87 - Excommunication and Renewal With Brandon Carleton

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 1, 2019 100:23


After growing up religious and then leaving his faith behind, Pastor Brandon Carleton started to feel like he was throwing the baby out with the bathwater. After years of deconstructing, then reconstructing his beliefs, he began to ask questions like: Is there a way to cut through religious dogma and create authentic community? What would it look like to lead from a position of not having all the answers? What if much of what we are so often taught about the Bible is only one of many ways to interpret the text? This vulnerable and contemplative book offers hope to anyone who has felt excommunicated from a traditional faith system. Through stories of trial and error, Brandon Carleton presents a different approach to faith, pastoring, and ultimately, how to find religion meaningful again. www.meaningfulagain.com Support us on Patreon! | www.patreon.com/notyourpastors Twitter, Facebook, Instagram | @notyourpastors Email: notyourpastorspodcast@gmail.com Music: Intro: Bringing Down Broadway Break: “Something Elated” by Broke For Free Outro: “Enthusiast” by Tours --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/notyourpastors/message

THE END IS NEAR! At least here is what happens when you mix modern day conspiracies with the biblical evangelical eschatology… Once Johnny B Good-christian reaches that last remote people group with the gospel, the Christian population is going to slip into an alternate dimension with Jesus. Meanwhile, chaos will erupt on earth, earthquakes are going to shake apart the neglected and tortured floating ball. As people are trying to cope with the dramatic climate change, a secret post-Nazi government with a human/robot hybrid army will come on the clouds and cease the remaining population and take them by storm. The whole world will succumb to a single seemingly nice dude who provides goods and services for his followers so long as they identify with him by taking his number. As he’s sitting upon his giant commerce empire the inhabitants of earth will be forced into the labor of cleaning up the disaster of all that left behind laundry and rebuilding a mock temple so he can have one final throwdown with God.

62 - Wait, Why Was Jesus Baptized? Why Are We?

Grow up in church? How many times have you been baptized? Sprinkled? Dunked? What’s baptism for? Is baptism essential for salvation? Why do some people choose never to get baptized? And why in the world was Jesus baptized? Was it for the remission or forgiveness of his sins? Jason has actually had the privilege to visit the baptism of site of Jesus... both of them! (follow us on Instagram to see pictures). It seems the deeper we submerge our heads under the topic of baptism the more crazy it gets! The guys try to clear up some confusion around the church practice as they also share their preaching and teaching fails on the subject. What’s your baptism story? We’d love to hear it and read it on an upcoming show! Reach out to us on one of or social media outlets or shoot us an e-mail.

Joy Beth Smith is a managing editor with Christianity Today and releasing her new book “Party of One” this week! She comes on the show and enlightens us on the church’s failing when it comes to interacting with single people. She rightly points out how the church is steeped in the idolatry of marriage both in doctrine and in practice, and how the prosperity gospel is still alive and terrible in the single world. Joy Beth also has a bold and powerful call to the unmarried: Don’t wait until marriage! While Party of One may be written for single women in the church who are desiring marriage, it’s full of insight for the married and how we can minister to one another despite our marital status. This interview was a blast, we hope you enjoy! Grab a copy of “Party Of One” today! Available through Nelson publishing, Amazon (http://a.co/ffgx3Wt), or wherever fine books are sold!

Death: it's the only guarantee in life, but it wasn't supposed to be that way. Mankind wasn't designed to die, mankind was designed to live forever. Death is such a part of life that it's hard to picture life without death. In fact, death has such a hold on us, that your view of it, determines how you live your life. Some work hard to leave something for their offspring. Some enjoy every last moment while they can. Some give up because they find no point to life.  Enter in Jesus, a man who died, and three days later rose from the grave. Showing mankind for all of history that there is victory over death. Death doesn't have the final say, their is something after it, life continues. His story is so profound that His legend has transcended generation after generation for over 2,000 years. Til this day, believers in the resurrection still gather on Sunday morning to cling together in remembrance and in hope of His story, and that in and of itself is miraculous.  Listen in as Alex and Jason discuss death and frankly make a lot of mistakes while speaking because they both stayed up too late watching Stranger Things 2 the night before.
