Tension

Religion EN ↓ 106 episodes

Most of life and faith is lived in the tension between the two extremes. On this show, we look at what many of us were taught growing up in evangelical churches, weigh it against what our current culture is saying, and try to find what Jesus has for us in the tension between the two. ------- Tension was called Unlearning Youth Group for the first six seasons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lost sheep, parties, and offending our friends 05.04.2021 32:32

We have our own language inside the Church and it's taught to us starting in youth group. But that language can be offensive to people outside the Church when they hear it. This week we talk about how the words we use to describe people outside our church can keep us from spreading the Gospel and how dangerous the labels we use can be.

Frick you, you frickin frick 15.03.2021 32:17

Christian cuss words! Yep. They're a thing. This week we talk about how we focused on the actual words and not the heart behind the words and how that led to our own set of approved bad words. Show theme song: High School by 90's Kids Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stop drop and roll don't work in hell 08.03.2021 26:52

If you've ever heard the phrase "turn or burn" or been asked if you knew where you were going when you die, this episode is for you. We talk about how we focused on fire insurance instead of a real relationship with Jesus and how that led to fear, anxiety, and a superficial salvation.
