  • God had a plan

    How can you believe in demi gods (which everyone already knows is mentioned in the Bible) but one God is totally absurd?

    How can Eden (a paradise where you literally pick food off trees to eat, except for one) be a place where God needed Adam and Eve to slave for Him in The Garden? How can you go from being a Christian to thinking the devil is really a good guy and God is really the bad guy who condones slavery and genocide?

    God had a plan, because he knew we would mess up, and that's Jesu... more

  • Ehhh

    I checked out The New Evangelicals hoping for genuine critique and nuance, but it’s just evangelical dogma swapped for progressive dogma. They’ve traded Bible Belt fundamentalism for woke fundamentalism, now preaching left-wing talking points dressed up as theology. Instead of sticking to their brand of progressive Christianity, they dive into politics—encouraging third-party voting and treating “Christian nationalism” like the ultimate evil—while completely ignoring Israeli power and the Torah’... more

  • Interview skills

    I appreciate Tim’s point of view, and he has really great guests on. However, when he’s interviewing them, he often monologues and doesn’t leave enough room for his guests to speak. I really like the Tim and April show, because they have great rapport. Tim is great in that show! I wonder if perhaps someone else could assist with interviews so we can really get the interviewee’s perspective.
