This week's we're following up our discussion on secondary issues by talking a bit about legalism and the goodness of God's law. Ultimately we should be motivated by love because God first loved us. But serious topics like these don't deter us from talking about Tolkien, Disney, and child proof locks.

Our recommendations for the week are:

So we're done talking about the essentials, what else is there to talk about? How about an entire episode on secondary issues! Do we focus too much on them? Do they really even matter if the gospel is being preached? Is it worth a conversation? Well, we thought so.

This week we recommend:

The Clearing (if you're a fan of true crime).

This week we're finishing up our series on the essentials of Christianity by talking about Monotheism, after talking about Cruella Deville and dad jokes, of course. Also a little tidbit about Eden. It's kind of a grabbag, ya know?

This week's episode is a follow-up to last week, when we talked about the importance of understanding and sharing the gospel. This week we wanted to give a few examples of how we "lose" the gospel, or how we are tempted to preach "other gospels" or other versions of good news that may stem from the benefits of following God's commandments. But before the serious stuff, Sam and Josh discuss their weeks, the sickness that's been going around, introducing their children to their favorite forms of nostalgia, like Raggedy Ann, and then a bit on purity culture.

Please stay tuned after the theme tune for some clarification from Josh on some of the comments he made on this episode--he recognized that he didn't do a very good job explaining himself and would hate for you to feel condemned by his poor choice of words.

Continuing on in our series on the core doctrines of Christianity, this week we're discussing the gospel. Yeah, it's kind of a big topic, but hopefully we can make it simple in an hour and half; except that the first portion of the episode consists of venting about our children, farmers' tans, and a fig tree.
