  • 586: Is the Church’s View of Gender Pushing People Away?
    Jul 15 2025

    Have we confused biblical truth with cultural stereotypes? In this episode, we’ll explore whether the Church’s approach to gender roles is more alienating than affirming, especially to those already feeling on the margins. Are we holding to Scripture or adding barriers Jesus never intended?

  • 585: Why Most Churches Fail at Discipleship (And How to Fix It) | Jonathan Moynihan
    Jul 10 2025

    Ben talks with Jonathan Moynihan, lead pastor of Mosaic Christian Church in Elkridge, Maryland, and host of The White Flag podcast.

    They unpack why the modern church is struggling to form real, mature followers of Jesus. We explore the deep disconnect between what churches say they prioritize and what they actually measure, why traditional programs often fall short, and how Jesus’ model of relational, high-challenge discipleship remains relevant more than ever.

    Jul 8 2025

    Jul 1 2025

    Many millennials are facing the same “midlife crisis” that their parents did, yet without the money to buy that Porsche or the spouse to leave for someone younger.

    Although these typical material exchanges may not be occurring, the crisis remains.

    How can followers of Jesus speak into this issue, and what deeper root does a midlife crisis speak to?
