This week we talk truth and lies in the #metoo era. How can we go beyond 'he said, she said' to something more substantive? What will it take to believe women? Is there room for nuance on this polarizing issue?

Guest host Layton E. Williams joins the conversation as we attempt to sort it all out. Tune in! It's Episode 103 of #PTLive.

If you remember a story different from a friend or sibling - who is right? Where does the truth lie? How do we do the hard work of history when there are multiple and/or limited perspectives, especially when those perspectives disagree? What about the history in the Bible? Is it exempt from the challenges normal history faces? Plus: Coconut Jesus makes an appearance. Tune in!

We're back! We talk about the Nike/Colin Kaepernick ad and what we think of this fusion of social justice and a major athletic brand, plus responses to it. We also discuss whether social justice is "heretical" and distracting from the Gospel, or rather essential to the Gospel. Tune in!

Bryan, Shannon and Ogun take it to the next level in Episode 100, recorded LIVE at the Wild Goose Festival! They discuss: Is It Time to Go Beyond Faith? Finding Life and Meaning in These Dark Times. Lots of great conversation between our fearless trio, along with engaging comments from the crowd. Lots of beers were enjoyed and given away. Tune in to this milestone episode!

We discuss whether we’ve ever been kicked out of a restaurant, whether it was karma or bad taste that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was booted out of a restaurant, and whether pastors should focus on being pastoral and non-political, or if they should defend the vulnerable and speak truth to power. Plus, where do we find hope? Phew - it's a full slate! Tune in to Episode 99.

We discuss the recent example of using the Bible badly by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in support of separating migrant children from their parents. We also talk about the need for self-care when everything seems to be going to @#$@&$*.

[Trigger warning] We discuss the recent deaths of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade and the issue of suicide. What are good ways to be present for friends who may be at risk? We discuss the challenge of depression and how the church has often mishandled folks who are dealing with depression or are contemplating suicide.

We discuss the Supreme Court ruling from this week that went in favor of a Colorado baker who was sanctioned for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. We discuss reactions to this decision, what kind of cake Jesus would bake (and for who), and whether this opens the door to more forms of discrimination.

We discuss whether everyone is truly "entitled to their opinion"—and what that even means. And what is the difference between a fact and an opinion? Are "facts" less reliable today than they used to be? We discuss it all, plus favorite lunch items from childhood. Tune in!

We share some of the best and worst marriage advice we've ever heard. We also discuss, in light of the royal wedding, how a term like "traditional marriage" may not mean what many folks think it means. And Rabbi Eli Freedman joins the conversation!
