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!

What is the purpose of borders? What gives nations the right to determine who can enter, and when and where? Aren't all humans citizens of Planet Earth? We'll also discuss Hebrews 13:2's injunction to show hospitality to strangers, as we may in fact be entertaining angels without realizing it. What are the moral and ethical grounds for showing hospitality and who should we offer it to? We discuss!

What is the difference between patriotism and nationalism? Can you be critical of your country and still be patriotic? Is nationalism always wrong? And is your favorite Marvel character? Guest Hugh Hollowell joins us and we discuss!

In these contentious times, is finding common ground a way to move beyond political division? How does common ground differ from compromise, or “meeting in the middle”? Also, what is the best Halloween candy, and do people who love candy corn also love hoppy beer? We discuss!

Is God male or female? Both? Other? Today we discuss the shifting landscape of gender identity, what science can tell us and how people of faith are responding. This is particularly pertinent as the Trump administration aims to narrowly redefine gender as a biological, immutable condition determined at birth. Tune in!

Are you more comfortable with the familiar and the known, or do you have a proclivity to explore the unknown? Some say that the greatest people in history were ones who were able to venture out into new areas, and brave the unknown. How does this apply to your life, to your beliefs, to society? We explore! Plus: Bryan's 10th anniversary of doing Pub Theology.

A group of Christians is traveling the country by bus on a national tour seeking to encourage evangelicals to consider voting for the common good. What is the common good? According to one common contemporary usage, rooted in Aristotle's philosophy, common good refers to "a good proper to, and attainable only by, the community, yet individually shared by its members." All members? Historically marginalized members of the community? What about people in other countries? We discuss! Plus, what is invisible that you wish you could see?

How do you talk with people who hold a different perspective than you do? Have you found helpful ways to engage? Unhelpful? We discuss that, plus life-giving practices and whether or not October is the best month! Tune in!
