For Marty's first podcast, Ben decides to throw him in the deep end and asks a listener question he hadn't been allowed to ask before: why does the Church struggle to talk about sexuality?

It leads to a surprisingly emotional conversation about the responsibility of a pastor when they stand on a stage, preaching vs. dialogue, and how to handle the reality of abuse and pain among the people you're trying to talk to.

Today's question concerns if we are making Jesus "relatable" enough - is he too separate from us, and from our lives? Are we failing the young people we teach? Is that why young people leave the church?

On Brandi's last week in the office, she sat down with Andy and Ben to answer some final, rapid-fire questions - the things she's most proud of, the things she's most disappointed to leave behind, and as many things as we could suprise her with as possible.

Brandi gives her final sermon with The Source and uses it to talk to about courage, wanting us to always to keep our eyes on what matters.

"Sharing our faith is not an elevator pitch for our church, it’s about keeping people alive. What the church needs is not a new, shiny flyer, but courage."

She asks us to never stop stirring the gifts God gives us.

Brandi tells us how Jesus redefines discipleship when he's questioned for sitting with tax collectors. Compassion connects us all, His grace and love extends to saints and sinners and everyone in between.

With Brandi on her way to becoming a head pastor of a nearby church, the group answers the question of whether head pastor is actually a role women are supposed to move into, or is that against what the Bible says?

Brandi has stories, Bible passages, and books to recommend. Even when she’s not ready for the question... she’s ready for the question.

On one of our last few podcasts with Brandi (this is your last chance to send in questions you’d like to hear Brandi answer, so please send those in!), the group takes on how involved Jesus was in government, how much they think he’d be involved today, and what a Jesus-like approach to politics would look like.

Acts 13:47

Brandi announces that she has not and will not watch The Sixth Sense, but uses the surprising ending to talk about how the disciples felt when Jesus appeared to them after his crucifixion.

It's the beginning of a conversation about how to remember we are talking about a risen savior - and what His sacrifice means.

Luke 18:9-14

Brandi looks at the parable of the tax collector and the pharisee, and the ways we see that story wrong.

“The parable is not about forcing ourselves to be something that we’re not. It’s recognizing something that God IS.”

Justification is not earned. It’s not worked towards, or for. It’s ALWAYS the work of God.
