With it officially being summer, the team is going to practice what they preach - but not without first inviting you to do the same.

This week kicks off asking if 11am on Sunday morning really is the most segregated hour in America - and we don't stop there. Discussing the perceived vs. actual brokenness of the systems in our country, considering what it means to be divisive vs. calling out divisions in our churches - it's another week of talking about tough topics, and we hope you're talking about them, too.

In true Ministry Chemistry style, the team poses a whole lot more questions than answers in this week's discussion about the current climate of our country. Protests vs. riots, sympathy vs. empathy, facts vs. opinions - we're all over the map because, like so many others, we're just trying to figure out the best way to go.

Church buildings are re-opening and the people are beginning to gather again - but how should that happen? What should the focus be? And what are the things we just can't WAIT to get back to, again?

There are everyday voices that are a part of our lives and then there are those who we'll never meet, but whose words have a profound impact on our paths, as well. Today, the gang shares who some of those voices are for them and how they first heard of Ravi.

Continuing the discussion on last week's hot take, the team discusses the distrust that underlies some of the church's teachings and encouragements when it comes to singleness and marriage - and the value of a shift towards highlighting Christian friendship, whether a person is married or not.

The hot take on this week's episode is that the church places marriage on a pedestal. That it's become the be-all, end-all goal of life and pretty much all people everywhere should strive towards it. Unless, y'know, you're Jesus...

Our guest this week is pastor and professional counselor, Tina Fox. Tina discusses the tensions and truths between faith and mental health, the fact that some people would rather be miserable than do the hard work of getting unstuck, and the overall fragility of being human.

God is the ultimate lemonade maker. But doesn't He also make the lemons? In this week's episode, the gang considers if it's true that God is FOR us, not against us, even during these virus-shaping days...

Ever wondered what teenagers REALLY think about following Jesus? Today's guests are a part of a team hoping to reach students - all over the world - who are figuring out what it means to be the church of right now, not just tomorrow.
