We are back with another Round Table episode - this time inspired by a recent episode of My Seminary Life with Brandon Knight! Joshua Noel and TJ (Tiberius Juan) Blackwell are joined by Christian Ashley and Joe Dea to discuss how we can have unity with Christians who annoy us, are obstinate, care more about being right than loving others, etc.

.

In this episode, we will:

• Explain what we mean by "annoying Christians"
• Discuss whether a Christian's doctrine or spirit matter more
• Deconstruct the relationship between good doctrine and good practice

In a special episode, Joshua Noel is joined by Will Rose to discuss some life events, thoughts on the election (recorded before we had the results), and much more! This is not a normal episode, but more like an extended version of our God Moments segment.

.

Where do we see the Divine in our darkest times? What should Christians do now that the USA election is over? How do we process trauma? How can you support Joshua and his family in these times?

.

Here's a few of the local news channels coverage of what happened with the shooting at Joshua's house and how Joshua's wife, Tiffany, and their dog, Copper, are doing now:

This episode is all about how to worship and focus on God through music during times of political polarization. When we are most tempted to be overcome with anxiety over political strife, can worship music help us focus on God instead? Joshua Noel, Taylor Clyde, and Matthew Winter review three songs that were put together through a collaboration of The Porter's Gate Collective and the After Party program. The After Party is a program to help Churches address our times of political anxiety today. The Porter's Gate Collective is a group of people from across Church denomination working together to create practical worship music for our times that can be sung by anyone across ecumenical grounds. The songs we review in this episode, by The Porter's Gate Collective, include: "The Kingdom of Jesus", "The Lord Will Have His Way", and "Bind Us Together".

.

What political party are Christians? What is the Christian attitude to politics? Are Christian Democrats left or right? What is Jesus' kingdom? What does Jesus say about the kingdom? What did Jesus mean the kingdom of God is within you? What the Bible verse says the Lord will make a way? What is the sovereign choice of God? Is God actually all-powerful? What is the meaning of Ecuminical? What does the Bible say about ecumenism? What does God say about Church unity? What are the benefits of unity in the church?

.

In this episode, we will:

• Explore the nature of worship music
• Deconstruct Christians' relation to politics
• Discuss doctrines of sovereignty, omnipotence, and missiology in politics
• Refocus on God in times of overwhelming political anxiety
