Part 2 - End of the World as We Know It (An End Times Conversation)
As we examine current events in Israel, many people are asking, "Is this the end times?"
How can we comprehend the end times? Will Israel play a role in the unfolding of the end times? How have Christ-followers understood the end times throughout history? What is unique about American Christianity and its main view of the end times?
In this episode, we go deeper into this discussion. We spend a good portion of the time on Daniel 9.
Join Zach and David in this pertinent discussion.

Worship Music: Authentic Expression or Emotional Manipulation? - 11
A few months ago, there was much conversation online around "Beef" on Netflix, which featured a moment where the character Danny Cho enters a church while the worship team leads the congregation in worship, and he is moved to tears. Zach and David had a discussion about this moment and how it has sparked scrutiny around worship music. Here is that conversation in podcast form.
Join Zach and David for a thought-provoking discussion on whether worship music fosters genuine spiritual expression or if it can sometimes be a tool for emotional manipulation.

Interpreting Scripture: Navigating Disagreements on Women's Pastoral Roles and Other Biblical Positions - 10
The Southern Baptist Convention has recently expelled Saddleback Church for hiring a female teaching pastor and now has a list of churches within their denomination that also have female pastors.
How should we approach this issue? What does the Bible say? If you believe women can be pastors, does that mean we are not being Biblical?
How can we foster harmony and love amidst our differences?
Join us for this conversation that we hope is helpful and informative!

Compassion and education
So so so good! After growing up in a restrictive fundamental background, I almost lost my faith when I found out so many things I learned were just wrong. Finding this podcast helped me look at faith from a different angle. Even just shifting to a different viewpoint helped me so much. Informative and compassionate!
Entertaining and informative
Awesome chemistry between these guys. Listed episode 6 and really appreciated the breakdown of the information behind the apocalyptic movement and how these men formed their initial eschatological framework. Looking forward to more content.
