June 03328 - Should We Prioritize Evangelism?
Should evangelism (sharing the gospel) be the top priority in the church’s mission, or just one important part among many? In other words, should evangelism take priority over social action, or are both evangelism and social action equal partners? In this episode, we are discussing what the mission of the church should be based on the article Should We Prioritize Evangelism in Missions?

May 27327 - The Rise of the Christian Edgelord
In this episode, we’re tackling a trend you’ve probably seen online but might not have a name for: the "Edgelord". We dive into a recent article from Joe Carter at The Gospel Coalition (link below) that explores how some Christian influencers are trading truth for provocative reactions and social media clout. Why are so many young men drawn to this style of leadership, and how is it secretly shaping our faith? We break down what an Edgelord actually is and discuss why being aware of these online influences is so important for our spiritual formation today.

May 20326 - You're More Theologically Liberal Than You Might Think
In this episode, we tackle the idea that you might be more theologically liberal than you realize. We’re looking at how our views on the Bible and personal experience have been shaped by history. We dive into the influence of Friedrich Schleiermacher and discuss how his ideas still show up in the church today, often without us even noticing. Join us as we break down where these concepts come from and why understanding them is so helpful for your own faith and discipleship.
