  • What Do Demonic Powers Have To Do with Politics? with Tim Mackie

    What Do Demonic Powers Have To Do with Politics? with Tim Mackie
    Apr 9 2025
    Demonic powers and politics? Is this going to be a weird campfire conversation where they share their demon stories? No, quite the opposite! You may have heard this one before! That’s because it’s an older episode, but it’s one of our favorites! And given the political chatter over the last few months, we decided to resurface it and revisit a conversation on the reality of demonic and dark spiritual forces at work in the political realm. Hear as Patrick sits down with Tim Mackie, cofounder of BibleProject, and the two have a sophisticated and candid discussion about the “powers” that Paul refers to in Ephesians. Tim shares how these spiritual powers contribute to disunity and fragmentation within the church, urging Christians to be aware of these schemes and seek unity above all else. You’ll also hear Tim share how the BibleProject navigates hot-button, cultural topics, and whether or not he believes the church should weigh in on such conversations. Listen now!

  • Is Gen Z More Open to Following Jesus? with Brad East

    Is Gen Z More Open to Following Jesus? with Brad East
    Apr 3 2025
    Is the Gospel really worth living for? Is it worth dying for? Depending on when you were born, you may approach these questions differently. Today’s guest, Brad East, author of “Letters to a Future Saint” and an associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, spends the bulk of his time with Gen Z. Listen as he shares his observations with Patrick and explains why he believes Gen Z is more conscious than older generations of the cost of following Jesus. He discusses where he thinks the church has overcorrected in Reformed circles, shying away from taboo topics like sex. He also shares some beliefs and practices that he believes we’ve lost from the ancient church. Plus, what are the biggest defeatist beliefs for young people when they think about the church? And how can Gen Z expand their spiritual journey? Listen now! Have you read "Joyful Outsiders" yet? It's available now!

  • The Reason for the Church with Brad Edwards

    The Reason for the Church with Brad Edwards
    Mar 26 2025
    The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. Jesus and John Wayne. Church of Cowards. Losing our Religion. Shepherds for Sale. In the last several years, there has been no shortage of negative commentaries on the Church. Why so much anti-vision? Are any Christians attempting to pave a positive path forward? Today, we’re talking with Brad Edwards, whose forthcoming book, “The Reason for the Church,” provides the positive vision that the Church needs. He and Patrick discuss why Christian culture has been stuck in an anti-vision mindset and why a negative perception around institutions as a whole is partly to blame. Brad details why the Church is so necessary and explains how many Christians have forgotten the Church’s role as a source of healing and community. But what about people who have experienced spiritual abuse at the hands of the Church? We hope this episode offers an honest-yet-hopeful vision for church as a necessary institution. Listen now!

    Who Killed American Christianity? with John Mark Comer
    Mar 19 2025
    We've recently talked about the seismic shifts happening in today's culture. That's why this week, we decided to dig up an older episode on this very topic. A few years back, Patrick sat down with John Mark Comer to discuss the state of Christianity in the culture. John Mark, author and pastor, shares his story of how he started following Jesus. Then you'll hear John Mark and Patrick dive right into topics such as the meaning of evangelicalism, especially in current times, and the problem with celebrity culture and Christianity. They also give insights into the cultural shifts challenging faithfulness to Jesus and how we can move forward. Whether you heard it already or not, it's a great listen!

  • Do Politics Corrupt Your Faith? with Peter Wehner

    Do Politics Corrupt Your Faith? with Peter Wehner
    Mar 12 2025
    Is it possible to change Washington, D.C. without it changing you? Today’s guest, Peter Wehner, thinks so. But he’s also a bit of an anomaly: a serious Christian who felt he never had to compromise his faith while serving in the Reagan and both Bush administrations. How did his faith and career merge? Did he ever have to hold back on what he believed in order to keep his role as an advisor? How did he justify the decisions around the wars going on at the time? Hear Peter and Keith discuss how serving in the highest levels of politics can (and can’t!) corrupt your faith. And what kinds of pressures do all Christians face to conform? Listen now! Are you an advisor like Peter? Or maybe you’re an artist, protester, trainer, builder, or ambassador?

  • The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery with Sean McGever

    The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery with Sean McGever
    Mar 5 2025
    We all like to think of ourselves as good people, right? Had we been around “back then,” we would have opposed slavery, marched for women’s suffrage, and rescued Jews from the Holocaust. But can we be so sure? The reality is that many prominent Christians, including those considered to be the Founding Fathers of Evangelicalism, have had major blindspots, particularly concerning slavery. But does the context and timeline in which you grew up provide a credible excuse for your behavior? Today’s guest, Sean McGever, is a historian and the author of “Ownership: The Evangelical Legacy of Slavery in Edwards, Wesley, and Whitefield.” Hear him unpack how the cultural thinking of the 18th century impacted Christianity and whether or not we should take that into consideration, or cancel these men altogether. Plus, is it generally true that Christians led the eventual abolitionist movement? And what are some possible modern blind spots in our culture today? "Joyful Outsiders" is available now!

    How Protesters Change Culture with Scott Crosley
    Feb 26 2025
    “I enjoy running toward darkness.” “The only way to cultivate justice is to resist injustice!” Resonate with those statements? Then you might be a protester, or someone who knows God opposes injustice and speaks courageously on behalf of the powerless. On today’s episode, we’re continuing our series breaking down the six types of joyful outisders that God uses to impact culture. Scott Crosley, the founder and President of Pivot, an organization that rescues women and children from sexual slavery, joins us to provide one such example. In this inspirational interview, Scott explains the process of exposing hidden brothels and rescuing trafficked women and children around the world. He explains how the victims end up in these situations and what he’s observed as some of the core drivers behind human trafficking. But where did he get his desire to do this? How does he cope with all he sees? Is his ministry really solving the root of the problem? Listen now! Are you a protester too?
