Join them as they discuss topics that cover everything from deconstructing your faith and ministry to marriage and parenting.

Once a month or so they take time out to talk directly to ministers.

Nothing makes people get defensive and upset quite as quickly as politics. In this episode, Matt and Steve don't tell you who to vote for, which party to be part of or even where they stand politically. What they do discuss is what it means to be a Christian in America and what we should do with our right to vote.

Maybe you've never heard the term Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, but maybe you've heard the term "Jesus Take the Wheel!" Especially in America and some of the west, the idea of Christianity has been reduced to "Be a good person, do what makes you happy, and your feelings are what matter more than anything. Basically we sprinkle a little religion into "being good" and think that's what Jesus died for. Listen in as they guys talk about the dangers of this trend.

When it comes to raising children, teaching them to respect their elders is crucial in training them how to interact with others in the future. It seems like empathy and understanding are diminished in our culture and we feel like it must begin in the home. As always, start with the end result in mind, and work towards that end.
