We live in a world where differences of opinion lead to breaks in relationships, where everyone is surrounded by media echo-chambers designed to provoke outrage, and where the culture tells us we must either cancel people or else defend bad behavior. How does the church tackle complicated and controversial issues in such a world? Join the staff & guests of The Well Church in Edmond, OK as we talk about these issues. We know we can't both follow Jesus and run from the conversation, we need to talk.

We Need To Talk About The Truth About Judgement
What does the flood narrative teach us about God? Does God love creation or is he angry and quick to destroy? And what does the flood say about the state of humanity? Are we precious image-bearers or subjects of wrath? While it is one of the more challenging stories in Genesis, the flood tells us the truth about God’s judgment and how the hope is always that it will result in salvation.

We Need To Talk About The Truth About Hatred
When Cain kills his brother he unleashes the power of hatred into the world. And while we may not relate to the impulse to murder, none of us are immune to following the way of Cain. Once we make someone an enemy we naturally fall into blame and eventually we begin to give ourselves over to hateful thoughts and hateful actions. But Jesus has come to set us free from the power of sin so it is no longer our master. As he does this he teaches us that yes, we are one another’s keeper, and when we remember this we stop seeing others as enemies.

We Need To Talk About The Truth About Sin
The idea of sin has become highly individualized in the Western Church. Many believe that sin is all about the bad choices individuals make and the consequences that come as a result. But the truth about sin is that it is cosmic. Its effects can be seen in all of creation. God is the initiator of our salvation. Because of Jesus, we are free from the bonds of sin. In Jesus, humanity is restored.

We Need To Talk About The Truth About Humanity
We are made in the image of God, and Genesis tells us what that means:
We are created to govern (like God)
We are essentially communal (like God)
We are foundationally good (like God)
Jesus fixes what we break - by God becoming human.
Join us in this deep dive on what it means to be created in the image of God.
Customer Reviews
A timely and necessary listen
It’s so refreshing to see a body of believers and leaders who are not afraid to dive into such tender and sensitive topics with such grace and love. This podcast is a much needed conversation about how to hold different beliefs and continuing to love our neighbor well. They show us it’s ok to have well-formed convictions or also be in the messy middle. Well worth a listen!
Yes!
Did you ever feel like you didn’t belong in church because you had questions? This is the podcast for you. This is the most welcoming group of church leaders I have ever encountered. Listen and learn!
Deception and lies
This started out decently but has turned into a liberal woke podcast with views that differ from the word of God. These leaders need to repent.
