In this episode, we finish chapter 55, talking about the danger of resisting decay and trying to "prolong the life" of things that are in decline.

I start the episode by sharing my own discomfort with the word "evangelical" and my great struggle with trying to hold onto it and now my honest desire to reject it entirely due to the current situation in the US, because I believe it is dying.. The rest of the episode looks at four different ways we try to "prolong" the life when things really need to change and even die:

1. Becoming people-pleasers - trying to maintain a false sense of harmony/balance
2. "Conservative" thinking - not in the political sense, but in the sense of trying to idolize and hold onto the past as somehow more ideal than the present
3. Deconstruction and reconstruction - how to walk through our journeys not only of challenging old beliefs, but coming back around and redefining them
4. What about the Bible? - how the hermeneutic of "new movements" of the Spirit from the book Solus Jesus can help us understand the living, breathing nature of the collection of books and documents we call "Scripture"
