Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S14 | E7: What Should Churches Sing? with Moses Chun
Q: How do you balance the desire to create a moment in worship with the goal of equipping the church for the week ahead?
It's about pairing emotionally engaging music with solid theological teaching, ensuring the song's truth remains with people throughout the week and not just during the service, while also considering worship as a communal, ongoing discipline rather than a one-off event.
S14 | E7: What Should Churches Sing? with Moses Chun
Q: Should we sing songs from Bethel or other groups with controversial theology?
The content of the lyric should be evaluated on its own merit; the origin or the author's beliefs should not automatically disqualify a song if the lyrics are biblically sound and edifying, though it requires careful discernment and anchoring in Scripture.
S14 | E7: What Should Churches Sing? with Moses Chun
Q: Why do you hate hymns, and why consider them when they're old and perhaps not culturally popular anymore?
Hymns are valued for historical and theological depth; they carry memory and truth, and while language can be archaic, their poetry often conveys profound, enduring beliefs that can edify worshippers when explained or contextualized.
S14 | E3: Why Are Christians Such Jerks Sometimes? with Ben France
Q: Is it possible for Christians to disagree without being seen as mean?
It seems increasingly difficult as our culture has become polarized and disagreement is often viewed as meanness.
S14 | E3: Why Are Christians Such Jerks Sometimes? with Ben France
Q: Are Christians seen as mean or difficult people?
Yes, Christians can be seen that way, especially when they disagree with others' viewpoints.
