Beyond Sunday

With Election Day just around the corner, political divisions seem deeper than ever—even among Christians. This week on Beyond Sunday, we discuss a Christianity Today article asking how Christians can confront injustice without demonizing those we disagree with. Can we stand firmly for what we believe while still loving our political opponents? How do we balance justice, reconciliation, and Christian unity? And what should the church look like the day after the election?

Monsters aren't just for Halloween—they're in the Bible too! From Leviathan and Behemoth to terrifying angels and the beasts of Revelation, Scripture is filled with some pretty strange creatures. This week on Beyond Sunday, we explore what these biblical monsters reveal about our fears, our understanding of evil, and even God himself. Plus, why do we tend to make the Bible a little less scary than it really is?

The new Narnia adaptation has sparked some strong reactions, especially over the decision to have a woman voice Aslan. But why do changes to beloved stories sometimes feel like challenges to our faith? This week on Beyond Sunday, we discuss book-to-movie adaptations, Christian traditions, and the things we sometimes treat as sacred that might not be. How do we distinguish between what's holy, what's meaningful, and what we simply prefer?

This week on Beyond Sunday, we’re asking what churches really mean when they say, “Everyone is welcome.” Inspired by The Inclusivity Trap, we talk about the difference between being welcoming and creating real belonging, whether churches sometimes confuse being loving with being nice, and what happens when inclusion actually requires us to change.

It’s spooky season on Beyond Sunday! Join us as we explore three of the Bible’s strangest and creepiest stories: Saul’s mysterious visit to the medium of Endor, Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, and the terrifying handwriting on the wall in Daniel. What’s really happening in these stories, and what are we supposed to make of them today? Grab some Halloween candy and join us for a fun dive into the weird, spooky, and surprisingly hopeful side of the Bible.
