October 06, 2023 A Raw Response to Andy Stanley and the Unconditional Conference
Andy Stanley is a pastor, speaker, author, and founder of North Point Ministries. He recently preached a sermon on how he and his church approaches the LGBTQ conversation, and specifically how they have walked with Christian parents with LGBTQ kids.

This podcast is my response to both.

September 27, 2023 Bonus Q & A (Patreon Special): Masturbation, Annihilation, Cussing, LGBTQ, and How to Share the Gospel
Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.

In the full episode, we discuss:

00:00 Introduction
00:50 What is the best Biblical argument against masturbation? I've always heard it is a sin, but I can't see why. That rule seems like a heavy burden for many.
6:18 Most modern church gatherings are focused on the “sermon”. Was this the case in the early church? Is the sermon more akin to prophecy or teaching?
21:03 What convinced you of the annihilationist view of Hell?
31:08 Friends are saying it's okay for Christians to cuss, as long as it's used in a positive context (x*#& yeah!) not tearing someone down (f*%# you). Your thoughts?
38:07 If LGBTQ issues are not an agree to disagree issue, what does that look like practically? Leave churches? End friendships? Etc?
42:18 There seems to be a fear from Complementarians that if you affirm women in leadership, you will eventually affirm Same Sex marriages. Have u seen this 2 be true
48:25 How would you share the Gospel one on one? Would you share the Romans Road? Or Bridge Illustration? Or similar to NT Wright share about Heaven coming here?
53:47 What’s your view on tithing? Many people I know see it as a taken-for-granted requirement, but the NT never says tithe, just to be generous.
57:25 "Marriage" not found in the Bible? Jennifer Grace Bird suggests this - are you familiar with her work/reading of scripture in how she approaches this? Thoughts?
1:00:54 your eschatology? Also, do you think that the pre-, post-, a-millennial ideas or a helpful framework anymore?
1:06:22 My preschooler was asked to share pronouns daily in school. How should I approach/discuss transgender topics with my *young* children in the progressive PNW?
1:13:42 A lot gets labeled as being of "The Fall" - it seems overused. I don't see the application reading Gen, Romans, 1 Corinth, etc. Is this "Biblically" merited?
1:18:20 Rapid Fire Questions…
