About this listen

Most of life and faith is lived in the tension between the two extremes. On this show, we look at what many of us were taught growing up in evangelical churches, weigh it against what our current culture is saying, and try to find what Jesus has for us in the tension between the two.

  • It's getting really hard to love some of my neighbors
    Mar 17 2025

    We truly believe Christians can follow Jesus together while disagreeing on how we apply our faith to politics. We even believe we can disagree with respect and dignity.


    But what's happening in our current culture is making it hard to love some of our neighbors around us.


    And while it's the politics that we see on the surface, it's the outright mean-spirited nature driving those politics and the rhetoric around them that makes it so hard to love those neighbors.


    This week we have an honest conversation about where we stand, why it's so hard to love them, and what it looks like moving forward in this climate.

  • American individualism is a cancer in the Church
    Mar 10 2025

    Cancers usually grow inside you without you noticing they’re there. You often don’t even know they exist until it’s a major issue. That’s American individualism within the evangelical church.


    In today's Evangelical Culture, many would see the Gospel-inspired collectivism of Acts 2 as socialism. We are at the point where the literal Pope had to speak up because American Christians were trying to redefine what loving your neighbor meant into a more individualist view.


    This week we talk about how that's impacted the church as a whole and how even the most aware people have to take part in the blame.

The hallowed halls of church youth culture is littered with bygone games and events. One such victim is Chubby Bunny. The game of full mouth madness was laid to waste by an urban legend about a poor little jr high girl that died while playing. I had parents demand that we never endanger their babies by playing that game. What ever happened to chubby bunny?
