051 - New Reformers… Same old Sin

09/17/22 • 34 min

We begin this one with a look at Matt Chandler, who has "stepped down" after some behavior which any person could easily have known was bad. This leads to the greater phenomenon of pastors confessing their sins to their congregation, but mostly only AFTER getting caught in their sin. The insanity continues with some headlines about a former church elder who killed his wife, a prison chaplain who sexually abused prisoners, and of course, an update on Brian Houston. Yes! He is already speaking at churches...about cancel culture! We guess that being fired for being an awful human and a bad Christian is cancel culture. And don't you worry, we have an update about Dave Ramsey too.

052 - Evangelicals Are Bothered, But Can’t Be Bothered

We turn our attention to a Relevant Magazine article which tells us about how white Evangelicals are super concerned about America being a “Christian nation.” Other racial demographics, not so much. This doesn’t seem sus, as the cool kids like to say. We continue the number crunching with the alarming statistic that a minority of Christians understand tithing (probably including pastors). The rest of will be a surprise, but let’s just say that no, you don’t have to be Republican to be a Christian, silly rabbit. And apparently we really annoyed some people by suggesting that debt forgiveness is an actual, factual Christian thing to do. Maybe they accidentally read the Satanic Bible instead of the Holy one? You decide.

053 - Is Christian Nationalism Bad for the Church?

So it turns out that separation of Church and State only applies if you’re anything but an Evangelical Christian. Or at least that’s what a torrent of headlines seem to be saying. It almost seems like some cross-shaped conspiracy. Also, it turns out that kickbacks aren’t just for Chicago politicians; some African Methodist Episcopal church leaders are all about serving God’s kingdom through self enrichment. And of course we just had to explore someone else’s opinion as to why Christians are losing credibility in the country. Their answer is some we predictably don’t agree with, but only because the author missed the bullseye. At least he still hit the target, though.
