Episode 017: Hermeneutics
Tuesday Aug 04, 2020
Tuesday Aug 04, 2020
Hermen-a-what?? According to the dictionary, it's the study of the methodological principles of interpretation, especially that of Biblical texts, and it's also the topic of discussion that Nathan is having in this episode with aspiring counselor, Bible college student and fellow church-goer Gordon Clark. From Hell to homosexuality, from creation to revival, nothing is off the table when it comes to this particular discussion of ministry and studying the Bible.

What's it like doing short-term mission work in a country that puts you far beyond your comfort zone? And how far are you willing to go in order to keep up with that type of ministry?

Monday Jun 01, 2020
2020 is the year that keeps getting worse, and thanks to the worldwide wave of riots and protests that have sparked off in response to the murder of George Floyd, Samir and Nathan have something worth talking about on this week's episode. What are their takes on police violence against racial minorities? How do they think that justice needs to be served in this type of situation? Can a black dude and a white dude have a civil conversation about these difficult topics and somehow not get angry at each other? Let's take a listen to find out.

This week, we attempt to go back to normal as Nathan brings in his friend Jamie Newman to talk about circumstantial encounters, unexpected miracles, the process of sanctification with God, and what it's like to do ministry in the spiritual wasteland of Portland, Oregon, a city better known for hipsters and Antifa than the holy presence of the Almighty.

Episode 009: LGBT Christianity
Monday May 04, 2020
Monday May 04, 2020
This week, we're continuing to do what we can to jump the shark over a canyon, while covered in glitter and setting ourselves on fire, as Nathan brings in his friend Gary Simpson to have a reasonable discussion about what it means to be both queer and Christian, and how one can justify themselves as such when it otherwise appears to be impossible. Can they both be friendly without resorting to throwing slurs at each other? Is it safe for an audience to listen to without feeling attacked? Perhaps it's worth listening to find out.

Monday Apr 27, 2020
This week, with Samir still on vacation, Nathan attempts to incinerate the credibility of the show by bringing in his die-hard Marxist comrade Corey Knight to have a serious, hour-long discussion on whether socialism has any value as an ideology in comparison to capitalism, looking back on its history and seeing how it can be viable right now in a world gone wrong.
