Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 182: Episode 181: Hans Madueme- "Defending Sin"
Q: What is one thing you once thought was true and now think is false?
I thought I would not address human origins or evolve past that influence, but I found those questions are really key to kind of giving a full picture of sin.
Episode 179: Andrew Chronister- "Augustine in the Pelagian Controversy"
Q: What exactly is the Pelagian Controversy?
The Pelagian Controversy spans from around 411 to Augustine's death in 430, primarily involving Augustine and his allies against Pelagius, Celestius, and Julian of Eclanum, focusing on theological issues related to grace, free will, and original sin.
Episode 178: Episode 178: Abigail Favale- "The Genesis of Gender"
Q: What is one thing that you once thought was true and now think is false, or vice versa?
I once thought contraception was essential for women's freedom, but now I see it as a means that devalues women and privileges a kind of male ideal.
Episode 178: Episode 178: Abigail Favale- "The Genesis of Gender"
Q: Can you explain the difference between sex and gender?
Sex refers to the biological differences, while gender encompasses the cultural and social norms related to those biological differences.
Episode 177: Episode 177: Matthew Bates- "Beyond the Salvation Wars"
Q: How do you understand the idea of faith versus allegiance?
I see faith as loyalty to Christ as king, emphasizing a commitment to live under His authority, rather than simply receiving Him in a passive way.
