  • Charlie Dates Interview

    I am a consistent listener and fan of the Podcast. I appreciate the topic but I needed more specificity on the “problems” within the church you all referred to. Were you speaking of just the evangelical church or white church- it wasn’t clear to me. If rebuke or criticism is to be constructive, for me ,it needs to very specific about the problems not just broad call outs of racism or injustice.Maybe I missed them but I did not hear that in the interview .

  • Too tidy redemption arc

    Thank you for saying the obvious. Of course your character matters. As a non-conservative, but a whole-hearted Christian your messages are inspiring. Double-thanks for today’s episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Cosper on the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, Five Years Later
Q: What do you say to a pastor who wants to prioritize meaningful pastoral care but is judged by congregational success metrics that can be soul-crushing?
Cosper describes the conflicting expectations placed on pastors, who may be expected to be perfect while congregations also demand a winning, high-growth institution. He notes that churches and congregations can share narcissistic expectations and urges a slower, deeper conception of pastoral ministry.
Mike Cosper on the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, Five Years Later
Q: When you finished Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, did you come away from that feeling jaded, or did you discover what you expected to discover, or were you shocked?
Cosper says the experience left him feeling all three ways. He was proud the series centered the people who had been harmed, but disappointed that the wider church conversation about authority, leadership, and celebrity faded quickly.
BEST OF: A Conversation with Rainn Wilson
Q: How do you view religion in popular culture, and what would you change about how faith is portrayed in media?
He argues that pop culture often caricatures religion as hypocritical or villainous, and suggests a more nuanced portrayal that emphasizes humility, service, and the diverse ways faith can contribute to mental health and social good.
BEST OF: A Conversation with Rainn Wilson
Q: What inspired you to write a book about spirituality after a career in acting and a public persona that invites scrutiny?
Wilson explains that personal struggles, a long process of therapy, and a desire to offer tools from various faith traditions led him to explore spirituality publicly, hoping to help others navigate meaning, suffering, and community.
David Brooks on Thriving in the AI Age
Q: Ten years from now, do you suppose we would be able to upload all of David Brooks' writing and have an episode of this program with you and me talking indistinguishably from now?
David Brooks argues that we cannot be reduced to our data or writing; we are more than information, and human beings with souls, desires, and selfhood cannot be fully replicated or replaced by machines, so such a seamless replication would fail to capture core human realities.
