Ep. 3 Egalitarianism

Ep. 04 Responsibility for Training Children

We should know we have responsibility to train our children. The culture seems to want that job as well. What are our responsibilities when it comes to training our children? How much say should the child have? What cultural institutions are safe and are unsafe? What about college? The military? How about Harvard?

Ep. 3 Egalitarianism

Pastor Jeff defines and contrasts some culturally relevant terms that can be bundled under the heading Egalitarianism. Feminism, Patriarchy, and Complementarianism often mean different things to different people inside and outside of the church. Are these terms biblical? How should Christians rightly view these topics and how do they impact our daily lives as designed by God?

Ep. 02 Blood Red Church

In this episode Pastor Jeff explains the differences between the red, grey and blue churches. This was the focus of one of his 11 books. In that book he explains that red-church position is not popular among many evangelicals today. Instead blue churches are pushing back against certain non-negotiable ethical positions in the public arena. The grey church chooses a "third way" celebrating political diversity in the Church attempting to remain neutral in the culture war.

Ep. 01 Exegete the Culture

Pastor Jeff and Average Joe discuss exegeting the culture. Because this is the first episode we discuss strategy for serving the Christian community by reflecting on the Christian life in a culture that's going a different way. This podcast seeks to serve Christians trying to discern when we have a responsibility to stand for certain non-negotiable ethical positions in the public arena. Many evangelicals are being convinced to appear neutral in the current culture wars. Off the Cuff, reflections on the Christian life invites you to join the conversation.
