  • Antithetical to the gospel & true hope

    Disguised as hopeful and attempting to appear genuine, this church teaches perpetual victimhood, fear, and hatred. The first message I listened to was recent (Nov ‘24), and within 4 minutes the speaker, was talking about how America was attacked on Jan 6, 2020. After doing a little research they also talk about white supremacy, gun reform/control, and other talking points in the “woke” arsenal…. From the stage. They don’t teach redemption & forgiveness of sins through the atonement of Christ, bu... more

  • The love humanity is there, but truth is lacking.

    This church recently posted the following,

    “As Progressive Christians, we're open to the tensions and inconsistencies in the Bible. We know that it can't live up to impossible, modern standards. We strive to more clearly articulate what Scripture is and isn't.”

    I think it’s good to strive to clearly articulate the Bible, by modern standards it definitely brings up tension in our culture. But if the Bible can’t live up to the standards for this church, then what does? Humanity?

  • amazing

    I stumbled upon this podcast randomly through a google search. I thought I had lost my faith until I listened to the “Inherent Union with God” episode. Best rhetoric I have ever heard, and the overall emphasis on the mission of Jesus over salvation through his death changed my perspective. Truly cannot emphasize how amazing I think this church/podcast is. I listen all the time now. Wish I lived in Nashville

  • Wow

    I found this podcast randomly through a recommendation on Instagram. Started listening to it because of the teaching surrounding the biblical story of the demon Legion and the pigs. I don’t know this pastor, I’ve never even been to Tennessee but I’m so thankful for their ministry. My life has truly been enriched and my faith deepened because of Pastor Josh Scott’s genuine and gentle, thought provoking approach to teaching.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Josh Scott + Stan Mitchell in Conversation
Q: How do you begin to break the power of exclusion by helping people rethink their starting point, especially when scripture is often cited as the authority?
The approach is to acknowledge the limits of certainty, embrace curiosity, and reframe scripture as a living, interpretive guide rather than an ultimate authority that excludes others, allowing love and inclusion to guide interpretation.
Born Again Queer : William Stell + Stan Mitchell
Q: Can you tease out what part of this is professional, academic, historical curiosity and what part is that child, that gay kid raised on the first day of the D?
The answer is different now than it was 15 years ago. Twelve years ago. In my early 20s I would have identified as a gay evangelical, but my journey toward a gay-affirming ethic has evolved through evangelical education and scholarly work, reshaping how I relate to the evangelical label.
Christ Crucified: A Conversation
Q: When did the tradition of needing to accept Jesus' death as part of salvation begin?
The speakers discuss that the emphasis on personal acceptance has evolved from earlier interpretations and that reading Romans and other texts through a more holistic lens can shift the focus from a required belief for salvation to an ongoing realization of belovedness.
Epiphany : Feeding the 5,000
Q: What are we going to do with what we have in our baskets?
We have creativity, energy, money, resources, and time that we can share to contribute positively.
Liturgies for Resisting Empire
Q: What brought you to writing this book?
The speaker reflected on a sermon given during Advent 2021, sparked by personal experiences after childbirth and the observations about the sanitized portrayal of holiness, leading to a deeper exploration of empire's impact on understanding divinity.
