Listen Later

Leslie and Leslyn begin by discussing the challenging question “What is a day?” as it pertains to the Creation story in the bible. Can we believe in science and the bible at the same time? This conversation starts by challenging some basic thoughts while we share our individual views.

How do you envision God? We sit back and share ideas of ‘what’ God may be. We share thoughts on why religion personifies God and what kind of challenges that presents.

Rachel Held Evans speaks about the bible and the stories it tells. Leslie and Leslyn dive into how the bible is often interpreted by each readers perspective and why that may be problematic. They challenge the use of biblical ideology when it offers a convenient rational for behavior that is obviously ‘unloving’.

They strongly encourage listeners to sit back and ask questions to challenge beliefs; whether or not they align with the goal of love.

The conversation continues with a call out to keep asking questions.
