When Grievance Becomes Gospel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How should Christians respond when cultural movements begin to reshape the message and mission of the Church? In this episode, we examine the modern Woke movement, its roots in Critical Theory and identity politics, and why it is incompatible with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Most importantly, we argue that true reconciliation,

Can Worship Be Too Casual? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does God expect when His people gather to worship? In this episode, we explore the liturgical practices of the early Church, the role of Scripture, prayer, Communion, and singing, and the ways different Christian traditions express these priorities.
