing how to balance justice with redemption and why character matters more than charisma. Come for the laughs about "bell boy" etiquette, stay for a serious look at what it means to be a hospital for the broken.

    Reconciliation • S3E9

    Is there a difference between forgiving someone and letting them back into your life? Today on Pocket Theology, we’re tackling a tough listener question: How do we reconcile with abusive or unsafe people? We dive into the theology of boundaries, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and why your safety matters to God. Stick around for a much-needed laugh as we celebrate Jaden’s new baby and discuss why "theology" should make us better humans.

    How do we handle failure? • S3E7

    Is failure a sign to stop, or just part of the process? Today on Pocket Theology, Jason dives into Acts 14-15 to look at how Paul and Barnabas handled rejection and "failure" on the mission field. We’re discussing how to overcome discouragement and distraction when things don’t go as planned. Join us for a fun, honest chat on finding the courage to keep seeking the heart of God!
