Today we revisit a classic episode (1 of 2) that answers the question "Should women be able to be Pastors?" Our guest is Melissa Houdmann. You may recognize her from her and her husband’s website GotQuestions.org. Got Questions is a website dedicated to answering biblical questions. They have currently answered close to 700,000 questions. Melissa considers herself a complementarian and we thought she would be perfect to explain this viewpoint. We are breaking down the term 'complementarianism' and discussing men and women's complementary roles in the church.

Today, the guys discuss open theism and the practice of stewardship, as well as a news article about a church that hired a sex offender. You may be familiar with the church and its pastor. Although the offense occurred a long time ago, the leadership failed to properly disclose this information to the congregation. Our intention is never to slander or tarnish anyone's reputation. However, this situation raises an important question: How should churches handle similar circumstances in a way that shows love for everyone while prioritizing the safety of their flock?

Today Mike and Ryan take a few moments to respond to the tragedy that took place this week at a private Christian school in Madison, WI. We lament the fact that events like this have become commonplace. Often we feel at a loss for how to respond. We don’t come into this conversation claiming to have all the answers, but there are some points for Christians to consider that get lost in the heat of moments like this, so we invite you to listen and take with you whatever you hear that helps you in your journey towards being more like Jesus and extending His peace in a world that is not as it should be.

What makes a miracle... a miracle? Is God obliged to perform miracles on our behalf? In a recent sermon, renowned Pastor and Author Andy Stanley stated that Christians are only required to believe in two miracles. Is this true? Today we're exploring this bold claim and discussing what resonates with us, what challenges us, and what we think might be missing. Whether you’re a seasoned believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, we pray this conversation encourages you to reflect on the miraculous and its place in faith today.
