Restless: Raw, Unscripted, Reformed Radio

This week we interview our guest from last week on the acclaimed episode "We Know Who Killed Mars Hill" Matt. As college friend of the host we learn his path to Reformed Theology and some of the common struggles related to it.

Sit back and enjoy Restless.

Enjoy Episode 56 of Restless where we answer the question asked in episode one of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill: Who Killed Mars Hill?

It's our first #riseandfallofmarshill listening party. Come along and enjoy segments like "Why We Liked Mark Driscoll" and "Op Matt Was Listening to the Podcast and Maybe Heard the Problems of Where This Show is Going".  We are joined by a guest also named Matt who turns out to be a helpful promoter of the show.

There is still time for you to rate and review this show for your chance to win Pastor Michael's book on forgiveness. If you would like to join us for a future Mars Hill listening party email us at [email protected]

In this episode we discuss something that has been grinding Matt’s gears. We discuss the crisis of Pastors in jail in Canada and Christians feeling flatfooted. Restless takes the bold stand that we need to start working hard to understand the biblical relationship between the church and state.

The Restless podcast wonders why TGC doesn’t use its influence to support the Pastors who have been imprisoned in Canada for violating health orders to gather as church over the last year. We hopefully leave you with a few biblical foundations as a starting placebo think through this issue yourself.

If Matt’s voice sounded off its because later that week he tested positive for Covid-19. Don’t worry he is ok and this episode was not a super spreader event.
