As we launch into our new series, "Commissioned," (focusing on the Great Commision, naturally) Anthony talks about what it mean for us to tell our story and spread the word of God.

Matthew 28:16-20

Anthony asked us to talk about the new Colin Kaepernick Nike ad, so we talk about it from every angle, from the Biblical understanding of being a prophet, to American consumerism, to turning a blind eye to things we don't want to see, and everything else that jumps out at us.

Then, someone writes in to ask if they're a heretic or not, and we try and figure that out.

Ann Spears joins the podcast as three pastors who have battled with talking about our relationship to the Pharisees from the stage gather to talk about what makes this subject tough to talk about, and why hypocrisy is so easy. Plus, we're joined - noisily at first, but gradually much more calmly - by Brandi's one-year-old daughter, and we talk about the Enneagram WITHOUT KAITLYN EVEN BEING THERE, which will probably lead to some repercussions for all of us.

As Ken looks at Matthew 15, he focuses on how Jesus points out that what comes out of our hearts is what corrupts us, not what goes in. We are surrounded by a crowd of people we would consider hypocrites - but that's all of us. Love means that we see other people the way God sees them. That's what humility actually looks like.

Matthew 15: 1-11

As Brandi relates her story to her love of the movie Mean Girls, we start to look at what real kindness looks like. How do we see rightly in this world? How do we avoid judging? And is it possible to not see the specks in our neighbors' eyes at all?

While everyone else is away, Andy answers a few AMA questions solo. He tackles questions about the innerrancy of scripture, the Bible as a living, breathing document, and how our interpretations matter.

The new series kicks off with part of an interactive survey conducted in real-time to find out whether Christians follow more in line with Jesus or the Pharisees. Kaitlyn unveils how the survey also points out hypocrisy in the church and its members, and how understanding the distinction between that and selfawareness can actually put us on the right path to becoming truly stronger Christians.

Matthew 24:1-4
