I caught up with an old friend after 16 years and he recounts his upbringing in the same church I grew up in. In youth group together, Matt was "on fire for Christ."

It’s been doubted, attacked, and even devalued a good bit on our show so we bring Chris Date from Rethinking Hell Podcast to defend biblical inerrancy and explain why it’s so dag gum important.

Jared and Joey catch up with Toby and get his thoughts on the Godless Hangup from last week and Joey starts a new segment to tackle three common phrases that Christians like to use. He’s a bit annoyed by these darn things, but hides it well. Do you say these things? Maybe you should rethink them. Maybe not. The music used for Joey’s new segment is from Oddisee’s “Odd Seasons” album and is called “...

And we don’t get our chip/godless conversation after all. The plan was to have a discussion about God between our “in house” Pastor and counselor Chip Judd and one of our favorite atheists, Godless. Things go awry and the conversation ends before it begins. Chip, Jared and Joey end up discussing what in the hell happened to set Godless off like that before ending the episode with some tame topics...

Having a depressed spouse, smoking weed for maximized worship, killing yourself as a shortcut to heaven, our listeners asked questions and Chip had answers. Chip Judd, a Pastor at Seacoast Church has a Masters Degree in counseling, 12,000 hours of experience, and apparently a call from God himself to counsel others like it’s going out of style. He also travels to different churches, helping to imp...

Our guests both find it puzzling that throughout all eternity God has a place reserved for people that He will never move towards redemption. Isn’t God always good? Does He lose something if a sect of his creation isn’t redeemed once and for all? If God is a tyrant, let’s all hope for the best. Is there more than meets the eye? Shouldn’t all Christians at least hope that all are saved? No thought...

We talk to non-trump supporter Jack Hoey (the father) and Trump-Supporter, Kerry Haplin (KJV Guy) about how Trump pulled off the miracle of being a frontrunner in the presidential race, we discussed his chances at winning, and what major changes are in store for America with a Trump presidency. Is he trustworthy? Could he bring a deconstruction to the ineffective politics we all have trouble belie...

Chris Russo, pastor at Seacoast Church lost his mom to cancer early in life and has managed to avoid truly dealing with it until over twenty years later. How does this happen? Is anyone to blame? How is a child affected by losing a parent early in life? Why not ask an adult who experienced it. Only he isn’t sure himself.
