Theology on Air

In case you missed it live, here is the audio from our Tuesday night event. The questions range from social to biblical to moral. Some are timeless and some are contemporary...a little something for everybody! 

Erica Raggett, Founder and Executive Director of A 2nd Cup (www.a2ndcup.com) in The Heights, joins Theology on Air to talk about the serious problem of "modern day slavery", human trafficking. She talks about what we can do to fight it and the variety of ways it exists. 

We recently hosted a show on evolution and not all thought all points-of-view were represented. So we're following up to cover all our bases! Enjoy this discussion that goes even more in-depth on evolution and whether it can answer some of life's biggest questions. 

Why did the Berlin Wall fall? What was life like on the East side? We are joined by a very special guest today, Barbara Elliot. Professor at HBU, founder of The WorkFaith Connection, author of several books, and former correspondent for PBS during the Cold War, Barbara has committed her life to Christian service and shares her experiences here.

This episode follows up on a recent TOT event that asked whether Jesus was a socialist. It reviews some of the claims made that night including a study that indicated socialism provided for the poor better than capitalism. Taylor Neill and Gerhard Stubben, both part of the original event, come together for this very interesting review. 

Is the Self Care Movement pulling us away from God? What is the help vs. harm in things like the Enneagram or setting personal boundaries? In an age of “Treat Yoself!”, is the Church too individually focused? How should we take care of ourselves while also following and honoring God? Elisabeth White joins Sarah to talk about this and much more. You can read the original post here: https://elisabethmaewhite.wordpress.com/

Does the Bible teach a gender binary? What does a biblical worldview have to say about transgender issues? Should Christians honor trans pronouns? We talk about that and much more with Robert Gagnon and Megan Rohrer.

A few episode notes. Yes, we know this is the second time this episode has appeared on the feed. No, we are not just trying to get some extra downloads! For the radio portion of our outreach, the episode needs to be 58 minutes, so we tell everyone involved we are going to do a 58-minute version but hopefully continue for Facebook Live and YouTube. This episode will air on 8/13 so it needs to be at the top of our RSS feed. Given the importance of and interest in this episode, we wanted to issue the entire, unedited conversation on the feed as well, which we did on July 25. So if you already listened to that, you can delete or not download this episode.

Are psychics for real? Can you talk to the dead? Are are mediums just experts at a number of carefully planned hoaxes that dupe those who want to believe? What about tarot cards, palm readers and ghosts? What should Christians think about them?  We talk about that and much more with a special guest today on Theology on Air.

Should Christians support the death penalty? Are the Old Testament texts that prescribe it still binding? If so, which ones? Or does the New Covenant make the death penalty something Christians should not support? We'll talk about that and much more on today's Theology on Air. With Evan McClanahan and John Medaille.
