Talarico & Timothy

This week on Behind the Pulpit, the pastors look ahead to Holy Week at MBC, including Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. They walk through what makes this week so central to the Christian faith and invite listeners to intentionally slow down and reflect on the cross and resurrection as a church family.

In the news segment, the conversation focuses on James Talarico’s recent theological comments in the public square, including claims about God being non-binary, the Bible being pro-choice, and the priority of the red letters over the rest of Scripture. The discussion also includes a brief tribute to Chuck Norris and the cultural phenomenon that followed him for years.

The sermon recap covers both recent messages from 2 Timothy, with discussion on courage under fire, fear and moral cowardice, co-suffering in the Christian life, gospel drift, and the challenge to guard and pass on the faith to the next generation. Book War continues, two listener questions take up prayer and Jesus’ words from the cross, and the Theology Sprint closes with a focused explanation of why Christians do not affirm the Quran.
