That Jesus Podcast

Today: A conversation about the so-called New Apostolic Reformation. But first, Titus complains about boogeymen and shares a supernatural experience of his own.  The original discussion with Joel Nisly and Dru was hosted by Strength to Strength, a community that seeks to advance the Kingdom through sharing teaching, convos, and testimonies. Check out the full program - with Q/A - right here:...

We discussed Titus' experience of revival at Kingdom Fellowship Weekend, the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, Biden's blasphemies, and more. Then we were joined by a few of our friends--Emily Smucker, Kristi Mast, Tim Kuepfer, and Jon Quesenberry--to hear about their devotional lives. Also, you will get a chance to hear Titus sing a powerful line of anointed CCM music. 

Dru and Titus provide empowering thought leadership around superstition, lightning strikes, and the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Then, Stephen Russell shares his journey from Catholicism to embracing non-violence and joining the Beachy Amish.  Steve's book: https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Evil-Gods-Way-Nonresistance/dp/0981656900/ref=sr_1_2?

If you ever get past deciphering the title you are in for a real treat today. Our friends Rebekah and Christopher joined us to push back on Titus' insensitivity in the last episode. We went long, just like your deconstruction should (unless you believe in reconstruction like Dru). Check out our sponsors: creativedesignsbyfern.com

Dru thinks it's serious, sometimes healthy, and rooted in French philosophers. Titus thinks it's a silly fad. But both of us think we should all spend more time praying together in New York City. Listen in as we share our stories of deconstruction. 

Titus sits down with his long-time friend, Jon, to talk about what it looks like when the presence of God saturates a Christian community. Check out Jon's book! https://presencebasedcommunity.com/freebook Also, go give some love to our sponsors: https://www.creativedesignsbyfern.com

Hope you're hungry for a conversation about fasting. Emily Smucker joins us to reflect on what the Bible says about fasting and how it can draw us away from the capitalistic gluttony of American culture toward God.  Check out Emily's blog and writing here.

In this final episode in our series on sex and gender, Dru and Lisl have a (mostly) unscripted conversation about God's good design for sex. Learn about the sex lives of camel drivers and whether sex is more like glue or a crescent wrench. 

Our latest episode tackles an extremely sensitive topic: transgender. We were thrilled to be joined by Dr. Preston Sprinkle to discuss some of the ideas in his latest book on the topic. Rebekah Mui also shared a bit at the end about how her story intersects with this conversation. It's a loaded episode, and you won't want to miss it!

We decided to take a break from our series on sexuality and gender to hear from Brother E about the current COVID-19 crisis in Asia. 

There are few things more antithetical to Christ-following than the abuse of another for one's own pleasure. Yet sexual abuse is common across all religious groups, including Anabaptists. On today's episode, Hope Ann Dueck of A Better Way shares practical, pointed counsel for fighting this scourge.  A Better Way can be found at their website, abetterway.org . You can also contact them at thei...

We live in a world that is saturated with pornography. Studies show that in our churches men especially are addicted to porn at alarming rates. Asher Witmer and Tim Kuepfer join us to share about their experiences and offer wisdom on how to overcome this vice and live with sexual integrity.

Today we are starting our series on sex and gender! Our first guest is someone we have both followed for a while--Dr. Preston Sprinkle. Preston lays out some of the problems with what Dru calls the purity industrial complex and helps us frame the conversation in a more healthy way.

Dru has a bit of nuance to add to the vaccine discussion and Titus is becoming a monk (sort of). 

Conservative Christians are the least likely faith demographic to get the COVID vaccination. Is this damaging our witness and contributing to the persistence of the pandemic? Dr. Finny Kuruvilla joins us to share the science behind the vaccines and debunk some common misconceptions.   Article on efficacy and safety of Pfizer vaccine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056...

Dru and Patrick sit down with an old friend, Keith Yates ("Bear"). Listen in as Bear reflects on favorite hymns, friendship, and devotion to Christ.  Bear has worked with young people for decades, laughing, mentoring, and modeling passionate love for Jesus.

Titus and Dru interrogate each other on recent church experiences, and determine, once and for all, what the perfect church should look like.

What does it look like to take the New Testament - even the confusing bits - seriously? Today, a conversation on the practice and meaning of 1 Corinthians 11.2-18. We explore this symbol of authority and power - power to live out Christ's Kingdom in our words and prayers. Featuring Brenna, Kimberly, Lisl, and Rebekah. 

Brenna joined Titus to talk to Chloe Milioni about her involvement in a ministry in Uganda that works to save the lives of babies at risk for abortions. To date, 40 babies have been saved through the work in Kampala, Uganda!

In lieu of our last episode bashing Calvinism, we decided to invite on our favorite Calvinist, Derek Kreider. He shared how he came to adopt the position of Christian nonviolence within the reformed tradition. We then went on to discuss which theological differences are central to the faith and what we can simply agree to disagree on. Derek's podcast: https://thefourthway.transistor.fm/subscribe F...

We nerded out theologically with two Davids who are not big fans of Calvinism. David Eicher ranted about its incoherency and David Pallman responded to some of the proof texts used in its defense. And of course, there were some fantastic dad jokes included as well.   Pallman's show: Faith Because of Reason https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8sTncrKOJtT3J4TEwg7fag Eicher's show: Dank Kingdom Po...
