Stoop Theology S1 Episode 13: Is It Okay for You to Watch the Shows You Watch?  

This week on the Stoop, we’re asking the question some of us avoid: is it actually okay for you to watch what you’re watching? Not a list of approved and banned shows, but a helpful and biblical framework for discernment, so you can answer that question honestly for yourself instead of relying on guilt or guesswork.  

Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 12: Navigating Pain and Suffering  

In this episode of Stoop Theology, we dive into a difficult but deeply necessary conversation about navigating pain, grief, and disappointment while following Jesus. Does Jesus guarantee us a good life if we follow him? Drawing from personal stories of profound loss, we explore a theology of suffering—and a Savior who doesn't just watch our pain from a distance, but understands it fully.

Inside Out

Jesus is not calling us to look righteous. He is inviting us to become righteous—from the inside out—so that our lives offer the true taste of the kingdom while we’re here.
