Q&R Podcast

Today, we’re talking about something every single person is facing, but almost no one wants to admit they’re afraid of: aging. We live in a culture obsessed with wellness. Healthspan. Longevity. Skincare. Fitness. Supplements. Optimization. And none of those things are bad. But somewhere along the way, caring for our bodies became a way of trying to outrun the fact that our bodies are changing. We...

This month's question is pretty straightforward: Why are Christians so judgmental? That reputation didn’t appear out of nowhere. For many, it came from real experiences — conversations that felt more like correction than care, moral debates that felt like condemnation, and churches that unsafe for those struggling. So in this episode, we’re not asking how to protect Christianity’s image. We’re ask...

The Q&R podcast exists to ask the questions that many are thinking—but few feel safe enough to say out loud. And today, we’re talking about something that has started to feel discouraging for so many people: dating. In a world of endless options and constant swiping, more and more people are realizing—they’re exhausted. Tired of the apps. Tired of the ambiguity. Tired of feeling like everyone...

Today’s question is one that sits heavy in our culture and in many of our lives: Is marriage still worth it? We live in a time when people are marrying later—or not at all. Divorce rates are high. And even among Christians, many couples are emotionally checked out but staying together out of duty, fear, or confusion. In this episode, we’re not romanticizing marriage and we’re also not throwing it...

The Q&R Podcast is back and today, we’re talking about something that’s become a quiet crisis for so many: friendship. In a culture that’s deeply lonely but constantly online, more and more people are realizing—they have no one to call. No one who really knows them. No one who stays when things get messy. Friendship has become fragile, performative, and rare. And yet we were made for it—spirit...

Last month, something happened that shook the foundations of our country. Charlie Kirk, a polarizing conservative activist, was assassinated at a speaking event on a college campus. In the hours afterward, the finger‑pointing began: the left blamed the right, the right blamed the left and all of social media went into an uproar. In a moment, this charged we need to slow down and ask a harder quest...

The Q&R Podcast is designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others. This month, we’re talking about a question that’s deeply personal for so many people:   Can prayer cure your mental health? If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety or depression—or walked alongside someone who has—you’ve probably heard some version of “just pray about it.” And while that’s often well-meaning...

The Q&R Podcast is designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others. Today we’re stepping into a conversation that can feel really tender, especially for those who’ve been deeply hurt. Forgiveness. For some, forgiveness has felt like betrayal—like being asked to minimize what happened, move on too quickly, or pretend something didn’t cause real pain.  Especially when the ot...

The Q&R Podcast is back, and this month we’re taking on one of the most challenging and uncomfortable topics: Does the Bible condone slavery? It’s a serious and deeply personal question, and it’s often used as a reason to reject Christianity altogether. After all, if the Bible really supports slavery, how could we trust it  as a source of moral authority?  But before we jump to conclusions, we...

Our Q&R Podcast is for the seeker and skeptic in all of us, designed to create a posture of curiosity about  ourselves and others.  Today, we’re going to tackle a question that we will all face at one point or another in our lives.

Today, we’re going to tackle perhaps the most relevant question that is on everyone’s mind for the next couple of weeks. How should we handle politics? We live in one of the most polarizing times in United States history, and the hostility in the political landscape can be felt everyday on social media. It’s clear that the way we interact with politics as a culture does not work, so is there a bet...

Over the last couple of months, we’ve been exploring a series of interconnected questions. We first asked, "Aren’t all religions the same?" and then moved on to "Why should we trust the Bible?" last month. Our next topic follows naturally: addressing objections to the church. In this episode, we’ll discuss the mass exodus from the church, why so many people are turned off by what they’ve seen, and...

Last month, we tackled a big question: Aren’t all religions the same? During that episode, we discussed the case for Christianity and received a lot of feedback, especially objections to the Bible and the church. So this month, we’re diving into another crucial question: Why should we trust the Bible? Today, the Bible’s authority in America is at an all-time low, partly due to misconceptions about...

Last month on the Q&R Podcast, we tackled one of the loudest narratives in our culture: this idea of my truth vs. your truth. In Episode 4, we aim to build on that by engaging the question “Aren’t all religions the same?” In recent years, our culture has moved away from organized religion, and this question is getting asked more frequently. As we’ll learn, part of the problem is that many peop...

In Episode 3 of the Q&R Podcast, we tackle perhaps the hottest topic in today's culture: my truth vs. your truth. In recent years, it's become almost offensive to claim that there is an objective truth, which touches many important areas of life like religion, sexuality and gender. In this conversation, we discuss how to navigate a challenging cultural landscape and the importance of curiosity...

In Episode 2 of the Q+R Podcast, we tackle one of the most pressing questions of our day: how could God allow suffering? This isn't just a philosophical question, but a personal one, because all of us will experience some form of suffering in our lives. When we are in pain or grief or loss, at times we can't fathom how a good God could allow such a thing to happen.  In this conversation, we tackle...

In Episode 1 of the Q+R Podcast, we start with what we believe is the most foundational question of live: does God exist? Knowingly or unknowingly, how all of us answer this question dictates how we live. Believers and unbelievers alike. In this conversation, we review the objective, subjective and philosophical arguments for (and against) God's existence. THE Q+R PODCAST: At Redeemer LSQ, we valu...
