035 - Christian Nationalism and patient discipleship w/ Caleb Campbell

When people you've loved and pastored fall prey to the temptations of culture wars, what do you do? When the pastor and theology hasn't changed but the culture around them has, how do we respond faithfully but compassionately?

033 - Burpees, Bibles, & Brews w/ Solid Men

In this episode we focus on Men's physical and spiritual health all through the transformative power of sharing a cup of coffee after a workout. We chat w/ Lance Rogers of SOLiD Men Australia. The informal discussions following grueling workouts allow men to open up about their lives, struggles, and triumphs. Lance explains that the physical exertion helps break down walls, making participants more receptive to discussing personal challenges. The ‘metaphorical ball’ is passed around, giving each man the opportunity to share as much or as little as they feel comfortable, fostering an environment of trust and support. #Men #mental #health https://www.solidmen.com.au/ [https://www.solidmen.com.au/]
