That is right, we are talking about those words we've heard you say when stepping on your ear bud. Those words you accidentally say when trying to sing the clean version of any song but let slip. Those words that are old english for donkey and your KJV only pastor just cannot change when reading Scripture from the pulpit. 

Seriously though, we hope this episode is as fun of a listen as it was to record. Though we may not have taken the topic as serious as some would like us to, please understand that we do see this as a serious issue to consider and talk about among one another. Hopefully our positions on the matter are clear enough, but if you have any questions as to why we believe what we believe or resources to inform your opinion/stance - reach out to us with no hesitation.

Alright. We promise. Last one. (Blake hopes.) This is the continuation of our questions and conversation amongst ourselves on Calvinism and Arminianism. 

We discuss and try to answer some of the main questions around Arminianism, though mostly from our perspective and interpretation of Scripture. Forgive us if we do not cover questions you may have. We dwindled the Q's down to the main ones often asked. Also, does anybody read these anymore? Like, it's ok if you don't. I was just wondering. Maybe I'll hide my plan to takeover the podcast and turn it into a podcast about the show Three's Company or The Simpsons. I'm just spit-balling here. Anyway, this episode was real fun to record and discuss our thoughts on some different points of theology - especially where we disagree.

Well, if you thought one episode was enough for the spicy topic of Calvinism and Arminianism - you were . . . maybe right. 

BUT, we wanted to go deeper into some of the main questions around these two camps of theology. So, after recording one big episode, we decided to split it into two for easier listening and more content. (The curse of the internet.)

Please, hit play and hear three friends who differ on this topic not yell at each other, but have a decent conversation answering questions and picking apart children's church songs. And of course, the 'arminianism q&a' episode will be out soon!

Season 3 starts off with a biggy. We honestly kept putting this one off because the debates and terrible Tweets we read around this topic make us all want to live in a cave and never hear the term "theology" again. Hopefully, our episode does the opposite of that. (Wait, what is the opposite of living in a cave? Well, you get my point.)

It's worth a listen. Trust us, we understand if you want to skip this one because of the title. BUT, we try to use this episode to define the main points on each side and answer the question, "how can this conversation/disagreement be handled better?"

We will have a follow-up episode where we candidly discuss the major questions around both sides.

Intro: "White Christmas" by Pembroke Hall

Outro: "Silent Night/Smile in the Mystery" by John Mark McMillan

Yes, you read that right. We had THE Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden from The Popcast with Knox and Jamie to discuss Christians and pop culture. It was such a fun episode. A funny episode. And an informative episode. Hopefully, our discussion (better yet, their words) help you navigate the somewhat awkward relationship with pop culture you may have. Also, we had a fun lightning round of random rapid-fire questions near the end. Don't skip it!

Just know, Cody works super hard on the tweets and our fictional intern works equally hard for less pay on the IG posts.) follow us on Twitter @FutureFamilyPod or Instagram @futurefamilypodcast or email us at [email protected] 

YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO The Popcast with Knox and Jamie and The Bible Binge, AND check out (buy, it's not in every library) Knox's book The Wondering Years wherever books are sold!

Outro: "Aimless Knight" by Kings Kaleidoscope 

For our one episode break from our denomination deep-dive, we decided to discuss deconstruction in part. This term and action has been on the rise among Christians of all creeds and denominations over the last decade or so; thus, we have a take on it. Hopefully, we give you an idea on what it is, if it is beneficial, and how to do it (or something similar) biblically!

We mention an article a bit in this episode. If the hyperlink does not work and you would like to read it, reach out to us on Twitter (@FutureFamilyPod) or Instagram (@futurefamilypodcast) or email ([email protected]).

Please, as always, keep the conversation going. (We should get that tatted on our bodies, honestly.)

Continuing our series on specific denominations, we tackle the one that prefers to not be typed. Tune in as Blake leads our discussion on the background and aspects of non-denominational churches. If we (Cody and Tanner) are too harsh on them, it's only because we love our non-denom full-denim friends!

And keep the conversation going!

Here we begin part 1 of a 3(?) part series dedicated to a deep dive in denominations. Tanner gives us a very brief history of the SBC and some major identifying factors of Southern Baptists. We also discuss what we are thankful for from the SBC and how they have impacted us. 

Of course, we would have loved to talk for hours about this, but we just can't. However, we want to hear your thoughts and stories about your interactions with anything SBC! Or, if you have questions or want more resources - reach out to us!
