ForgettingWalls

In Episode 36, the guys continue their discussion on sex by talking about masturbation and porn. Is masturbation inherently wrong? Should a Christian be able to masturbate without guilt? What about when porn is thrown into the mix? Is porn harmful? How should we respond to porn in light of the industry? There are some major disagreements on this one, so listen to find out what we think. Also, the guys spend a few minutes clarifying a few things from last week's episode, and they give some final thoughts regarding it as well. Finally, Keith H brings us a story of yet another presidential hopeful, Deez Nuts. So, as always, be sure to rate, like, and subscribe to the podcast to hear more of our talks!

In Episode 35, Keith W, Justin, Keith H, Ryan, and Kris begin their discussions on sex. In Part I, they discuss the concept of purity, especially as it relates to the Christian worldview. How do we define virginity? What is constituted as sex? How far is too far? Why do we hold these concepts in high regards in our society? Should these values be maintained? Listen to find out what we think. Also, the guys talk about some bands to be on the lookout for in the near future, and how Christian art can be done well. Finally, Keith H reads a story about two brothers who couldn't share a Big Mac, which leads to a swelling disagreement about the legitimacy of fast food.

In Episode 34, Keith W, Justin, Keith H, Ryan, and Kris sit down to talk about the concept of marriage. What exactly is the definition of marriage? What is it like to be married? Does marriage change who we are? What depth (or lack thereof) does marriage have in our society? Since Keith W and Ryan are the only two married men on this podcast, they do most of the heavy lifting, while the rest of the guys ask questions. Also, the guys talk about the implications of cloning Jesus, as well as the tragic demise of Hitchbot, our adorable robot companion. Finally, they discuss court-ordered forced marriages and trial by combat. Like what you hear? go over to the podcast page and leave us a comment.

In Episode 31, Keith W. and Keith H. are joined by Tina Semmens in studio in the place of Justin as he takes a week off. We talk some recommendations from music to podcast to art. We spend a little time getting to know Tina and her background, where she is going and her relationship with Keith W. She is a singer-songwriter, writer, wife, mom, and we continue but you will hear all about her. We get into our topic on religious language and how it divides us in the world. This topic has a relevant position in how we at ForgettingWalls are purposed and directed. We talk about how we take translated words to be the end all be all with the identifier with such concepts like God, Adam or man. The conversation gets a little deep and focuses on the divisive nature of how people hold to their definitions to be the only one and everyone else is wrong. Then, as we often do, we go off into left field and decide to talk about whatever we want. With Justin absent, Keith W. tries and fills the spot the best he can. We chat up naked barn stormer, the cat Boss, and a story about a real man duking it out with a shark. If you haven't go and give us a like or a follow, invite friends to the Facebook page, or please go and share your story.

In Episode 30, Keith W, Justin, and Keith H sit down to talk about some of their own personal beliefs. Is Justin really a super-liberal Christian? Is Keith H a hardcore conservative? Does Keith W have a weird mix of both? Are we really as different as each of us likes to think? Or do we really have more in common? Listen to find out! Also, the guys talk about a controversial tweet, how the church service is only a small part of the life of a Christian, and how miscommunication can often happen on social media (especially regarding theology and Twitter). This week, they also bring recommendations of music, TV shows, and podcasts. Finally, Justin brings us stories of chicken churches (not vice versa), unfeeling women, feline presidential candidates, and raccoon memorials.

In Episode 29, Keith W, Justin, and Keith H sit down with the Laura Veal, the worship coordinator of Transformation Church, to talk about cultivating a multiethnic community. How does one even start? Does having a wide variety of people make leading worship raiser or more difficult? And what should churches be doing differently to reach more diverse groups? The guys (and girl) also continue some discussion on the gay marriage ruling, to which there is still contention. This is our most Christian lingo-filled podcast to date, so dive in with us as we explore these topics. Finally, Justin brings up stories of lying firefighters, toilet snakes, killer fireworks, and free nipples. So be sure to subscribe, rate, and listen to us on iTunes and tell us what you think!

In Episode 28, Keith W. and Justin sit down with Darcy Rumble from the music review site Giants in the Sound. The guys ask him questions about his past, his love of music and punk shows, and how he eventually became a Christian. Also, since he hails from the great land up North (Canada), they ask questions about the recent events in America (Charleston, SCOTUS ruling) in order to get his perspective on these issues. This is by far one of the their favorite interviews, so be sure to not miss this! Also, Justin brings in stories of high huskies, crazy contraband, and lucky lottery tickets.

In Episode 27, Keith W., Justin, and Keith H sit down to discuss the relationship between church and state. Naturally, the conversation centered around the recent Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. What does this ruling mean for us as a society? Should we even care? What is the responsibility of a Christian in the political realm? Should Christians even vote or be involved in politics at all? Listen to find out our perspective. Finally, since we spend most of the time talking about this issue, Justin barely squeezes in some stories of accidentally scaring children, biscuit eating criminals, and prophetic t-shirts. As always, be sure to tell us what you think! Is Keith W too passive in his politics? Is Justin too passionate in protecting equality? Is Keith H too practical in his pronouncements?
