    TBSP #28 Responding to James Talarico sermon on Christian Nationalism

    In this episode of the Bible Speaks podcast, host Brian discusses a video sermon by James Tellerico, sent in by a listener. Brian plays clips from the sermon and provides his perspective from a biblical standpoint. He addresses various statements made by Tellerico, including the importance of personal faith, the concept of Christian nationalism, and the characteristics of Jesus. Brian also highlights the exclusivity of Christianity, the liberation and control of Jesus, and the misconception of Jesus starting a universal movement. He concludes by discussing the co-opting of Jesus' name for political agendas and the potential hypocrisy in Tellerico's own sermon. Brian agrees with some of Talarico's points, such as the fact that the United States was not founded as a Christian nation and that there is a movement within the church that identifies more with nationalism than with Jesus. However, Brian disagrees with Talarico on several issues, including the exclusivity of Christianity, the role of Jesus in controlling our lives, and the idea that Christians should refuse to participate in finances, the economy, or the military.

    TBSP#27 Young Women Leaving the Church in droves! How the Church Has Misunderstood Women in Ministry

    In this episode, Brian and Daniel discuss the trend of young women leaving the church, particularly in Generation Z, due to issues such as gender hierarchies, lack of women in leadership roles, expectations of chastity, and the church's positions on reproductive rights and LGBTQ issues. Brian and Daniel make a Biblical case against the concept of a senior pastor and emphasize the importance of following Jesus rather than a human leader. They caution against person worship and encourage self-reflection on the reasons for attending a particular congregation. Brian discusses the role of women in leadership positions in the church. He explains that women are not allowed to take up the position of pastor in conservative churches due to the interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12. Brian refutes the argument that this restriction only applied to a specific church or time period, stating that it is based on the creation order and the actions of Adam and Eve. He emphasizes the need for strong male leadership in the church and suggests that the lack of such leadership may be a reason why women are leaving the church. Brian also briefly addresses the issue of LGBTQ+ individuals leaving the church, stating that if they disagree with the teachings of the church, they should leave rather than trying to change the religion to fit their beliefs.
