  • Well Done

    I’m from the MacArthur Bible Tribe via my AA college ministry. I have since departed due to increasing politicization and disillusionment with my own experiences. Still largely hold to the same doctrine but have been recognizing more and more how our cultures and personalities shape our ministry almost as much, if not more, than our theology. This podcast helps me explore AA Christian culture as we’re no longer just a loose collection of young AA Millennials. We are now planting our own churc... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Not Of This World! (but still in it)
Q: What are the most overrated ways Christians try to be distinct from the world in the last five to ten years?
Posts on social media and performative outrage are overrated because they often fail to invite real dialogue or reflect a life that's compelling and loving; true distinctiveness comes from a lifestyle that models Jesus in everyday actions and attitudes, not from loud rhetoric.
Authority, Romans 13 and Pastoral Responsibility
Q: How do you navigate the tension when someone asks how they should respond to the authority as described in Romans 13?
We need to balance Romans 13 with Acts 5:29; we must obey God rather than human beings, meaning we should resist unjust authority when required.
Why Do So Many Churches Disagree?
Q: How can we then disagree well?
To disagree well, we should start with humility about our own perspective, separate truth from identity, maintain relational closeness, and distinguish between conviction and control.
Church Leadership 101
Q: What do you do when a leader in your team is challenging you?
It's essential to approach this person for a direct conversation to clarify expectations and understand what's going on, before making any decisions about their role.
Church Leadership 101
Q: What do you do when a lay leader is ineffective or toxic?
The hosts discuss handling such situations with honesty and integrity, focusing on the specific challenges faced, and making adjustments, whether that be through honest conversations or evaluations.
