Ep.76 - When you Desire Inclusivity

As Bible-believing Christians we should all desire a faith community that is as inclusive as possible.  After all, we all understand that if Jesus could accept me then there is no reason to believe He couldn't accept everyone else.  However, even with how fundamental inclusivity is to the Gospel message it has been tough to achieve in the everyday experience of the believer's life.  This lack of inclusivity has led many well-intentioned believers down a lot of different paths and approaches to achieve an inclusive experience within the American church.  In this episode, Kirk takes a deep dive into the inclusive message of the Gospel and the various approaches that have been taken recently in order to put that message on display.  Enjoy!

Ep.75 - When there is a Revival at Ashbury University

American Christianity has been captivated by what has been called a revival at Ashbury University, a small Christian college in Kentucky.   Plenty of Christian ministers and commentators have jumped in to help us all determine if this non-stop worship service is an authentic act of the Holy Spirit or a phony work of Satan.  In this episode, we will refrain from adding our voice to the endless amounts of scrutiny being levied and instead have a conversation about worship music as a whole.  The current activity of this Ashbury Revival is primarily singing so we will take a look at a worship song in the book of Psalms and compare it to current trends in modern American worship music.  The goal is not to create a report card for the songs that we sing, but instead to have tools to tune our own hearts for the substance the Bible prioritizes when we sing.  Enjoy!!

Ep.74 - When Christians Can't Get Along Pt.2

In this episode, Kirk has a great conversation with Pastor Zach Lambert of Restore Austin.  Restore Austin is a church that intentionally provides a safe community for all people including those from openly LGBTQ+ lifestyles.  Zach's convictions push him into the feared "Progressive" zone of Christian Twitter, where he openly shares his beliefs and how they shape the ministry of Restore Austin.   Kirk and Zach dive into the progressive v. conversation debate and specifically LGBTQ+ questions and how Restore attempts to remain biblically faithful while wholeheartedly affirming those from typically denounced lifestyles in the Christian faith.  Enjoy!

Ep.73 - When Christians Can't Get Along

A Twitter war rages between "Progressive Christians" and "Conservative Christians" if you haven't noticed good for you!  However, this Twitter spat highlights a more significant issue that has plagued Christendom since the time of Christ.  Why do we struggle so much with diversity within the body?  In this episode, Kirk introduces us to a helpful new concept called "missional diversity" that if properly understood and applied can significantly aid the American church in finding more appreciation for diversity in the Body and less vitriol between members of the Body.  Enjoy!!
