Absurdity with Ryan Becker

Tony and Ryan jump right into the conversation mass shootings after the tragic shootings in Dayton and El Paso. They discuss the conversation itself, how it's happening, and how that is both good and bad. They also try to provide some suggestions for how we can improve our approach to these conversations and actually make headway on these important issues.

This week we dive into Josh Harris and Marty Sampson announcing their departure from Christianity as well as John Cooper's (Skillet) response. We dive into the specific claims and arguments made, their validity, and how we personally feel in the whole matter. 

Today,  Matt Mendez, Ryan's childhood friend, joins Ryan to talk about his journey with faith.  They dive into childhood, what leaving faith was like, and now his recent return to faith. It's a story that's still being written, and we are privileged to hear the conversation and perspective as the story is unfolding in real-time.

WE MADE IT TO 100! We thought about doing something different for this episode, but we wanted to give you the content that brought us here and that you listen for. We've brought on Evan Willis, a regional conference pastor in Charlotte, NC, to school us on the history of regional conferences and to discuss the value of them in 2019 Adventism as well as historical Adventism. Absurdity is just getting started, so thank you for being on the ride with us!

We are one away from episode 100! This week, we dive into what the Church says it values vs. what the Church's actions indicate it values. Do these two things line up? If they don't, how do we change that, and if they do, how do we keep it that way?
