The Weekday

Why does evangelical = conservative automatically?

Is evangelicalism ruining the future of the church? Do evangelicals think that the only way to make an impact in the Kingdom of God right now is to vote the correct person into office?

Where are we in the phases of evangelicalism right now? What can we do as a church?

And are we scared of what evangelicalism and evangelical churches are representing?

That's a LOT of questions, and we attempt to answer them as succinctly and carefully as possible. 

Warning: this is a wandering conversation that may touch on a couple of hot-button issues. We would love to hear from you 👇about these issues.

We brought our resident expert Mads in for an awesome interview about all of this, plus the origins of "pmpkn szn lyfe."

Hey. We got a brand new switcher! And if you're watching on YouTube, you're going to see some of the shenanigans!

Welcome to Studio B, home of demystifying and deconstructing what faith and evangelicalism is. Today, THE WEEKDAY crew dissects the evangelical church, what our mission SHOULD be, what it has ACTUALLY looked like, a homogenized "Christian" culture, and where influencer culture is shaping how evangelicalism.

We also dive into the idea that evangelicalism, as found in the Bible, is actually being co-opted by marketing trends. 

Why is this? 

IN THIS EPISODE:
-When is too early for pumpkin? When does "pmpkn szn" start?

-How do you mark the change of seasons?

-The Holy Post episode 526: https://www.holypost.com/post/episode-526-was-the-constitution-divinely-inspired-with-kaitlyn-schiess

-A LOT of big words that we try to explain

We figured out how to do some awesome things with the video switcher, and you're in for ride of your life because of it!

There's a prevalence of opinion in the world right now that says that we are who we are and that we will never change. "People find it really hard to believe that they can change," is the mantra. 

What if the reason our world is so divided is because we are so dissatisfied and feel that we will never be better personally?

Mike, Andy, and Justin have a real and honest conversation about change, transformation, the role of the church in that, and how we can actually turn messiness into messages of hope. 

Can transformation happen? Let us know your thoughts.

----------

Welcome to THE WEEKDAY. 
Where we promise we're not going to bash social media. 
Where we're STILL constantly surprised by how much Justin has not watched.
Where we're trying to have conversations that matter in this space.

And of course...MORE Unsolicited Marriage Advice for our good boy, Justin! 
Drop your own pieces of advice for him and Elana into the comments of this video.

👇 Comment below, and we'll tackle it in this series!👇

We're not talking about people who leave their belongings all over the place. We're talking about the "messy" people in our lives.

You know...THOSE people. 
The ones that you don't agree with. 
The ones that are posting inflammatory things and believing things you don't believe. 
The ones that get under your skin and annoy ever part of you.

The Bible speaks a lot about this very topic, but oftentimes we "know" too much about it, yet we never actually know how to ACT and RESPOND appropriately.

We never know how to DO something about it.

Mike, Andy, and Justin start diving into a topic that soon turns into a conversation on joy, being a caged rat, counseling, fight-or-flight in every part of our lives, anger, and how to be a "good" Christian, among MANY other things.

ALSO:  Unsolicited Marriage Advice makes its debut on the show, and we get DEEP. After a prerequisite amount of hilarity, of course.

What advice do YOU have for Justin and Elana?

Is influencer culture ruining the church? Is the stigma of younger leaders who are seeking to use their influence through social media something that older leaders frown upon?

Or does this just reflect upon what our churches are doing in terms of discipleship, relationship, and emotional connect?

We have a crisis of leadership in general, not just in the church, but also throughout the world. There is a GAP between successful leaders that are older and the younger people who are trying to change the world.

Why is that? Why is influencer culture getting a push-back from older generations even as they seek to do good?

Join Mike (freshly back from vacation!), Andy, and Justin as they tackle this hard-hitting question and solve ALL of the world's problems along the way.

Also, Andy has a BIG REVELATION. Watch or listen now to hear about it.

IN THIS EPISODE:
-An in-depth analysis of brain chemistry and "joy"
-Passing on leadership to a younger generation: is it bad?
-Bing tips
-Favorite summer vacations ever
