Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week tackled the following questions: (2:03 into episode) 1. I have been looking at this, I have never been taught this having grown up in the church. I am completely blown away and have now such a greater understanding of the meaning of Pentecost. Do you agree with the attached teaching from the Bible Project? I so hope you can record this before Pentecost Sunday!! https://bibleproject.com/articles/what-is-pentecost-and-why-is-it-important/ [https://bibleproject.com/articles/what-is-pentecost-and-why-is-it-important/] (7:00 into episode) 2.and we will come to them and make our home with them. John 14:23b Does this mean that not only the Holy Spirit, but the whole of Trinity has taken up residence in us as followers? (19:37 into episode) 3.Exodus 7 and 8 have magicians turning water to blood and making frogs appear. What are your thoughts on magic? (33:40 into episode) 4. What do you think about banning books in schools? And do you think parts of the bible, with violence or sexual assault should be censored for younger children? Do you think in kids church we automatically censor parts of the bible in what we teach and the curriculum for children? Resources in this episode: re-enchanting the text chapter 6 Season 4 episode 2 of the BEMA podcast

We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week we answered the following questions and some AER! (1:28 into episode) 1. not a question* just wanted to thank you for the recent information shared on Catholicism. I enjoy this podcast and have been an avid listener since the beginning (side note I have never been to living springs!). Thanks for always tackling hard questions, defending your positions and speaking truth. I look forward to learning and being challenged every week by your well informed thoughts and positions. (2:23 into episode) 2.AER Enlight of last week’s AER. I just wanted to say that I believe that all 3 of you pastors have done an amazing job at answering all the questions that come your way. I love watching your podcast and just wanted to say thank you for your continual challenge to me to be better!  (2:41 into episode) 3.AER. After a hotly discussing on Catholic verse Protestant faith. I believe it would be wise to remind people of the differences between dogmatic and doctrinal beliefs within the Christian faith My hope is that this will help to restore unity and a better understanding of this topic. (8:49 into episode) 4.Sorry, but more AER There are very good reasons why not pray to the dead saints. Al Kyle said, we have a direct line to God—to the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and why shouldn’t we use it? There is a more compelling reason in that is seems to take away the responsibility and hand it to the saint. When we pray to God, God responds to us. When we pray through another medium, the conversation with God is disjointed. It reminds me of the Israelites, when they didn’t want to meet with God directly, but only through Moses. They (like many Catholics, frankly) did not take responsibility for following God, but left holiness up to their “priest”, Rather than having a direct relationship with Christ, they look at their faith as simply being good people and doing good things. There is no real relationship with God, and when we mention this concept, they think we’re nuts.By [http://nuts.by] the way, (I just sent in AER regarding Catholicism) do not agree with the last contributor about this podcast (and I am an LSCF member) although I also do not agree with praying to dead saints as a spiritually healthy practice. To do this podcast takes a lot of courage that many (most) pastors would never attempt, opening you up to a scrutiny and dissection they could not survive. I have to admit that I am surprised there is no pushback against the one viewpoint—I liked the podcast better when there was less group-think and more pushback. It seemed bring more of others’ arguments up for discussion. Thank you for sticking with it (ie, the podcast, not your viewpoint 😉). (29:27 into episode) 5. Doug, how was your pilgrimage? What had you hoped to get out of it and do you feel you got that? What would you say has most stuck with you or what are you still ruminating on now that you've been back for a little bit?
