September 27, 2021 Should Children Be In the Worship Gatherings?
There are multiple reasons why parents would desire to keep their children with them during church services. But is this what is best for the church and the children? And most importantly, is this family-integrated worship biblical?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers, Tabi Griffith, and Renee Young discuss whether or not children should be in the worship gathering, what is biblical, and why it matters in the first place.
“There needs to be serious consideration by parents and churches about when do we want to start integrating our children into the life of the church, so they don’t feel separated from that.” ~ Aaron Currin

September 20, 2021 Is Divorce and Remarriage Biblically Permitted?
We live in a culture that does not value commitment, and is quick to justify almost any action with nothing more than the grounds of personal happiness.
We know the Bible states that God hates divorce. But there is ambiguity in the passages that describe under what conditions a divorce is permissible. Is it permitted at all? Is remarriage permitted? What about divorce in the case of ministry leaders?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Lisa Preston discuss these questions, the various interpretations of Scripture, and how one would counsel a couple going through it.
“The whole point of Matthew 18 is restoration, not retribution. So often in our culture, it’s easy to be vindictive instead of trying to restore.” ~ Aaron Currin

September 13, 2021 How Should Christians Respond to “The Rise & Fall of Mars Hill”?
The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill is a podcast published by Christianity Today. While the stated goal of the show is to “explore the inside story of this church, its charismatic leader, and the conflicts and troubles that brought about its end”, the show’s execution has raised a lot of questions — namely, is it a genuine attempt to better the church and glorify God, or is it using the collapse of Mars Hill as a vehicle for delivering a very specific progressive agenda?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Keith Neubert and Adam Clark discuss the podcast, its legitimacy, how Christians should respond to it, and (in general) how to think critically about the information we consume.
“1 Tim 5 is critically important when we talk about this, both publicly, or within your own church. There are so many accusations today, and people do not heed Scripture. There’s a process for this that’s laid out by Paul in Scripture — we don’t have to speculate.” ~ Aaron Currin

September 06, 2021 Am I Ruining My Kids?
The weight of parenting can be heavy. Whether they would admit it or not, most parents, at least at times, wonder if they are doing a good job. And in a culture where much is vying for the attention of parents and the affection of their children, how should godly parents engage, disciple, and train their kids?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Tim Miller and Dashawn Cousins discuss what the Bible has to say about parenting, what parents should be most concerned with, patterns and habits to avoid (and ones to implement), and how to deal with feelings of failure around parenting in general.
“We’ve just bought the cultural norms. When it comes to dating, social media use, raising our kids - it’s like, well of course they have to do these things because that’s what the world tells us. We’ve become acclimated to it instead of asking the question why. ” ~ Aaron Currin

August 30, 2021 Biblically, Can Ladies Be Pastors?
Across Christianity, there are few things more hotly contested and vehemently debated than the role of women in pastoral ministry. Yet amidst all the debate and struggle the question sincere Christians must strive to answer is this: what does the Bible have to say on this issue?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Maggie Seibert discuss the issue of authority in the church, the differences between egalitarianism and complementarianism, what Scripture has to say about these issues, and how we should deal with divisive topics.
“There seems to be a lot of diversity even in reformed circles on how much we permit. But I pretty much go as far as you can go Biblically because I believe that’s where Scripture leads us in saying women should be empowered to do whatever they want to do, as long as it is within the framework of Scripture.” ~ Aaron Currin

August 23, 2021 Are We in the End Times?
Over the centuries countless well-intentioned Christians have predicted the return of Jesus or prophesied of a rising “Man of Sin” with these themes reaching a feverish crescendo in recent years. So the questions arise: Do we know who the Anti-Christ is? Should we Look for a Rapture of the Church? Are we at the End of Time?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Ken Thompson discuss eschatology, the Anti-Christ, the rapture, what is future, what is past, and whether or not we are living in the “end times”.
“I don’t think we should just check out on this discussion. Christians are repeatedly commanded to live in light of the end. Be studious. Study the Word. Be gracious to others, and be optimistic and hopeful.” ~ Aaron Currin

August 16, 2021 How Should Christians Use Social Media?
Despite warnings of addiction, depression, and increased anxiety from sociologists and psychologists, Christians, and Americans in general, continue to swarm to social media platforms. Is this a problem? And how should Christians utilize social media?
This week, Aaron, and guest-hosts Maggie Seibert and Tim Miller discuss the unique dangers of social media for believers, as well as the ways it can be useful and helpful.
“We become like what we like. We’re porous creators, we absorb a lot. And we become like the things we give ourselves to. So we’re either going to be brought down by idols, or growing in Christ and becoming more like Christ.” ~ Tim Miller

August 09, 2021 Should Christians Embrace or Reject Critical Race Theory?
Critical Race Theory saturates our media and is pressed forward by most within formal educational circles. But Christians seem either uninformed or divided on how CRT should be handled. Therefore, the glaring question remains: should followers of Christ embrace parts or all of the theory or reject and denounce it completely?
This week, Aaron, and guest-hosts Dashawn Cousins and Shane Scott discuss what CRT is, what it’s not, what critical thinking and Christian unity actually looks like, and what it means to love one another well in light of the gospel.
“We need to think critically and celebrate what God has given us, love one another across boundaries, seek the unity that Jesus prays for in John 17, and direct people again and again to the Word of God, and pushing forward the truth.” ~ Aaron Currin

August 02, 2021 Is It Sinful to Not Raise Hands in Corporate Worship?
As followers of Christ gather each weekend across the world, there are varied expressions and postures of worship. Some are stoically reserved while others are brazenly demonstrative.
For the conscientious Christian, though, the question that must legitimately be answered is, how should I respond to the Lord in corporate worship?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Danie Taylor and Mike Trill discuss how Christians are called to respond to the Lord in corporate worship, how to prepare our hearts, what worship is, and whether or not churches in our day have lost the point of worship services in the first place.
“Worship is not primarily about us—it’s about the Lord. But secondarily I’m here for my brothers and sisters who need that encouragement, who need that catechesis, who need to be instructed in the Word and the gospel.” ~ Aaron Currin

July 26, 2021 Should Christians Own Guns?
The decision lies before all Christians and is hotly contested across evangelicalism: should believers wield firearms to protect or refuse firearms to serve? And while Scripture does not address guns specifically, the Bible does have a lot to say about violence and peacemaking, and which we are called to as followers of Christ.
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Dashawn Cousins and Joshua Michael discuss the issue of guns and their place in the lives of believers.
