A South African living in Texas, along with an Australian living on the Golden Coast, discuss the contemporary church and the way to move it forward.
Benjamin Radnidge and Clint Davis
We take a look into the Israel Folau story in Australia and discuss the impact of Christians expressing their faith and ways in which we can do it in a loving way.
As Polyamory gains public celebrity support, is it becoming a practice that is normal and in some circumstances encouraged. Has the Church simply bent a knee to such practice or can she survive as a counter world culture.
We chat through some of the language of Gospel and Kingdom. What is the Gospel really, and how does it fit into the Kingdom? Have we missed it all this time!
We start a discussion about the language used within Christian circles and the need for us to define some of those terms. Expression without explanation can cause confusion and contempt. We need to ground spiritual experiences with Biblical understanding. Let's start with the Gospel...
What is Narcissism, is it in the Church, is it causing problems or helping us build? We discuss narcissistic traits within the Church and whether they are helping or hindering the building and forwarding of the local Church.
Clint takes us through Ezekiel 47 and teaches about the temple of God and its reference to the contemporary church. Plot twist, the temple is not what you think it is.
Ben interviews Paul Tothill from Gateway Church International about the effects of a post modern, post Christian world on people who follow Christ and on the church. They look at practical ways of being a christian in a world where Christians are on the fringe.
Our worldview shapes the way we think and operate within the contemporary church. A part of this has lead to a culture of consumerism and a misunderstanding of prosperity in the gospel. We discuss how these three areas have created a monster and share some ideas around mending the imbalance.
Ben and Clint take a look into a documentary that was made about the American church, and they start the conversation as to how we can stop fighting between ourselves and start to move toward the same goal.
Ben and Clint discuss how they came into the church, some stories in those churches, and the necessity of the church itself.
Ben and Clint tackle allegations made about a church and bible school. We discuss whether or not Christians should be calling out other ministries and if so, what is a healthy way to go about doing it.
We host our first guest Ed Bond, as we discuss the usefulness or hindrance of church technology, Virtual Reality Church, and Online Church formats. No, we don't all agree.
Ben and Clint discuss church leaders being put on pedestals and the detriment that it can have to the church.
Should we raffle a Harley-Davidson to grow our listeners or our Church?
Clint and Ben discuss the ideas behind the podcast and the reason for the show, highlighting some of the issues in the contemporary western church, with a few comedic rants thrown in just for laughs ;)
Ben and Clint take to explaining the podcast and what they hope to achieve, then get a little into the state of the church and what they plan to do about it.
