Does being politically conservative make someone a Christian? Can a theological liberal truly claim Christianity? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff and Dr. Johnson explore the growing cultural debate surrounding faith, politics, and identity. Using current events, including the rise of Texas politician James Talarico and commentary from David French, they examine the difference between historic, orthodox Christianity and modern theological liberalism.

The conversation dives into biblical authority, the role of doctrine, and why being “nice” isn’t the same as being Christian. They also unpack misconceptions about Christian nationalism, the MAGA movement, and how political labels often get confused with genuine faith.

If you’re looking for clarity on Christianity, politics, and truth in today’s culture, this episode offers a thoughtful, theological perspective rooted in Scripture and Church history.

How should Christians approach the Bible?

Is Super Bowl Sunday really the “best Sunday of the year”? Or does that mindset reveal something about what we truly worship?

In this episode of Career Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss a question many Christians don’t often stop to ask: When does football become idolatry? As the NFL promotes slogans like “Sundays are for football,” believers must wrestle with a deeper issue—what is the Lord’s Day actually for?

This conversation explores:

• What Scripture teaches about the Lord’s Day
• Whether watching football on Sunday is sinful
• The difference between enjoyment and idolatry
• How historic Christians viewed Sunday worship
• Why every Sunday is Resurrection Sunday
• Whether Super Bowl Sunday can ever be the “best” Sunday of the year

Referencing voices from church history like John Bunyan and Eric Liddell, Jeff and Travis think through how modern evangelical culture may have drifted in its understanding of worship, rest, and recreation.

This episode isn’t about condemning sports—both hosts love football. It’s about examining the heart. When does something good become something ultimate?

If you’re a Christian who loves sports, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think biblically about the Super Bowl, the Sabbath, and the glory of Christ.

In an age where compromise is often treated as a virtue, how can churches stand firm without becoming harsh or unloving? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss why theology matters, why church membership is more than a club, and how pastors and church leaders can remain faithful to Scripture in a truth-hostile culture. Drawing from Jude, 1 Corinthians, and the broader witness of Scripture, they explore the relationship between orthodoxy and orthopraxy, the dangers of shallow theology, and why every Christian—not just pastors—must contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
