Historically the modern evangelical church has been pretty prescriptive about what you must believe. And if you are uncertain in those beliefs, your faith is called into question. What if you could hold spirituality and uncertainty in tension? I believe that you can. And when you do, you understand what it means to be deeply spiritual but rather uncertain.

For all my life, I have understood God to be a personal being rather than some impersonal force. But in recent months the idea of God as a personal being has seemed a very limiting understanding of God. The understanding of God as Divine Presence has become more relevant and helpful for me. So which is it? Personal God or Divine Presence?

The philosophy of the modern mega-church is flawed. Christian Nationalism is dangerous. Jesus shares a very different message in the Beatitudes.

Have you ever considered the idea that Salvation in the Bible is not just "personal salvation"? That's what we are looking at in this episode. We talk about issues like systemic poverty, systemic racial inequality, guns control, voter repression, and other non-controversial stuff.

The words Salvation or Saved or Savior appears about 500 times in the Bible. For most of my life every time I read the word I assumed it was ultimately talking about going to heaven when you die. In this episode, I want to explain why I believe that assumption is absolutely wrong!

Sometimes we think of faith only in terms of what we believe about God. But what if faith is much bigger and broader and more transformative than that? And what if what we believe about God, carries much less importance than we always thought?

It's pretty easy to come up with a list of things we disagree on. But what about a list of things that we agree on? Are there things that Progressives, and Evangelicals, and Mainline Churches all agree on? I think there are!

Is there anything more powerful in our world than story? I don't think so. And that is why I want to take some time to share stories of our LGBTQ+ siblings. We start with a friend from South Africa. Glenn worked with us in Youth for Christ when Sheila and I first moved to South Africa. Like all of us, Glenn's story is full of ups and downs, victories and failures. I think you will be inspired and maybe even a little bit enlightened.

So far we have spoken about what the Bible doesn't say. In this episode, we are talking about what the Bible does say. This is at the very heart of the argument of the full inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community in the church.

Today we look at the New Testament passages that seems to condemn same-sex relationships. Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9, and 1 Timothy 1:10. It's not as easy as you might think.
