    All they seem push is their paid option. We get it. You have one. You don’t need to tell us multiple times an episode.

    As a minister this show more than any other helps me think through and process current issues through a biblical lens that’s fair minded and balanced.

  • Charlie kirk was a hater and haters followed him.

    This interview was old news and bad as if she was standing up for a Christian nationalist.

  • Holy smokes

    There must be a word limit, because after two attempts, I’ve lost my previous musings about Skye’s interview with Kelsey. I’ll be more laconic: you got it wrong. The book may be right, the interview was wholly skewed. A sincere young parent is looking for assistance to do the one thing in their life that may be generationally impactful. Never did my wife and I suppose infallibility by the authors, but trusted God for the outcomes.

  • Hope

    Thank you. My husband and I enjoy listening to this together. We especially enjoyed 2/25 Rabbi and Priest episode. We feel increasingly marginalized in our church which has become very dogmatic and authoritarian. The grace and thoughtfulness you bring are refreshing. And it gives me hope knowing that we aren’t alone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

725: The Cage Match for America's Story plus Nijay Gupta
Q: What would Paul's response be to the Pope's tweet about social justice?
Paul would push back against a purely individual salvation focus and invite a broader vision where justice and renewal of creation are integral to the gospel.
726: Reimagining Biblical Politics with Michael Rhodes
Q: Why is Esther such a consequential lens for political engagement?
Rhodes argues Esther forces readers to confront ambiguity and agency, showing that faithful action in politics may not have clear, immediate divine instruction, yet still requires courageous decision-making.
726: Reimagining Biblical Politics with Michael Rhodes
Q: What do you mean by politics beyond statecraft, and how should Christians engage with nations and cities?
Rhodes describes two forms—outpost politics and pilgrim politics—where believers influence public life through personal virtue, community actions, and stewardship in public institutions, not just voting or policy debates.
726: Reimagining Biblical Politics with Michael Rhodes
Q: How did you end up writing a book about what scripture says about our political life?
Rhodes explains his calling grew from living and serving in communities of concentrated poverty, which exposed gaps in discipleship and demanded a broader, scripturally grounded approach to politics that goes beyond simple verse-based guidance.
720: The Casino-fication of the Church and Mark DeYmaz
Q: How did Mark DeYmaz describe Mosaic Church and its approach to diversity?
He described Mosaic as a multi-ethnic, economically diverse church that has intentionally pursued cross-cultural unity for 25 years, with a focus on embodying the gospel across racial and economic lines.
