  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

422. Faith Unlynched with Dr. Angela Parker
Q: What can listeners do to counter white Christian nationalism in practical terms?
The conversation highlights following the Black liberation tradition, engaging in allyship that puts bodies on the line with marginalized communities, and fostering a more holistic, contextual reading of scripture rather than monolithic interpretations.
422. Faith Unlynched with Dr. Angela Parker
Q: How do you approach Romans and Paul's letters given their historical context and today's social issues?
She argues for reading Pistis Christu as the faithfulness of Christ, which includes the believer's faith, and emphasizes reading Romans in light of its historical context to avoid one-to-one applications that harm contemporary communities.
422. Faith Unlynched with Dr. Angela Parker
Q: Can you give people who might be new to the podcast a brief introduction to your background and focus?
Dr. Parker explains her Baptist roots with Pentecostal leanings, her journey to graduate study, and her work as a New Testament and Greek scholar at Mercer University, emphasizing a commitment to critical scholarship married with spiritual practice.
420. Reclaiming Evangelism from Fundamentalism
Q: How can evangelism be practiced in a non-coercive, inclusive way?
Evangelism is the proclamation of good news that invites a genuine response without coercion; it involves creating space for people to encounter God, listening to those being reached, and allowing conversion to be a personal, Spirit-led process.
420. Reclaiming Evangelism from Fundamentalism
Q: What does it mean to be orthodox in a diverse Christian landscape?
Orthodoxy should be understood as right belief within a given tradition, not a single universal standard; it coexists with orthopraxy, and both shape how communities practice faith in their historical and cultural context.
