We Should Know Better (fka Bros, Bibles & Beer)

Religion EN ↓ 283 episodes

Welcome to the We Should Know Better Podcast (fka Bros, Bibles & Beer)!We believe that exploring the depths of faith, theology, and culture shouldn't feel like sitting through a dry lecture. Whether we're dissecting complex scripture or discussing how faith intersects with modern life, we do it with honesty, humor, and the realization that—honestly—we should probably know better by now. Join us for unfiltered conversations that challenge the mind without losing the heart (or the sense of humor).

33. Inerrancy Is Overrated 17.10.2016

(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55dcffbae4b066bafafb6faa/58045933c534a545e0f3eb10/580459359de4bbffc41a4fdc/1476679991605/IMG_20161008_142349.jpg?format=1500w) Recorded on a brief road trip to Arizona! Andy Stanley (leader of perhaps America's largest church) has caused quite the kerfuffle in evangelical circles regarding biblical authority.  Different opinions abound. Plus Zack may be a na...

32. Science Mike McHargue (The Definitive Conversation) 24.09.2016

Ever wonder what the Apostle Peter's last meal was? Could it include bacon? Jeff knows. Also the official tagline of the BBB may have be born and you may consider staying past the "credits". Oh...And then there's... (http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5005b235c4aa8b4d9760fd8b/54c275d2e4b03dfa2a28bf6e/54c275d6e4b03dfa2a28bf83/1422030299963/Mike+McHargue+Headshot+Glass.jpg?format=2500w)...

31. Jonathan Collins (Beauty and the Beastmaster) 17.09.2016

(http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55dcffbae4b066bafafb6faa/57dcdd5eb3db2b3c78627d55/57dcdd603e00be77ca9b9b69/1474092388024/IMG_20160822_211924.jpg?format=1000w) Entrepreneurial. Missional. Athletical? All things that describe Jonathan Collins. But was he wearing too many hats? Tech start-ups, being on the cusp of the olympic team as a decathlete, being Zest's Most Adventurous Man. It's all go...

30. Depression Is My Superpower 27.08.2016

Justin Blank is a preachers kid. Does he live up to the stereotype that goes along with that? Why growing up a fat kid (his words) makes him funny. And how has depression, of which he's struggled with since he was 12, become his superpower. Plus he has dating app advice for Scott and a remedy for Jeff's hairy palms. I guess a better question to ask is...What does Justin NOT have the answer to. Thi...

29. Death and Rebirth in Marriage Part 2 19.08.2016

We start off part 2 with Jeff and Tonya's wedding, according to Jeff the worst day of his life. Spoiler alert: Jeff gets punched. By Tonya. Have you ever heard something described as "a train wreck falling off the empire state building crushing everything underneath it and shrapnel flying everywhere?" No? Well you're about to. And yet they're still married all these years later. We find...

28. Death and Rebirth in Marriage Part 1 13.08.2016

Jeff and Tonya went to see Jim Gaffigan. Zack wasn't there, but Tonya could smell him? Interesting. Also Scott got a raise & might vote for the libertarian candidate but he isn't sure he has confidence in Johnson. Lisa reads some reviews. And Jeff & Tonya walk us through the rollercoaster(doesn't do it justice) that has been their relationship. Amazing is the 5th most overused word in the...

27. Tim LaHaye (Not Left Behind) 29.07.2016

Does Jeff pretend to be poor to get free stuff? Is Scott a flat-earther? Why is Zack jealous of Jeff? Also we talk about Ken Ham's big ass ark. Tim LaHaye of Left Behind fame died. Is his eschatology dying as well? And we play a round of Speed Affirmation. We are also joined by honorary Bro, Dave Richey, husband, father, business owner, church leader & friend.  He also has dimples for days. Da...

26. Missions Missing the Mark 24.07.2016

Friend of the podcast John Chapman (Every Generation Ministries) joins Jeff, Scott and Zack to talk about the way that missions trips can actually do more harm than good (28:00). And how the Church can do missions better. Are christians called to evangelize or make disciples? Is there a difference? Plus we damn near solve the gun control crisis, Jeff consumes way to much  McDonalds coffee & Ga...

25. Porn 03.07.2016

Smoking looks cool? Scott took his Gamgam to church and she thought the fella gave a good sermon, only it was a lady. Kids totally get the whole loving your enemies thing, why is it so hard for adults. All before having an honest conversation about porn. Also listener reviews!!! Listener discretion should go without saying. www.xxxChurch.com (https://www.xxxchurch.com/) X3 Watch Online accountabil...

24. Mike Kurrle 26.06.2016

Mike Kurrle talks to us about his faith crisis and depression and how he found God in the midst of that. Why would he move his growing family from SoCal to Iowa? People don't do that. Well at least people not named Mike Kurrle.  Mike has a passion for discipling people the way Jesus discipled people and talks about how the church in general can improve in this area. In other news, John suggests th...

23. Orlandon't Say Judgement 17.06.2016

We mourn and pray for Orlando and all affected by the shooting on June 12th.  We react to some social media trolls that say "you reap what you sow" or "God was sending a message to the gay community". Does God dole out judgement like that? Did God ever? We get robust with each other on this one. Also adrunk vicar thinks he's from the Vatican (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...

22. Don't tell Jeff How to Pray 08.06.2016

We test out a long lost growler of Zack's home brew to find out what kind it was. Jeff wants to know, in light of a recent book release, if there is a wrong way to pray, or a way that works more than others? And Scott used to be afraid God didn't approve of him praying from the toilet?!?!? How superstitious are we in this? We want you! Get involved at TWITTER (http://twitter.com/brosbiblesbeer) - ...

21. Refuge 20.05.2016

Dave Bulloch, director of Refuge Disability Ministry joins Jeff & Zack on the show! He talks us through the ups and downs of leading Refuge. We also dig into him growing up Mormon, why he left, how is he taking back the word "disability". Scott checks in via voicemail. Also Jeff explains twinky time, his ridiculous 3 point marriage plan, Bible heroes,, & how Dave is like Maverick...

20. The Todd Is Here (Free High Fives All Around) 03.05.2016

Pastor Todd Rodarmel joins us and is promptly stumped by a question asked by Zack's daughter Aubrey. We'll find out if school really matters in ministry, how crisis can change faith, and 50% human 50% lion & 50% bat = 150% of ???  And so much more! Be apart of this!

19. The Perry Noble Guarantee 22.04.2016

Eyo!!! Perry Noble's Newspring Church has a 90 day giving challenge with a no questions asked money back guarantee if you're not blessed! Discussion ensues. Plus: Why all the grunting at the gym? Also, Dimethyl Sulfoxide may be unsafe for humans, so why the hell is Jeff rubbing it on his body for? feedback@brosbiblesbeer.com Follow (http://twitter.com/brosbiblesbeer) -  Like (http://facebook.com/b...

18. Forgiveness (of the Don Henley Variety?) 10.04.2016

Back by popular demand! We play a game loosely titled "Who Said It? Hitler or Presidents". Followed by a robust conversation (we don't all see things the same!) regarding forgiveness. What did it mean when Jesus said, "Father forgive them..."? Was it just a request? Was something bigger going on...like something YUUUGE?  What do you think? Be apart of the show and discussion. S...

17. Size Matters? 20.03.2016

Big? Small? Just Right? How do you like church? Does it even matter? Also, Zack may be misusing all of that podcast income. Did you know that saying "some say" in front of whatever you're going to say, allows you to say almost anything. And Zack may have tried to start a rumor about Marco Rubio.

16. Mammoth Jesting 05.03.2016

We took the show on the road! The road back to Southern California from Mammoth that is. Jeff Biblically assaults Scott unintentionally. Turns out Scott was in a cult for a few weeks. Did that turn him into a legalist? We explore that a bit before responding to superfan Dave's suggestion to "tame the tongue". Is there a line to cross for "course jesting" and can Zack see Scott...

10. Gender Fluid Jesus 09.01.2016

Is Jesus gender fluid?!?! Christians get trolled again. An old woman takes "If you see something, say something" too far. Does swearing on the Bible really matter? Christians submitting to authority? Iron clad answers coming your way (actually just opinions). Also, Matt's 3rd car gets towed and the only possible reason is spiritual attack...? Featuring Matt, Scott & Zack (and a littl...

8. Ham Sandwich (Ken Style) 24.12.2015

Merry Christmas! In a non Christmas episode, John MacArthur pulls his college from CCCU because too many schools don't teach Genesis literal enough. Good move...or is it? How important is nailing Genesis? Differing  opinions abound.  Also, Zack forgets that he's the tooth fairy. And if you set up a drinking game around the phrase "good grief", you're in trouble. Links: Ken Ham Likes John...
