Atarah, Dr. Haynes and Blake come together to discuss lessons learned from 2020 and how the church should respond to present issues in 2021.
This week we talk about the reemergence of racist speech and attitudes that we have observed in the country as well as the remnants of racist thought and attitudes that still exist in some areas of the country. We discuss how we need to learn from human history in terms of how we talk about one another and think about our fellow man.
This week we tackle the question “are Megachurches biblical?” We discuss some of the pros and cons of larger churches and how money and fame can easily turn a large church into more of a business than a gathering of Christ followers.
This week we tackle a conversation about the Enneagram! We talk about our own enneagram numbers and the strengths and pitfalls that exist when using a tool like the enneagram!
This week the conversation about self care has evolved into one about how social media has changed the younger generations and what they value. It seems we are swinging back to traditional values in many ways as millennials realize the importance of being present in parenting.
This week on the podcast we discuss the worldly idea of self love and self care vs. the more biblical idea of Sabbath rest. How do the two differ and how has culture shaped our ideas and understanding? We talk about it all here!
This episode we begin the discussion of what it looks like for the church to respond to extreme mental health issues in our communities. The books recommended at the end are The Gospel comes with a House Key by Rosaria Butterfield and Instruments in the Redeemers Hands by Paul David Tripp.
This week we discuss cancel culture!! Is it righteous or just? How should we handle sins of public figures? We discuss it right here. Quote of the week: “if Jesus didn’t cancel me how can I do that to others?” Dr. Holly Haynes
This week Carissa and Blake discuss broader solutions and trends for society at large as it regards police brutality, racial profiling, and the role of the media.
In this episode we begin to talk about solutions that we can take in our personal lives and within our local churches to further the discussion on race and facilitate healing.
This is our third discussion on the church and race. We ended up talking a lot about social media and how not to respond in the midst of pain. Next week we hope to talk about solutions and what reconciliation looks like. The date on this podcast is 5.22 but it was made 5.29.2020
This week we are having on our good friend and podcast regular Ridge Eckstein to discuss how his view stereotypes, biases, and other race related issues has evolved being raised in the south.
We were compelled to spend our first podcasts starting a discussion on how the church should address racism, prejudices, and the idea that systemic imbalances exist in American institutions. Please comment and join the conversation, and share our show!
