CaffeinatedConversations

This episode covers three articles that were front and center on the home pages of prominent news sites and covered stories of Christians going to court with other Christians. Why is this kind of thing permissible in the Church when the Bible explicitly admonishes us against doing things this way in 1 Corinthians 6? What is causing this litigiousness among Christians?

Does commitment to Christ automatically mean commitment to His Body? What does a committed member of the local church look like? Why should someone even be committed to the local church?

Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire has recently made some "inflammatory" words about transgenderism. Other conservative podcasters like Matt Walsh have been accused of being too harsh on this topic. Are they being too harsh or is there a place for the kind of rhetoric they've used? And as Christians how should we respond to this call to "eradicate" transgenderism?

We as Christians talk an awful lot about the Gospel which is a good thing since it's the very message we're called upon to proclaim. But when we're asked to articulate the Gospel are we able to do so? Can we explain what the message is? What a person needs to believe in order to come to know God and grow in his or her walk with Him? This is not a minor issue and yet the seems to be a lot of fuzziness around what exactly the Gospel is. R.C.

EPISODE DISCLAIMER: I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MUFFLED AUDIO QUALITY ON THIS EPISODE. I HAD A MICROPHONE ERROR AND THE AUDIO DIDN'T RECORD PROPERLY SO I HAD TO SALVAGE AS BEST I COULD We tend to think that it is our job as Christians to save the world. This leads us to think in much grander ways about how to go about accomplishing this task. We seek to "bring in the kingdom" through legislative means, through progressive policies, through Christian nationalism, etc. etc. However, Jesus says the world will hate us. It's never going to welcome us as saviors and deliverers. With that in mind, should we be focused on trying to save the world like many in the world are attempting to do so? Or does the Great Commission and the Church have a different mandate? One that is much smaller and involves friendships, evangelism, and discipleship?

It's shocking to see how bad our culture is at forming and maintaining deep, intimate friendships. Social media, obviously, convinces us that we have a LOT of friends but studies show people are more isolated and have less friends than they did thirty years ago. Unfortunately this crisis is mirrored in the Church; the very place where relationships should thrive the most. The life of Christ and the fruit of the Spirit are lived out in relationships. How can we expect to have solid, mature Christian lives if we don't even know how to form godly friendships? Pastors and church leaders must address this issue if we desire to break ranks with our culture in a central area of human existence.
