  • S2E3 - What is a Salvation Issue? with Pastor Jeff Carlson
    This week I have Jeff Carlson with me to talk about how we use the term "Salvation Issue" to deflect the importance of controversial topics. Join us as we talk about loving the "other side" better and exploring how we can better communicate in hard conversations.
    I apologize for any audio issues! Turns out the mic was positioned closer to me than I thought it was.

  • A6 The Art of Listening

    On this episode I talk about the importance of really trying to listen and understand someone's experience rather than simply trying to prove them wrong. Social media takes away the benefit of nonverbal communication to help us understand each other, so we must be diligent and intentional to understand the experiences of others and ask why they may be saying something or doing something. Let's be quick to understand rather than quick to prove wrong.

     
    This is a shorter episode for a couple reasons: I wanted to be succinct on a lot of this and I didn't want the length gating someone who might otherwise not listen.
    September 22, 2016 EDIT: The original audio for this episode was very weird. I went in and doctored it as much as my limited knowledge allowed me to. I'm sorry if it's still a bit off.

  • A5 An Absurd Church with Stephen Hall

    This episode, Stephen Hall and I discuss how local churches can and should respond to social justice issues and tragedies that happen in and out of their communities.

    Shout-outs this episode go out to Eddie Cornejo, Angelo Grasso, Manny Arteaga of Kaleo SDA Church, Forest Lake Church, Florida Hospital Church, and Orlando North SDA for their practical actions taken in response to tragedies that have occurred around the country. We know others have responded positively as well, these are just the ones mentioned by name in our conversation.
