If there truly is a spiritual aspect to Christianity, if God is spirit, then the issues of how prayer is used matters. And when it's used a spiritual manipulation - as witchcraft - then it becomes a significant issue. But do Christians really believe it's mystical/spiritual? Or do they "not know the spirit they are of?" Or just not give a damn?

Is prayer about human power? Or loving your neighbor? Listen in as Pastor Paul explains from Matthew 6 and other important Bible passages on this edition of Bible Talk. #bibletalk #UnconventionalPastor #evangelicalish #religiousrightreligiouslywrong #godisnotmadatyou #mindrenewal @PastorPaul_TikTok

From where did Christian beliefs about trans persons come? Are they biblical? Were they crafted from knowing and understanding a trans person, or how that person is beloved and interrelates with God? Pastor Ellie Dote spent over 40 years as a father, brother, husband, and son, but came to terms with her real self, embraced it, and began the journey to become Ellie.

She now ministers to those in the LGBTQ+ community and desires to bring understanding to trans and non-binary issues to the Christian community.

Let's talk God's love for the queer community on this edition of the Post Evangelical Podcast.

As many celebrated America on our recent 4th of July holiday, many churches joined in with Sunday morning worship service presentations of the American flag, reciting the pledge of allegiance and the singing of our patriotic songs with presentations as worship music. Pastor Paul wonders, do we ever stop and ask WWJD - would an incarnate Jesus interact with, or even approve of, patriotic worship in our faith gatherings.

In today's Bible Talk, Pastor Paul examines what he believes is biblical evidence that Jesus would not - in fact, it might even be a tables-turning moment in American Christianity.

Paul used to wonder why anti-abortion extremism never caused him to response while his fellow Christians were so animated by it. Scouring the Bible, Paul found little support for rightwing Christianity or anti-abortion sentiment. Watch as Paul shares why the verse used by anti-abortion Christians to shame others are NOT verses commanding a ban on abortion.
