Equipoise

What is information control? How is it done? Is it ever okay? What's the alternative? Have a listen!

This is not an episode. It counts for nothing. But you're still welcome to listen.

Here's an unplanned third part to this series that I thought was needful.

Today, we cover the second half of the refrain that we began dissecting last week. Have a listen!

You know the song: read your Bible, pray every day, and you'll grow, grow, grow. The inverse is offered as well, with the promise of shrinking! But is this children's song true? Or should it be discarded? Or...is there a balance?

What's in a name? Turns out, there's a lot. Maybe more than we'd like to think!

Well, it's here -- the 100th episode, for better or for worse. This is simply a recapping episode. Thanks for enduring me these last two years or so. Here's to many more.

In this episode, I shine a light on the need for specifics rather than sweeping generalizations or excoriations.

Earlobe piercings aren't really disputed in most Christian circles, at least on women. But what about the other kinds of piercings? And what about men? Does the Bible say anything about this? How does culture play into this issue? Have a listen!

What does it mean that "God's Word will never return void?"

It's Pride Month in the U.S., so what does this mean for Christians? How should we respond?

In this episode, I follow up on my prior episode with a discussion of the word "Independent" as it relates to ecclesiological nomenclature.

In this episode, I take a look at the word "fundamental" and "fundamentalist" and see where it comes from, what it means today, and how we can exercise caution around this term.

We've talked about what the Disability Dilemma is, and we've tackled the objection of malingerers, but...what now? Have a listen. https://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

Is everyone on disability simply because they're lazy or fraudsters? Well, that sort of thing does happen, but maybe not as much as you think. Have a listen! https://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

This is the first in three episodes defining and addressing the "Disability Dilemma" in the United States. https://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

*Sorry about the audio quality on this one. Apparently Darth Vader was chilling out behind me in my temporary studio. When I get back to my normal studio space, I'm sure this will be remediated.*

In this episode, I try to bring some corrective balance toward the notion of Baptist successionism, or, as popularized by one pastor in his series of lectures-turned-booklet, "The Trail of Blood."

This is an episode in which I discuss Christians' various responses to culture, and then move to illustrate culture in a way that helps us see it as something not to be defeated, but transformed by the Gospel.

...Doesn't mean it should. :)

In this episode, I talk about heuristics, which are basically pathways in the brain that think for us. Think of it as "thinking on autopilot." These can be good or bad, depending on how they're trained and restrained. I hope this helps you today!

In this short update, I provide a bit of a road map as to where we're going this season, and I also confess the need for a couple of course-corrections.

How can we listen to those who've gone before us who either didn't "have it all together" or -- worse -- who advocated for outright sins? How should we respond? I hope this episode helps you.

We are living in what one man has called a "Strange New World." Others perhaps see it as an "Animal Farm." What's going on and how do we respond? I hope this brief episode is a help to you.

It's all in the title this time, folks. Hope this lighthearted episode is a help.
