  • Sound Theology in a Single Commute

    This is an excellent podcast for anyone with questions about Christianity and theology (so, basically, everyone). Steve and Rich address the “hard questions” we face and they do so in less than 30 minutes, so I can listen to one full episode during my morning or afternoon commute.

  • This discussion was very thought provoking and I enjoyed it. I will have to get the Rich's book for further investigation. I tried reading William Craig's book , " Time and Eternity," on the relationship of God and time a few years ago but I could not wrap my mind around what he was saying...

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

51 | How to Study the Bible
Q: So why do you think that's missing, especially in school settings or even church settings, I guess?
Steve suggests there may be a danger in Christian schools, where studying the Bible becomes more about passing tests than meeting Jesus.
53 | Independence Day
Q: How do we avoid making those mistakes of blurring the lines or becoming too loyal to a politician or a party or to political causes?
We must consider our own spirits and ensure that we express our beliefs lovingly, avoiding actions that push others away from the gospel.
46 | The Community of Christ
Q: How do we handle interpersonal relationships within the church?
We should follow the guidance of Matthew 18, addressing issues directly with individuals while seeking reconciliation with love.
81 | The Second Coming of Christ
Q: What would we say to someone who is in process or doesn't yet follow Jesus?
We don't have all the time we think we have to figure things out; today is the day to embrace faith, as none of us are promised tomorrow.
