The Mainstream Evangelical

This is an excerpt from the audio version of my book, Redemptive Deconstruction: A Critical Examination of Evangelical Christianity That Doesn't Lead to Atheism or Progressive Extremism. In this podcast, we examine part one of my chapter on The Church and Politics. In it, we look at a brief history of the American political system, the influential groups in politics, political extremism, and how to reevaluate our approach to American politics.

There is no one size fits all answer to this question. There are varying degrees of Christian Nationalism. In this episode, we discuss patriotism, nationalism, fascism, and white nationalism and how they relate to Christian Nationalism. 

In this episode, we discuss how deconstruction is defined, its history, and its modern application in regard to faith.

In this episode we discuss knowing God for ourselves outside a church framework, that we don't have to be conservative to be a Christian, not adopting a viewpoint that violates scripture, not trading conservative extremism for progressive extremism, understanding that not all problems have a political solution, making sure we don't harm the reputation of Jesus with our political views and making sure the salvation of the lost remains our priority.

In this episode, we explain the vision of The Mainstream Evangelical and discuss different types of Deconstruction.

In this episode, we talk about human trafficking, how to recognize it, and what you can do about it. We also look at cancel culture and its ramifications on society, including the LGBTQ community's attempt to get Dr. Crenshaw fired and the shutting down of debate on important issues on the right and the left. And then we examine ways Evangelicals can impact culture in a positive way.

In this podcast, I talk to Tim Whitaker of The New Evangelicals about progressive and traditional theology. We address everything from original sin, the deity of Jesus, and what salvation really means to inerrancy and bible prophecy. This is another podcast you don't want to miss.

In part one of our latest podcast Tim Whitaker of The New Evangelicals and I discuss Christian Nationalism and current political subjects such as, poverty, healthcare, the environment, gun violence, LGBTQ+ issues, race and more. You don't want to miss this podcast. Tim was a trooper and was gracious enough to endure a one-hour forty-minute interview. It wasn't supposed to be that long but time flies when you're having fun. Part two will talk about progressive and traditional theology.

This is our latest podcast. It's about the Rock Church scandal in Virginia Beach. Their lead pastor got caught soliciting a minor for sex in a prostitution sting and HE WAS LEADING A CHURCH SERVICE TWO DAYS LATER. And to make matters worse, I used to go to this church and know him and his wife. As much as I hate to talk about this, there are a number of important issues that need to be addressed. There is a right way and a wrong way to handle something like this and the Rock Church handled it way wrong.

In this episode, we talk about how the American political system works, the history of our political system, who the different groups of people are and how they manipulate people of faith. And we do all of this from a non-partisan point of view.
