• What happens when we reduce Christianity to a private spirituality
• Common frustrations with the modern church—and whether they’re valid

In this two-part series, Pastors Nathan and Matt respond to a viral list of “Questions Christians Can’t Answer.” In Part 1, they dive deep into the first 5:

1. Why does God allow innocent children to suffer?
2. If God is good, why does the Bible include genocide?
3. If Jesus paid for sin, why would anyone still go to hell?
4. Why doesn’t God reveal Himself like He did to Thomas or Paul?
5. Why does God seem to keep restarting the world—was the Flood a divine do-over?

This isn’t surface-level apologetics. It’s honest, compassionate dialogue for believers and skeptics alike.

After last week’s discussion on how Christians engage with culture and storytelling, we received a great listener question:

Doesn’t Philippians 4:8 tell us to only think about things that are true, noble, pure, and lovely?
So how can we justify watching stories that include evil, grief, or darkness?

In this episode, Pastors Nathan and Matt explore:

• How to interpret Philippians 4:8 in context
• Why truth and beauty can sometimes include hard or dark elements
• How to consume content thoughtfully, not passively
• How to avoid legalism while still honoring Christ in what we take in

If you’ve ever wrestled with what’s okay to watch or listen to as a Christian, this one’s for you.

If you could build your church staff using characters from the Bible… who makes the cut?

This week, Pastor Matt and Pastor Nathan go head-to-head in a fantasy church staff draft—selecting biblical characters to fill roles like Lead Pastor, Worship Director, Youth Pastor, and more. It’s fun, slightly ridiculous, and surprisingly insightful.

Come for the laughs, stay for the leadership lessons and spiritual reflection on how God works through unlikely people to accomplish His purposes—even the ones we might overlook.
