In this episode we tackled the topic of freedom: What does it mean, where does it come from, and how to we maintain it? Mike has been doing a series on freedom on his own podcast, One Christian Thinks, and so we had him back in the studio to break down his research for us. For those of you who are sick of talking about c*vid, fear not, we did not dwell on that topic too much this episode. However, for those of you still interested in the topic, the principles discussed do certainly apply to our current governmental situation. As always, please send in your feedback as we are do for a feedback episode in the near future!  Listen to One Christian Thinks: https://onechristianthinks.podbean.com/  To keep up with the podcast, check out our website: https://www.realtalkpodcast.ca/  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, clips, and more!  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReformedRealTalk  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reformedrealtalk/  We'd love to hear from you.

Hey folks! In this episode, we had on Jonathon Van Maren, a Canadian columnist, author, speaker, podcaster, and activist.

This is a big one folks! We interviewed Pastor Aaron Rock from Harvest Bible Church in Windsor, ON, who has taken a clear public stance in favour of reopening churches. We went through at least 10 different objections to his stance and had him explain his rationale on each point. We hope that this episode will be helpful for the many Christians, especially those in leadership positions, who are wrestling with this issue and how their local church should respond to it.  We look forward to hearing from many of you as we're sure at least a few of you have some opinions on covid that you'd like to share with us ;).  If you want to check out Pastor Rock's podcast, you can find it here: https://harvestwindsor.ca/leadershipnow/ To keep up with the podcast, check out our website: https://www.realtalkpodcast.ca/  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, clips, and more!  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReformedRealTalk  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reformedrealtalk/  We'd love to hear from you.

In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Art Witten, a self-described Church Order enthusiast, who has a deep understanding of the history and content of the Church Order held by the Canadian Reformed Churches (and by extension, similar versions held by other Reformed denominations). We talked about the history of the Church Order, where it came from, why it matters, how the Canadian Reformed version compares to other denominations versions, and then dove into some specific articles that deal with topics like the calling to office (Art. 3), guarding the pulpit (Art. 15), and Psalms & Hymns (Art. 55).  We both really enjoyed this episode and learned a lot more about about this important and influential document - we hope that your experience is similar!  To keep up with the podcast, check out our website: https://www.realtalkpodcast.ca/  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, clips, and more!  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReformedRealTalk  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reformedrealtalk/  We'd love to hear from you.

She explained both the strengths and the weaknesses she sees in the Federation and also revealed the conclusions she drew after her lengthy period of study.

Rhonda Wiersma joins us for some real talk about the important topic of mental health as we enter this holiday season. We spoke about the attitudes and stigma related to mental health both within and outside the church. We tried to understand how Biblical and Christian counseling differ in their approaches and how we can get involved as counsellors to those struggling in our own lives.Here are a couple references Rhonda made in this episode:Untangling Emotions: "God's Gift of Emotions" by J.

Welcome to Part 2 of the Christmas Bonus Episode! If you haven’t already listened to the first part, I would suggest checking that out as it helps to frame our discussion in part two. In this episode, we spend a lot of time discussing why Christians who share the same fundamental beliefs can disagree so strongly on various issues and why that can actually be a good thing! Let us know what you make of our analysis - none of us are trained psychologists so please let us know if we got anything wrong. At the end of the show, we get into freedom of speech and argue over whether the American Dream (and by extension the Canadian Dream) is a Christian idea or not. Hopefully you find this episode to be enjoyable, at least mildly informative!

You can check out his podcast and all of our research links down below.This podcast ended up going super long so we divided it into two parts (part two drops tomorrow) to make it easier to consume. In the first half we talk about racism, BLM, and how current cultural movements are impacted by ideologies like Marxism, Neo-Marxism and Critical Race Theory.This is a bit of an experimental episode where you get to hear a little more from us as hosts. In this episode, we keep it pretty broad but the hope is to do a deep dive into more specific cultural issues every few months with Mike based on the feedback you all provide.

This episode is a special one, featuring interviews with two different pastors who've worked in vastly different contexts. Rev Hendrik Versteeg served as missionary in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea for many years. Rev. Bruce Parnell has served as a pastor in a mission plant church in Stillwater, Oklahoma for many years as well. We talked with them about their different mission experiences in the jungles of PNG and the Bible Belt of America and in particular asked them about their music traditions in their respective congregations.
