Things You Don't Hear in Church

Recently, Netflix dropped a movie that has everyone in an uproar, and rightfully so.  Cuties, a movie supposedly aimed at raising awareness of child sexual exploitation, does just that, and no one is happy about it.   What is an appropriate response for Christians? 

Today we discuss the current cultural climate of politics and how we believe Christians should view it. Obviously, this is a very long conversation and we are only getting our feet wet with today's show.

Ah yes, the subject of pacifism. The idea that all violence is wrong and is never justified.  The question today is, "Where does pacifism fit in the Christian world view, if at all?" Listen in as we discuss this topic and give biblical evidence for why we believe what we do. 

Do you ever look around at our world and see the vast technological advances and think, "Man, if "Terminator" or "Ready Player One" becomes a reality can God still exist?" or are you normal?  This week we have special guest Spencer Lemer on to discuss with Derry how Christianity still reigns true even if the world gets crazier than it is and  A.I. gets too powerful.  

If you're a Christian or grew up with Christian influence, you've probably been told that when you die you'll either go to heaven or hell.  However, is that really true? This week we discuss another view called soul sleep, which if you're like us, you never heard about growing up. 

Have you ever thought that jobs "in the ministry" are "more godly"? Maybe you haven't, and that's okay, but a lot of people have so we thought we'd share our thoughts about it and discuss how we believe God feels about it. 

A continuation of sayings that a lot of Christians grew up with but aren't exactly bible verses.  

Christians say a lot of things, but how much of it is actually biblical? 

A question asked by many with an honest and thoughtful answer. 

Should we stop listening to Biblical characters because they did terrible things? Should we stop appreciating art by those who have raped people? 

Today we discuss individualism vs. collectivism and what God desires from His people.  Changing cultures by changing ourselves. 

Yah know, we could be wrong (not actually) but He definitely doesn't.  Tune in this week as we discuss what Jesus says and where Christians fit into racial reconciliation. 

Yes, it's true! Back and ready to go to the next level! See what the future holds here!

This week we dive into a wonderfully fun topic that a lot, and I mean a lot, of people ask: "Do aliens exist?"  Whether you believe they do or not, we believe this episode will help you think about the topic in a new and refreshing way!

Yes, one of the age-old questions everyone has. Whether you're seriously struggling with this question of talking to someone who has objections to Christianity, it is important to know where you stand on this topic and why.  Join us this week as we discuss different opinions on it and give biblical reasoning for each stance!

Have you ever heard people say, "We need to bring the kingdom here, now!"? and thought, "What in the world does that mean?"  Or have you been reading through the Bible and noticed Jesus say something about it here and there?  Well, we have too and we'd like to take some time to explain our opinions on what it is, and what it is not. 

In recent years there's been new hate towards Thanksgiving so we thought we'd dive in and share our 2 cents because who doesn't want to hear another opinion?  Speaking of opinions, we also share ours around dating and marriage. Enjoy!

This week Derry and Ethan discuss various topics that can be accepted as Christian but, are they?  Why do we do communion the way we do? What about Yoga? Can Christians do it? And what even does "secular" mean? 

Use crystals, tarot cards, or other self-enlightening practices? Then this is for you! This week we cover the New Age, what is it, and its place in our life, enjoy! 

This week we comment on John Crist and how he was caught up in some allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment, discuss Trump pulling out of the Paris Agreement, and finally, we wrap up with explaining what the Prosperity Gospel is, how to spot it, and what Biblical prosperity is. 

In this episode we share testimonies about evangelism and our missions trips, discuss ISIS and the new NCAA laws and finally, we dive into four different paradoxes in the Christian faith! Enjoy!

This week Ethan and Derry discuss Kanye's conversion and his new album, Justin Trudeau's reelection, and the controversies around Christians celebrating Halloween. 

This episode we look at just a few of what people call "contradictory" verses in the bible. 

A lot of people have a hard time understanding what may seem like differences in the nature and character of God.  In this episode, we try to tackle a few of the main questions and give biblical evidence for our stances. 

In this episode, we discuss some topics you guys, our family, have asked! Tune in to hear entertaining, informative, and fresh conversations about things you don't hear in church!
