For our final episode before the Summer break, we have a real barnburner for you today - if you like business meetings.

Denominational Politics sound boring. That’s because they are. Usually. But every once in awhile, something big happens. Well, something big happened. So, let’s talk about it.

The podcast gets a much needed makeover as we sit down with the strongest women we know to talk about…well, whatever they think we need to talk about. We are joined by Jen Higgins, Charaya Morris, and Brianna Jarrett for one of the best conversations we've ever had. Buckle up. This one is incredible.

“Pro-Life”. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. We try to get to the bottom of what it means to truly be “whole life Pro-Life” with a little help from our friends, Fred and Brianna Jarrett.

We conclude our series on Christians and Violence with a conversation with the brilliant Dr. Jeffrey K. Mann. Tackling difficult issues related to pacifism and God-ordained violence, we’ll wrestle with the question, “Should Christians participate in violence, and if so, how?”

In this corner, we have Table-Flipping Jesus. And in this corner, we have the Blessed Peacemakers. But are they really opponents? Are they actually in different corners of the ring? Should we practice non-violence or should we methodically craft a whip and get to work being holy Rambos? Doormats or Dominators?

We are thrilled to welcome Dan Hyun onto the podcast to help us work through understanding the rise of anti-Asian violence in our country. He’ll help us get a better picture of this issue, and how it really is just a symptom of the much greater issue of racism towards Asian-Americans. How can good Christian people be a part of ending this injustice?

Today, we host our biggest episode ever as we welcome into the studio three of Maryland’s finest police officers. They share their experiences and challenges as a public servant, as well as their insights into the racial tensions we see in our communities. Buckle up and put down your cell phones. This episode is not to be missed.

We kick off a difficult series discussing violence in our culture and how we feel led to respond to it. In this episode, Brandon Morris joins us to share his perspective on police brutality and how it is received in the Black community. We’ll try to make sense of what we see and how we can move redemptively in this issue.

Welcome to our very first profile on a Great Christian Person! We are beyond honoroed to be joined in-studio by the Godfather himself, Indian missionary and pastor, David Rajan. He shares his life story of how God has and is working in his life, and the work he is doing in India.

For more information on how to support the work David and his missionary partners are doing in India and Sri Lanka, shoot us an email at [email protected] and we would love to help you join this work.

Brandon Morris joins us again as we interrupt our regularly scheduled program to process the recent verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial and discuss the holy call to justice.
