June 01, 2022 A Charismatic, a Calvinist, and a Catholic Walk Into a Bar
Do cringe back at your shallow "feelings-oriented" charismatic days? Or do you roll your eyes at the arrogant rigidity of your doctrinal upbringing? Or perhaps you shake your head at your former ignorance of church history and tradition? Or maybe your faith has finally come alive after years stuck in a dusty and dead high church? Whatever your situation it seems as though Christians follow a familiar path when it comes to shifts in theology and practice. Bryan and Paul discuss these familiar patterns by engaging with an article by Dr. Scott Redd titled, "Three Modes of Christian Formation: Experience, Doctrine, and Liturgy." Also Paul says some awkward things.

January 25, 2022 What the Abortion Debate is Really About
In light of the recent March for Life, we're taking this episode to get to the heart of the controversial issue of abortion and debunk five common arguments against pro-life causes:

3. Abortion prevents kids from growing up in harsh environments.
4. Men can't have an opinion about abortion.
5. Women will resort to unsafe back-alley abortions if abortion is made illegal.
