Episode 20 - The Doctrine of the Church (Part 3 - Baptism)

Welcome back to the Have a Backbone Podcast! In today's episode, Daniel and Nate talk about the doctrine of baptism. Ever since the beginning of the church, baptism has always accompanied the believing of the Gospel. So what is essential to believe about baptism? Is it essential for salvation? If it's just a symbol, is it wrong to not get baptized? What kind of baptism is best - full immersion or sprinkling? Join the discussion!

Episode 19 - Can Women Be Leaders in the Church (Part 3 - Featuring Dan Lewis)

In this final part of the series on women in church leadership, Daniel and Nate once again enlist the help of scholar, pastor, teacher, Dan Lewis to unlock both the Greek language and cultural context of passages like 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14. What they discover is that in doing so, it appears likely that these passages are not, in fact, forbidding women to be pastors. And once again, the question is asked: If the Bible does not explicitly forbid women from being pastors, does the rest of Scripture support the idea that all gifts of the Spirit can be granted equally, regardless of gender?

Episode 18 - Can Women Be Leaders in the Church (Part 2)

In this episode, Nate and Daniel respond to some listener questions and feedback following the initial episode on this topic. The main question addressed? Does the Bible explicitly prohibit women from being pastors? If we were to find that the verses that are so often used to imply that they cannot aren't actually addressing the issue of women being leaders/teachers/pastors at all, then what evidence CAN we look to in the Scriptures to find an answer to these questions?

Episode 17 - The Christmas Episdoe

Merry Christmas everyone! In this episode, Daniel and Nate tackle some of the issues that are NOT really backbone things surrounding the holidays. It's probably best to not yell at your barista for saying "Happy Holidays", and your Christmas tree is probably not a pagan idol.

Episode 16 - Can Women Be Leaders in the Church? (w/ Jennifer Wilson)

The Backbone crew continues working through the doctrine of the Church by addressing the issue of leadership in the Church - specifically whether it's ok for women to hold positions of leadership. Jennifer Wilson, wife, mom and founder of the Counterculture School of Apologetics joins Daniel and Nate and shares what she's learned about the love and empowerment that the Gospel brings to women.
