Have you ever been told, "Don't think about it too hard, just believe!" Does belief require turning off our brains? Does knowledge come by faith, or vice versa? Jason Chesnut joins us to discuss the tension between faith, belief and knowledge on this week's episode. Tune in!

Today we talk about the Polar Vortex: is it fair to say human sin is partly to blame? Are human actions precipitating the increasing number of severe weather events happening around the globe? If so, what is the antidote? Is this a spiritual pursuit? How are churches and other faith communities addressing this issue? We're joined by Derrick Weston to discuss!

What do our dreams have to tell us? Is it our unconscious letting us know something we are unaware of? Are dreams merely random neural firings? Do they foretell anything? We'll share some of our own dreams and nightmares, as well as discuss the role of dreams in the Bible, and whether or not God still speaks through dreams. Tune in!

We discuss some of the words of Martin Luther King Jr and how they apply today. We ask whether we've learned the lessons he was trying to teach us. We also delve into the recent situation involving Catholic school kids wearing MAGA hats engaging a Native American. Were we too quick to rush to judgment? Was it correct to be outraged? Where is the instant outrage cycle taking us? We discuss!

We talk social media: how has it impacted the way we live, relationships, communication, etc. When does social media usage become an addiction, and if you step away, do you suffer from a fear of missing out? We discuss!

Why are humans so susceptible to addictions? Are churches or religious institutions helpful in guiding people to find a healthy way to manage or be freed from addictions? Is there such a thing as a "positive addiction"? We discuss!

It's our Christmas episode! We discuss our favorite Christmas movies, traditions and more, plus what does it mean to say that God became human? We wrestle with the notion of incarnation, and also whether or not it is appropriate for pastors to ruin Christmas.

In the post show of Episode 112 on the Apostles' Creed, Bryan and Ogun stick around and finish their beverages, talking sin and forgiveness, music, and more!

We discuss the Apostles’ Creed, which has been given some attention following the funeral of George H. W. Bush, in which our current President refused to join the gathered congregation in saying or reading it. We’ll review it line by line and give our thoughts on this central creed of the Christian faith.

 Back with us on the show to discuss the matter is Keisha McKenzie.

We discuss the complicated issue of legacy. With the passing of the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, lots of kind words are being shared about the sort of man and leader he was. Why is it that we tend to only praise leaders when they die? Is it inappropriate to mention questionable things they were part of? How does this apply to spiritual leaders or the founders of religious movements? Plus, should you be able to legally change your age if you feel younger? We discuss!
