This week, the crew talks about an increasingly hot topic in the church world, “deconstructionism.” The scriptures show that people have been wrestling with their faith since the beginning of time. However, our goal is to wrestle in ways that refine and strengthen our faith, rather than redefine or deconstruct it. 

Over the next several episodes, the crew is tackling some of the cultural issues the Church is currently facing. Today, they set the stage by taking a deep dive into the concept of culture. They talk about what culture is, the complexities of secular vs. Christian culture, and how Christ Followers often engage in these different cultural contexts. 

Bonus Episode! In the spirit of Christmas and our season, Setting the Story Straight, the crew takes on The Nativity. As they studied the scriptures and the history around the birth of Jesus, they were blown away by the folklore and tradition we allow to creep into our memory of this story. There are some fun and fascinating discoveries, but ultimately we hope it gets you focused on what is important as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior.

In the season finale of Setting the Story Straight, Lorri, Jeff, and Joey take on one of the more popular children’s Sunday school stories, “Jonah & the Whale.” What was Jonah’s deal? Why did he run? How can we be like Jonah? The crew processes what the whole series revealed: the stories aren’t really about the character, or us – but about a big God with a big heart for all mankind.

The podcast crew is back with a new episode, “The Prodigal Son.” Lorri, Jeff, and Joey explore the story isn’t just about one son, but two; and about a gracious, loving father who pursued them both. What does this story have to do with us? God? Repentance?

Today, instead of a Bible story, the Roundtable crew sets the story straight on “church stuff.” You might have grown up thinking you had to read your Bible, go to church, and pray - or else. Lorri, Jeff, and Joey explore if these activities aren’t as much a “have to” as they are a “get to.”
