Coffee, Theology, and Jesus

This week Jordan is back on the podcast from Seattle to discuss the 2016 Oxford Word of the Year, Post-Truth.  Tim, Rob, and Jordan discuss a growing undercurrent in Christianity that places higher value on our experiences and feelings than the Word of God.  Of course, we can’t help but comment on the current political landscape since it is the inauguration week!

This episode we are joined by Kyle to have an open and honest conversation about Christianity vs Atheism.  We may not settle the debate but wanted to start the dialogue to get it out on the table.  As you know, on CTJ – we like to understand all sides of the debate to better relate to our fellow man.  Kyle was so gracious to join us and give us his thoughts and opinions on this great topic.  The major theme found in this discussion falls into the topic of Morality – and how humans can be such moral creatures.  Does this give us evidence for a Creator or not?  This will not  be the only episode on this topic and we would love you input.

We have all said the words about our relationships “oh yes, we have a very Christ centered marriage” or relationship or friendship – whatever the case.  However, how true are those statements?

Paul Tripp once said, “either Jesus lives in the 10,000 little moments of your life or he does not live in your life at all.”  We discuss what it means to have a Christ centered marriage – in that it starts with a Christ centered life.  This topic is even more relevant in today’s world that is drifting further and further from God.  Our lives should speak of Christ – and our marriages should be telling others the gospel.  Join us as we discuss this vast topic – that we don’t even begin to feel that we’ve somehow mastered or accomplished.

Especially on this podcast – we would love to have your input and experiences!

Donald Trump.  The best choice for the Christian Conservative?

This week, after a long hiatus, Tim and Rob discuss a very hot topic in the media lately.  Donald J Trump.  Is the Donald Trump Christian Conservative movement valid in their effort to exalt him so proudly?  Has the Christian Right lost their way in political blindness and bias?  Is ANYONE better than the wicked witch of the left?  Join us as we discuss rant about Donald Trump and the Christian Conservatives backing of him.

Episode #20!  A milestone for CTJ, thanks for continuing to listen.  This week, after a long hiatus due to someone on the podcast getting married, we are back to discuss…. marriage.  Tim has 10 days experience at this point and looks to unload all of his experience and wisdom on the blessing that is marriage.  We also can’t help but discuss Trump – as that is the flavor of the month for the media, Christians, and generally the entire world!  Join us as we dive into this week’s topics and learn about Tim’s new book!

This week, Tim and Rob are joined by Riley Steele to discuss Christianity and Abortion Law.  This is a very big issue for most Christians as it gets at the heart of many issues.  We discuss the various viewpoints held in regards to this topic, the various laws and help available, and many other topics that slide right into this enormous subject.

We will value your input on this episode as we don’t believe we have even begun to scratch the surface.

We know every problem with millennials. Ok, maybe not every problem but since we all are millennials we might have some good insight.  However, we kind of still have a small problem with some statistics.  The fact that there are millennials leaving the local bodies of believers is scary.  The bigger problem is that when they are getting into their 30s (or later) they aren’t coming back.  Our generation is genuinely leaving their faith behind.  Join us as we discuss some of our own theories as to why, how we all go do better, and what will ultimately bring glory to God.  Hosts Tim, Jordan, and Rob are joined again by Dan McCarthy (remember episode #6) to discuss this massive topic.

Why do so many “Christians” not hold a biblical world view?  This week Tim, Jordan, and Rob tackled a topic that Jordan noticed was running through all our recent episodes and was a topic of study a few years ago.   Much of the discussion was fueled by “unchristian” a book on the statistics within Christendom.  Join us as we talk about some of the issues in the Christian faith related to the lack of a biblical world view and how it affects our living for Christ.

Tim and Rob are joined by the first “two-timer” Russell Palmer to discuss the Christians role in the political system of their country.  Should Christians be involved?  Should we cast a political vote?  How will the voice of the Christian be heard?
