After a river floods its banks and then recedes, have you noticed what becomes of the pools of water left behind? Would you want to drink from those pools? Of course not! Jim, Michael, and Loren discuss how easy it is to cut ourselves off from the river and choose instead to drink from cesspools of dead religion and movements long passed.

Two innocent victims. Both were brutally murdered. Two voices cry out. But one voice cries for something so drastically different from the other that it will strip naked principalities and powers and transform humanity. In this day, where many cry for justice, it's so important that we know the difference between the voice of Abel and the voice of Jesus. Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss why it's so important that our cry is the same as Jesus's.

There is currently a surge of believers referring to themselves as Trinitarians. Being that the vast majority of Christians believe in the Trinity, Jim, Michael, and Loren discuss this growing emphasis on the Trinity.

It has become increasingly popular to post quotes from the Church Fathers on social media. But are those quotes an accurate depiction of what the church fathers believed? This week Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss the church fathers and their beliefs.

Are Christians without sin? There are popular teachings that hold to this belief. Jim, Michael, and Loren discuss sin, discipleship, and what it means to be saved.

Jim asked a daring (heretical?) question, "If you could compile your own canon of scripture, what would you include? What would you remove?" This sparked a discussion about historical church leaders who engaged in canon criticism (one protestant may surprise you), wrestling with the scriptures, and interpretation. Join Jim, Michael, and Loren in this audacious conversation.

It is extremely common in Christian circles that when someone thinks differently and sees things differently, the person will be dismissed as being wounded. This is especially true if the person's thoughts challenge the status quo. Why do some Christians mark these people as wounded? And if they are indeed wounded, does that immediately mean their thoughts aren't worth considering? Jim, Michael, and Loren discuss this, which leads to a fascinating conversation about the future of the church in the West.

Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss the most difficult season followers of Jesus experience. That season of suffering when misery is your constant companion, and Father isn't doing the things you think he should be doing. That season when your beliefs are being unraveled, everything seems hopeless, and there is no deliverance in sight. This is the dark night of the soul.
