The Old Testament?

 

Grant is back for the second episode in a row, and this time he's fired up. This episode is about the importance of the Old Testament and its relevance to Christianity. Grant's fired up because he really likes the Old Testament. It may sound rudimentary, but sounds can be deceiving - we had a pretty solid discussion.

Personality Tests and Musical Things

 

On this installment of Despised For Youth, Alec and Noah talk about music with intermittent rabbit-trails into various, topics of arguable relevance. What's the deal with music? I mean, why is it such a part of the human experience? Also, what place does it have in the church? These questions, and several others, will find their way into this episode. We hope you enjoy the conversation and find yourself provoked to reconsider your preconceived notions about music in church worship and personal listening.

The Dating Talk

 

In a confusing turn of events, Alec is joined by his good friend Alex. Try to follow along here - one has a C and the other has an X. Both Alec and Alex have a good bit to say about Christian dating, but it might not be what you expect. Dating is a touchy subject in many Christian circles, but you can rest assured knowing this conversation is anything but tense. Surely this will go down in the record books as one of DFY's greatest publications.
