The Most Unhinged Bible Stories Church Skips Over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever read a passage in Scripture that felt outright bizarre, deeply uncomfortable, and completely unexplainable on a Sunday morning? In this episode of The Easy Approach , Nate, Canaan, and Tony break open the "I can't believe that's in the Bible" files. Going in blind without knowing what the others brought to the desk, the crew dives headfirst into three of the strangest stories in the biblical text: Elisha and the Bears (2 Kings 2): Why two female bears mauled a mob shouting "Go up, Baldy," h
Is Being Overweight a Sin? (The Gluttony Debate) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We talk about pride, greed, and lust, but there is one topic the modern church almost entirely ignores: Gluttony.

This week on The Easy Approach , Nate, Tony, and Canaan take on one of the most explosive and controversial questions in modern faith:
Is the Enneagram Demonic or Just Overrated? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has church culture replaced real, hard character work with personality tests, spiritualized diet hacks, and trending buzzwords? This week on The Easy Approach , Nate, Tony, and Canaan take an unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply practical look at the church’s favorite trends - separating the genuinely helpful tools from the performative flexes. From typing systems to "protecting your peace," the guys ask the hard question: have we turned good practices into status signals and excuses to avoid real
