A great conversation with a little tension thrown in for dramatic affect! Who has the power? Who's really in charge? When do you get to kill them? 

Hello, Bert here. Number 7 hasn't been lucky for us... After I somehow lost most of my recording we decided to meet up and re-record... The only mic that caught our audio was the internal laptop microphone. I tried to clean up the audio as best I could but there is still some residual music in the background. Based solely on the audio an argument could be made to scrap it but the conversation is so good we'd have never recreated it. So, here it stands as a reminder for us to double back our buckles before we climb these mountains.

This is our kick off convo based on the "Inglorious Pastors" series from The Meeting House. 

The Meeting House is in Canada which is a kinder, gentler nation. And they come from an Anabaptist church tradition which is committed to non-violence and the peace teachings of Jesus. It is for these reasons that they are the perfect mentors for us on the subject of living as peaceful Christ followers. We, on the other hand, come from a nation that prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Therefore we dare to take on discussing the points made in the series from a decidedly American perspective.

Topic 1: Still reeling from shootings and unrest we try and work through our place in a diverse world. 

Topic 2: Is Christian Culture Copying Secular Culture - It's a bit of a rant night but I rants lead to some good discussion. Why Christians condemn the world and then tries to emulate it to attract and manipulate.

Topic 3: The origins of our Meaning and Purpose- wait for it, wait for it, and there we are... takes few turns of the key for the engine to turn over but then we get going

What is a Christian? With so many doctrines, denominations, sects, and communities out there- who gets to call themselves a Christian and who doesn't? Who draws the line on orthodoxy?
