Podcasts about churchy

Josh comes back for his second consecutive WPR and he joins Ken, Evan, and Cody. Pretty much the entire spectrum is covered on this episode. We look at whether the Ten Commandments should be put in school classrooms, a lawsuit against an insurance company for losing money on the sick, whether the abortion pill is safe, and why no one on this panel can give Trump credit even for good things.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the rising popularity of “pickleball.” Invented in 1965, this sport combines tennis, table tennis and badminton and is attracting people of all ages and backgrounds. Capitalizing on its popularity are plenty of businesses, athletic associations and even churches. This discussion delves into the uniqueness of pickleball but then goes further to discuss the broader relationship between churches and sports. Dr. White riffs on sports ministries and how churches can and must navigate the increasingly demanding world of youth sports. He also dives into the individual Christian's relationship to sports and the priority we give them in our lives. Episode Links Today's conversation was sparked by an article by Religion News titled, “Churches hope to tap the power of pickleball”, but as mentioned in the podcast, the church's relationship with sports dates back much further. You can read more about the history of sports ministry, provided by GameDay Sports Ministries HERE, or by The Christian Athlete HERE. Alexis mentioned a handful of past podcast discussions she and Dr. White had on a few aspects of modern culture that provide some helpful cultural context, such as the current pandemic of loneliness (CCP76: On the Never Marrieds), the desire for religious experiences (CCP145: On Whether Churches Should be Churchy), and why men are looking for “manly” churches (CCP135: On Women Leaving the Church). Pertinent to today's conversation is an exploration of the role of athletics in the lives of families. For more on that topic, here are some links you might be interested in checking out: Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra, “Youth Sports, Healthy Families, and the Future of the Church,” The Gospel Coalition. Melissa Steffan, “The Main Reason for Declining Church Attendance: Children's Sports?,” Christianity Today. More broadly, Dr. White discussed the way in which sports have become somewhat of a modern religion, with many attributing religious-like experiences to sports highlights or god-like statuses to athletes. To read more about that, here are some suggested resources: Kurt Streeter, “In Troubled Times, the Sports World Offers a Necessary Salve,” The New York Times. David Briggs, “The Final Four, travel teams and empty pews: Research on sports and religion,” The Association of Religion Data Archives. Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly, All Things Shining. David Brooks, “The Arena Culture,” The New York Times. While sports may seem to provide echoes of something truly transcendent, the real source can be found in the God of the Christian faith. Dr. White shares about C.S. Lewis' journey to God as captured in his autobiography, Surprised by Joy.

Join us for a very special episode of "Cup of Justice" as investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell chat with the incredibly talented actor, Valyn Hall, best known for her unforgettable role as Aunt Tiffany in HBO's The Righteous Gemstones.  In this insightful and hilarious conversation, we dive deep into Valyn's experiences both on and off the screen.  Learn how the show accurately, albeit exaggerated, portrays Southern culture and family loyalty, making the South itself a character. Valyn shares her pride in her Atlanta hometown and its unique "weirdness".   Plus we'll get into Valyn's journey in acting, her favorite scenes to film, including chaotic moments at Jason's Steakhouse and heartfelt scenes with other female cast members, plus insights into working with the "cool" and "intense" Walton Goggins (Uncle Baby Billy). We're also discussing the film industry in the Southeast, including why filming in South Carolina versus Georgia has certain disadvantages, and her perspective on the term "Y'allywood". From character origins and filming challenges to Southern identity and fan interactions, this episode offers a candid look into the world of The Righteous Gemstones, from the perspective of the incomparable Valyn Hall. ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References Watch “The Righteous Gemstones” on Max

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss Barna Group teaming up with the Aspen Group design firm to explore possible connections between spiritual formation and the physical spaces that we inhabit. Questions such as: What does it mean to be formed as a follower of Jesus? And can the spaces that we meet in help motivate this growth? Also, how might our physical experiences of a church relate to our worship and understanding of God? In simple terms, they were trying to determine whether it's best for churches to look “churchy.” Episode Links Daniel Silliman wrote an article in Christianity Today which sparked today's conversation. It's titled “Americans Think Church Should Look Churchy,” and Silliman said that the survey found that most people “don't like trendy, modern buildings.” Dr. White would argue that while people do indeed want to attend church in a space that is sacred, spiritual and safe, that doesn't necessarily mean they want it to look overly churchy like some of the medieval churches in Europe. He wrote a blog recently about this topic titled “Churches Looking Churchy” which you can read HERE. There's another recent blog that was written by Dr. White that was referenced in this episode. It's called “This Is Church,” where Dr. White addresses how many businesses and parachurch organizations can try to step in and supplant themselves as the church when they most definitely are not. And if the discussion of the cathedral found in Chartres, France was of interest to you, we'd encourage you to read the Church & Culture blog titled, “Chartres.” For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

This week, investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — broke news that a second Jane Doe case had been filed against Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller, accusing him of sexually abusing a 14-year-old student at Cathedral Hall Academy (formerly known as Grand Strand Academy), a school owned JP's father Wayne Miller, who is named as a co-defendant in the case.  In 1999, when JP Miller was 20 years old he allegedly molested the child after inviting her to play piano with him alone in the church sanctuary. The girl told a teacher about what JP allegedly did and instead of the school offering the child help, she was forced to write “I will not lie about JP Miller” 5,000 times.  Mandy and Liz break down the latest allegations against the Millers and share text messages between JP, his ex-wife and Mica from 2022 or before that addresses the child sexual abuse allegations against JP.  Also on the show, part one of the history of the Millers' alleged scheme to use their school as a staging ground for abuse. Plus an update on the Justice for Mica protesters and JP's frivolous lawsuits against them. Let's dive in...

From the Alex Murdaugh trial's alleged jury tampering and subsequent appeals; investigations into the deaths of Stephen Smith and Mica Miller, examining potential foul play; and the ongoing legal battles surrounding Bowen Turner and Michael Colucci, both facing multiple accusations of serious crimes — we covered a lot of cases and controversies in 2024. Also this year, we added tragic death of Christa Bauer Gilley to our focus, and continued our focus on advocacy for victims' rights reform, specifically concerning coercive control. On this special episode of True Sunlight, the team of journalists looks back on the madness in the South Carolina Justice System, plus another shocking update in the Myrtle Beach church world related to JP Miller and Solid Rock.  With our new billboards around the state and our coverage seeking answers, we hope to shake loose information in Stephen smiths case and Sandy hopes to hear back from SLED early in 2025. We are also actively seeking partners to create a new event in July that will celebrate Stephen Smith's life and draw attention to the 10 years that have passed without justice since his death.

The Advent of the birth of Christ begins a new church (liturgical) year! Throughout the church year, we experience a rhythm and structure that guide our learning, praise, and thanksgiving through Christ's birth, death, and resurrection and the fulfillment of the promise of the Holy Spirit. This podcast walks through the church year from Advent to Christmas, Epiphany to Lent and Easter to Pentecost and what all of that means so that we can gain even greater relationship with our Lord through worship awareness.

It's that time of the year, again. Mariah Carey has been set loose upon humanity once more, and we eat too much food and drink too much beer.

November 24, 2024 [Speaker: Pastor John Sitcler] – People who are a part of a church often use words that are not commonly used in everyday life. It can be hard to understand what people are saying when they use these words.  Even people in the church can misunderstand “Churchy” words.  During this two-week miniseries, we will examine four “Churchy” words.  Yes, we want to understand the true definitions of these words.  But more importantly, we want to experience the impact of what these words represent in our everyday lives. Today we learn about “Repentance” and “Life”. Bible app sermon notes: http://bible.com/events/49350933

Summary Tim and Liz Coolis Jenkins discuss her book, Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women's Humanity from Evangelicalism, and her journey unpacking the toxic aspects of conservative evangelicalism. She explores the concept of patriarchy and how it manifests in imbalanced power dynamics and restricts women's agency. Takeaways Patriarchy is any structure or system that involves imbalanced power between genders, particularly men and women. Patriarchy restricts women's agency and discourages them from embracing their full humanity. The concept of patriarchy is often disguised as complementarianism in conservative evangelical contexts. The biblical mandates used to justify patriarchal norms are often based on American cultural norms rather than biblical principles. Mainline churches, despite their traditional appearance, often have more progressive and inclusive theology compared to white evangelical churches.  Patriarchy is deeply ingrained in both the church and broader society, but it is not impossible to dismantle. Valuing characteristics traditionally associated with femininity, such as empathy and collaboration, is essential for building more inclusive and equitable spaces. Honest conversations, diverse perspectives, and a reevaluation of traditional interpretations of scripture are necessary for challenging and changing patriarchal systems. The intersection of patriarchy and the church requires a critical examination of leadership structures and a commitment to empowering women and other marginalized groups.

Banks shares his own struggles as a musician and how he wants to help others overcome similar challenges. The conversation explores the qualities of a great teacher and the importance of understanding the 'why' behind musical concepts. The conversation covers topics such as the approach to teaching gospel music, the differences between playing organ and piano, the unique sound and approach of gospel music, the value of focusing on quality over quantity in music education, and the release of KV Banks' new single 'Step Away'.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Experiences09:59 Introducing the Gospel Organ Course14:56 Building Confidence in Church Settings18:56 Overcoming Challenges and Struggles19:55 The Qualities of a Great Teacher27:22 Understanding the 'Why' Behind Musical Concepts35:04 The Importance of Context and Vocabulary38:23 Raising the Musical Base40:59 The Limitations of Licks and Shortcuts41:53 Teaching Gospel Music42:58 Playing Organ vs. Piano47:41 Quality over Quantity58:16 Step Away: KV Banks' New Single01:03:05 The Power of the Online Community at Sean Wilson Piano

This week I was joined by my new friend Liz Cooledge Jenkins to discuss her new book "Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women's Humanity from Evangelicalism". Even in the warmest and most welcoming evangelical churches, patriarchy looms as an ever-present force... Patriarchy isn't always in your face and Liz helps us take an unflinching look at the ways misogyny's subtler forms impact every aspect of women's experience in church. Liz shares lots of stories from her own church experiences where Patriarchy reared its ugly head and put Liz in some less than stellar situations. I really enjoyed this conversation with Liz and I enjoyed reading her book overall. Enjoy!

This latest episode of Snarky Faith features a compelling conversation with Liz Cooledge Jenkins, whose new book, "Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women's Humanity from Evangelicalism," offers a critical yet hopeful look at the entrenched patriarchal norms in evangelical Christianity. Jenkins takes us on a journey through her own experiences within the church, detailing the subtle forms of misogyny that often go unchecked and discussing the significant impact they have on women's roles and voices in faith communities. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and theological insights, she illuminates the challenges of navigating a faith tradition marred by gender inequality, while also outlining a vision for dismantling these oppressive structures. The discussion delves into key themes of the book, such as "Naming Misogyny's Faces" and "Dismantling Misogyny's Power," and explores Jenkins's proposals for reinterpreting scripture, expanding theology, and reimagining church leadership to embrace full gender equality. Jenkins's articulate and passionate discourse provides not just a critique but a beacon of hope for those seeking to reform evangelicalism from within, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, gender, and social justice.

Passage: Acts 16:6-40 Speaker: Andrew Latimer

Today Ryan and Mike bring you another segment of The Good, The Bad & the Churchy where they discuss some of the more popular end times conspiracy theories surrounding the upcoming eclipse. If you're a Christian maybe you've seen or even shared some of them. The guys get into why these theories are problematic for Christians to be spreading and why April 8th, like every other date where people tried to predict the end of the world, is absolutely nothing to worry about. Support the show

Episode Summary:Author Liz Cooledge Jenkins joins us on the show to discuss the harmful effects of patriarchy on men, women, families, LGBTQIA persons, culture, nations, and spiritual communities.With its ties to domination, violence, aggression, militarism, and white supremacy, patriarchy centers white, heterosexual men at the expense of everyone else. Patriarchal communities often tolerate or even condone violence against women, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and honor killings. Patriarchy comes to us in overt and subtle ways, but even nice, churchy patriarchy is toxic AF.How has patriarchy damaged your identity and self-worth? How has patriarchy impacted the assault on women's reproductive rights and what might it look like for you to resist patriarchy in a post-Roe world? How do we use literary criticism to re-interpret those clobber passages in the Bible? Why have we seen an uptick in violent, hyper-masculine, patriarchal expressions since 2016? This episode answers all those questions and more as Liz and I dissect, dismantle, and destroy the theological, social, and sexual manifestations of patriarchal culture.Liz wrote Nice Churchy Patriarchy in the hope of helping evangelical and formerly evangelical women make sense of their experiences in church, feel seen and validated in the frustrations they may have, and be inspired to chart a new way forward. "Oppressive mindsets, theologies, and systems are not okay. Change is needed. We are not asking for too much, too soon. We deserve better. And we have the power to find that better—to build it together," writes Jenkins. This practical conversation addresses the ways you and I can work to dismantle patriarchal structures, theologies, communities, and families to achieve a more just world.

Doug Pagitt talks with Liz Cooledge Jenkins.  They talk all things women and church—drawing on Liz's new book "Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women's Humanity from Evangelicalism."  The book spent some time as the Amazon #1 bestseller in Women's Spirituality.  They discuss the connections we could draw between the book and the current political climate, from how Christian love and care should include removing bans and restrictions on abortion, to refusing to vote for candidates who normalize basic disrespect toward women, to being willing to make waves in our churches (rather than settling for veneers of niceness) toward the common good. Liz argues in the book that even in the warmest and most welcoming evangelical churches, patriarchy looms as an ever-present force, suppressing women's possibilities and debilitating whole communities. Well-intentioned churchgoers and church leaders have bought into deeply-entrenched male-dominated mindsets, power structures, and theologies that are not working—not for women, and really not for anyone. Liz is a Stanford University graduate (BS in Symbolic Systems) and has an MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary.  She writes at the intersections of faith, feminism, and social justice. She blog at lizcooledgejenkins.com and (formerly) Patheos, is a regular contributor to Feminism & Religion, and has written for other outlets such as Sojourners and The Christian Century

Hey everyone! Wife is feeling pretty sick tonight, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to repost an episode from back in 2021 called, "A Very Churchy Christmas." This was us about a year into our podcasting adventure and oddly enough, maybe our only special Christmas episode we've done thus far. If all goes well and the medicine works, we'll be back tomorrow with our regularly scheduled episode and hopefully Wife will be feeling 100% better, but until then... ENJOY!Husband and Wife discuss church attendance demographics. We also talk about the meaning of the holiday and our personal holiday church experiences.Thank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseJoin Acast+ to enjoy our podcast adfree! https://plus.acast.com/s/sacrilegiousiscourse.
