    451. Can We Seek After God, or Does He Seek Us?

    Do people seek God, or do people just have a God-shaped hole in their heart that makes them look for "god substitutes"? Tyler and Andrew address this and listen to a 90's Plumb song.

    449. Should Christians Watch The Chosen?

    449. Should Christians Watch The Chosen?

    Tyler and Andrew dive into the popular tv show, The Chosen. Should Christians watch a dramatization of the life of Christ, or should viewers stay away? If Christians shouldn't, does that mean Christians shouldn't watch The Passion of the Christ and things like it?

    448. The Veil Was Torn, The Earth Shook and Others Were Raised From The Dead?

    448. The Veil Was Torn, The Earth Shook and Others Were Raised From The Dead?

    Ben and Tyler reflected on the A29 conference they were just at. They also answered a listener's question on Matthew 27. Why does it seem like preachers gloss over the fact that there were others raised from the dead during the death of Jesus Christ?

After binging on this podcast

It's been a great way to get to know the church I have decided to become a part of. To get the full benefit you really have to think as you listen - you've got two pastors who share the most important beliefs, but then are willing to disagree and discuss, including changing one or both of their minds in later episodes.

I only have one complaint. I've always been susceptible to earworms, and for a recent Lyrical Analysis segment, they played a catchy song with annoying lyrics. Now it is difficult to get out of my head. If you are a victim of earworms as well, you might skip episode 180.

But seriously, as I've listened to this podcast, I've learned, I've changed my mind, I've had confirmation bias (God's love is NOT reckless), and everything in between.

Now that I am caught up and listening to one episode a week, I look forward to submitting questions and thoughts for discussion.

Totally Solid Content

Love listening to the podcast. The content is solid stuff with grounded theology & a bit of humor throw in for free. I’ve been a listener from the start...You might say I’m one of the “Mom’s” since I am of the age to be Tyler’s Mom & almost old enough to be Andrew’s (which is a crazy thought) but hopefully my review still counts 😉😂 Keep up the great work!
