Listen Later

Apologies for the audio quality. Due to a demon infecting the ones & zeros we were forced to use our backup recording. 

In this episode of Bros Bibles and Beer, we explore various themes including the divisive experience of trying a unique pickle beer, the divisiveness in politics and society, the role of social media in amplifying these divisions, and the impact of cultural and technological changes on human connection. 

We also discuss the church's response to these societal shifts, emphasizing the importance of community and shared values amidst growing polarization. We discuss how identity politics have created divisions, the importance of individual perspectives over group labels, and the challenges of navigating inclusivity within faith communities. 

The conversation also touches on the historical context of the church's stance on social issues and the need for a more nuanced understanding of acceptance versus affirmation. 

In this conversation, we delve into the complexities of the church's role in society, discussing the infiltration of worldly influences through social media, the balance between local and global missions, and the implications of the Great Commission. 

We explore the challenges faced by church leaders in addressing current events while maintaining a focus on biblical teachings and community service.
