Send us a textMy guest is Matt Mikalatos — author, screenwriter, producer, and all-around brilliant storyteller. He has written award-winning books, including the beautifully illustrated graphic novel God With Us, the devotional Praying with Saint Nicholas, and an imaginative Young Adult fantasy series, The Sunlit Lands. He's also co-authored Loving Disagreement with Kathy Khang — a timely, powerful book about how to stay in relationship, even when the culture says it's time to cancel.As an undergraduate student in creative writing at the University of California, Riverside, Matt studied under the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, Percival Everett, author of the wildly popular novel entitled JAMES.  Matt's story doesn't stop there. He spent 20 years with a global campus ministry (Campus Crusade for Christ now known as CRU), lived in China, became fluent in Mandarin, and worked deeply in cross-cultural ministry. He's seen the evolution — or devolution — of Evangelicalism from the inside, and he doesn't shy away from talking about it. From Trumpism and anti-democratic rhetoric to hot-button issues like immigration, LGBTQ rights, and even “chainsaw massacre” politics, we go there — and Matt helps us understand the power of story over shouting matches.There's exciting news - he's just been notified that a script he's written has been greenlit. The production of a full-length feature film begins soon, with filming in Thailand.Join me as Matt and I talk about faith, storytelling, culture, and how, in this divided world, we can still communicate and respect each other — even when we disagree. It's a lively, eye-opening, and deeply human exchange you won't want to miss. Mike Mikalatos WebSiteSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Why should Christians care about church history? How did the church go from one faith to so many denominations? What can we learn from past revivals in church history? In this episode, Isaac Dagneau sits down with teaching pastor and professor David Wood to explore why church history still matters. From the early church to the Reformation and modern revivals, this conversation reveals how God has always been at work through broken people. You'll hear wild stories—like the 18th-century pastor who preached for three years without being a Christian—and learn how past revivals, mistakes, and movements can encourage and warn us today. Whether you're confused by denominational chaos or wondering how tradition fits with truth, this episode brings clarity, humility, and hope. Same God. Same Gospel. Still working.

Introducing Credible Witness, a new podcast produced by Mark Labberton and the Rethinking Church Initiative. In this episode of Conversing, Mark features the full premiere episode of Credible Witness, and is joined by host Nikki Toyama-Szeto and historian Jemar Tisby. Exploring how Christian witness to the gospel of Christ has become compromised—and what might restore its credibility. Reflecting on five years of candid, challenging conversation among diverse Christian leaders during the wake of George Floyd's murder and rising Christian nationalism, the three discuss the soul-searching, disillusionment, and hope that emerged. Together, they examine the cultural fractures, theological tensions, and moral failures that have pushed many to extremes, elevating strident voices as an increased number of people to leave the church. They articulate the mission and vision of Credible Witness, testify to a persistent hope in Jesus and the power of honest community, face painful truths, and imagine a church that more truly reflects the love, justice, and mercy of God. Key Moments “We absolutely get that… but we're still on board with Jesus. And Jesus has always been with us and hasn't left us.” “This isn't about leaving Jesus. This is about following Jesus.” “We've got a better story to tell.” “It was the church that was putting the church at risk.” “The church has a reputation in the United States… and not a good one by and large.” About the Guests Nikki Toyama-Szeto is the host of Credible Witness, and is executive director of Christians for Social Action, equipping the church to pursue justice and follow Jesus in the tension of our times. Jemar Tisby is the author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism, and founder of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. He is the host of Pass the Mic. Show Notes “This isn't about leaving Jesus. This is about following Jesus.” —Jemar Tisby Nikki introduces Credible Witness as a space for honest stories of faith amid moral complexity and social tension Mark recalls the origins of the conversation in summer 2020: COVID-19, George Floyd, church division, and racial injustice Jemar Tisby clarifies the mission for imagining a more credible Christian witness Nikki reflects on trust-building in a space that welcomed “tricky truths” and honesty without pretense The group's five-year journey begins as a short experiment but grows into a lasting community of deep discernment “We weren't trying to replicate any harm.” —Jemar Tisby The group names white Christian nationalism and silence on injustice as threats to the church's credibility Ephesians 2 and the power of “coming together of the unlikes” as a witness to the resurrection “It was the church that was putting the gospel at risk.” —Mark Labberton Nikki explains how church neutrality began to speak volumes: “Choosing silence was actually a loud voice.” Discussion on the failure of integrity: “Too many things in isolation” eroded credibility Jemar highlights story as central to public theology: “We've got a better story to tell.” The group wrestles with algorithmic distortion and toxic digital narratives shaping Christian identity “Not just message, but embodiment”: The church's credibility depends on lived ethics, not just theological claims Mark emphasizes self-examination: “Are we credible?” Dissonance and disagreement as gifts: “What kept people in the room was the gift of dissonance.” —Nikki Toyama-Szeto Jemar recalls moments of tension over how to prioritize justice issues while remaining unified in Christ The group's diversity as a deliberate strategy: different traditions, backgrounds, and responsibilities within the church Nikki names divine timing: the conversation is more urgent now than when it began “We're not all supposed to be the same... That's how everything gets covered.” —Jemar Tisby Mark frames the church's failure as internal implosion—not external threat “Why is the church seemingly so unchanged?” —Mark Labberton Nikki describes how marginalized voices carry wisdom for the way forward Jemar articulates the podcast's goal: a mirror and a window for listeners to see both themselves and the larger church Nikki closes with an invitation to slow down and listen generously: “Pull up a chair...” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Why does evangelicalism feel like home to so many, yet leave others feeling out of place? This episode dives into the complexities of navigating faith, politics, and the church's role in society. The hosts explore questions of belonging, the tension between community and cultural critique, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world shaped by injustice and division. From personal anecdotes about introversion to deep reflections on justice, cruciformity, and the teachings of Jesus, this conversation challenges traditional views of Christianity while encouraging critical thinking and humility. How do we reconcile love for neighbors with standing against systems that harm the marginalized? What limits, if any, exist in extending biblical hospitality? These are just a few of the thought-provoking questions brought to the table. Whether you're wrestling with faith, grappling with cultural issues, or seeking to understand the intersection of theology and justice, this discussion offers insight and encouragement for the journey.

Michelle Van Loon was "getting around," doing drugs and acting 'a fool as a Jewish teenager but when a friend introduced and evangelized her to Jesus (may or may not have been over some weed), her life has never been the same.  Michelle, author of numerous books, recently wrote "Downsizing: Letting Go of Evangelicalism's Nonessentials," and joins Joey to discuss the contents. Could "downsizing" be the only hope for unity in the church?  Among the many topics discussed, the two talk whether "spiritual authority" has to go, what makes a pastor a pastor, Joey's former zeal for Mark Driscoll, how the church has made an idol of the nuclear family, and the silly notion that deconstruction is usually a bad thing.  Synopsis of book: Michelle Van Loon came to faith in Jesus as a Jewish teenager and embraced the first Christian community she found: evangelicals. Over the next fifty years, she enthusiastically worshiped and worked in a wide variety of evangelical groups. Looking back on those experiences today, Van Loon treasures the things that truly deepened her faith. At the same time, she laments the accumulation of baggage—religious ideas and practices that were unhelpful at best, and harmful at worst. Unlike many who have given up on evangelicalism altogether, Van Loon is committed to saving what's worthwhile in the evangelical faith tradition, and she invites others to join her. Simultaneously critical and hopeful, Downsizing encourages readers to reflect on their own experience with evangelicalism, evaluate the movement's legacy, and participate in shaping its future.Michelle Van Loon / Instagram / Website E-mail Joey here.

Send us a textGUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, Pastor, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)John MacArthur, one of the most influential pastors over the past 50+ years, entered heaven on July 14, 2025 after more than two years of health challenges, including heart, lung, and kidney problems.John, as he preferred to be called, pastored Grace Community Church in Los Angeles for 56 years, authored over 150 books, was heard around the world on Grace To You, the radio ministry that broadcasts his sermons, and led The Master's Seminary and University, along with a host of other ministries.Last week in part 1, Travis Allen of Grace Church in Greeley, CO joined us to discuss why MacArthur became the pastor-teacher he was, one that the theologically conservative side of Evangelicalism always looked to to see where he stood on a given issue.Travis graduated from The Master's Seminary, taught at Grace Community Church, was the managing director of Grace To You, and knew MacArthur personally over many years. In fact, Travis is marked by at least two qualities of John MacArthur—a “servant of the Word and the flock”. In other words, both have the highest confidence in Scripture and diligently attend to the believers they shepherd in their churches.Today in part 2, we'll discuss what made MacArthur forthright in the pulpit and yet gracious in person and why he was considered the last line of defense for the false teaching and compromising that always plagues the church.In the final segment, we'll hear an audio clip of when John MacArthur last appeared on this program and a few of the things for which he will long be remembered.--------------------------Last Interview on TCW with John MacArthur - “You Foolish [Evangelical Church], Who Has Bewitched You?” – Nov 2018Additional Links: John's Personal Testimony click on “Listen to John's Personal Testimony”Reflecting on Pastor John Phil Johnson and Mike Riccardi, July 20, 202550 Years at GracePastor John Describes Heaven

In this episode, we are joined by Reformanda Initiative Fellow Mark Gilbert (Certainty 4 Eternity) about the new book he co-edited with Leonardo, The Nicene Creed: The Nature of Christian Unity and the Meaning of Gospel Words. We discuss his chapter contribution, which unpacks the clause of the Nicene Creed “We believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church,” noting how Roman Catholics and Evangelicals share these words, but do not share the theological interpretation of them.Support the show

What has happened to Evangelical Theology? Travis answers the question, what has happened to Evangelical Theology. Evangelicalism has changed drastically in the past 50 years. Christians and churches, have slowly walked away from God as our Holy authority. They have walked away from the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient word of God.  Travis explains how this has happened.  Do you… The post The Need for a Modern Reformation, Part 2 | Toward an Evangelical Theology appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

Q: I go to a Christian college and many students, including some of my friends, are converting to Catholicism. Here are my questions: What are your insights on how to engage with them when they are talking about it? I am concerned they are leaning more towards works rather than trusting in the finished work of Jesus. What are things that I can do as a friend veer towards judgement? I am trying to show love to them but also pointing out their bad theology. They are also very focused on Mary being the Saint. How would you respond to that? Are there books you recommend to help me understand the differences between Catholics and Evangelicals? Summary: In this episode, Dr. E and Hanna explore how to engage Catholics with grace by discussing the theological differences between Catholicism and Evangelicalism, especially regarding faith, works, and the role of tradition. They stress the importance of understanding both faiths' core beliefs and encourage believers to approach conversations with kindness and patience. The conversation also underscores the significance of prayer and the desire for greater depth in spiritual practices. Takeaways: Salvation by grace alone, through faith, is non-negotiable in evangelical theology. Catholicism often elevates tradition and ritual above Scripture. Worship of Mary and the saints lacks biblical support. Protestantism emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's finished work on the cross. Many Catholics don't fully understand their own church's doctrine. Engage friends with love, prayer, and Scripture—not argument.

What does punk rock have to do with the heart of the Gospel? In this episode, the Voxology team, joined by the Dr. Timothy Gombis, dives deep into the unexpected intersections of radical community, inclusivity, and the teachings of Jesus. From punk rock's raw authenticity to the profound ministry of disability-focused communities that Mike recently experienced at the "Hope Heals" camp. The conversation explores how cruciformity—the self-giving love of Jesus—emerges in unlikely places. Along the way, they unpack the role of the church in society, faith and politics, and navigating cultural challenges with humility and curiosity. By reflecting on the ways marginalized voices reveal the Gospel's power, the team challenges traditional notions of faith and invites listeners to reimagine how justice, community, and theology come alive in everyday life. Whether discussing mutual ministry, the prophetic edge of punk culture, or stories of transformative love, this episode is a powerful reminder that the Gospel is both disruptive and healing. We encourage and would love for you to join this conversation. Share your thoughts on how faith intersects with culture and community on Facebook and Instagram, or email us your questions as we pursue deeper understanding together. Let's journey forward in learning, dialogue, and the radical love of Jesus.

The Christian in the Cult: And How I Discovered Humanity in Christ by Jim Valekis Amazon.com Smilingicon.com Jim Valekis' The Christian in the Cult: And How I Discovered Humanity in Christ uses the author's life story to take us deep inside the culture of the Greek Orthodox Church, Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, and modern Evangelicalism. After journeying through three versions of "the only true church," Valekis deftly invites his readers to join him in his ongoing discovery of humanity in Christ and what it can mean for the church and the world. Endorsement: Millions of religious believers will clearly recognize the spiritual journey narrated by Jim Valekis in this powerful story. A son of the Greek Orthodox Church finds himself in Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, which eventually takes him into more traditional Christianity and out again. Where he ends up at the end of this fascinating pilgrimage will be a big surprise. But Valekis astutely narrates his journey and brings readers along with him to a spiritual destination that includes the whole world. In a religious and political landscape that has become a culture war of all against all, Valekis's final message of oneness and wholeness in Christ is a welcome antidote.─Andrew Manis, Emeritus Professor of History Middle Georgia State University, Macon, Georgia In your hands is a book that speaks powerfully to both the complexities of living and growing in the Church, and to the way God moves in our individual lives as believers. Through the story of author Jim Valekis, we see a riveting faith testimony passed from one generation of family to another -- across cultures, continents, and denominations. We experience through Jim's journey how our Christian faith can ground us and cover us spiritually, despite a fallen world, broken relationships, and vocational volatility. Jim reminds us that while our conditions and surroundings rise and fall, our steadfast relationship with Christ is All. I commend this book to you. ─Chuck Proudfit, President At Work On Purpose About the Author: Jim Valekis was born in Alabama with a "bouzouki" on his knee. His Greco-American parents raised their family as part of a thriving Greek Orthodox community in Birmingham. As a teenager captivated by the radio teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, Valekis defied his roots and eventually followed a call to pastor in the Worldwide Church of God. When the former cult transitioned into Evangelicalism, Jim followed, continuing to pastor in Grace Communion International. Most recently Valekis co-founded the vision for the Tipp Center, a faith-based business and resource hub, where he is the chaplain. Jim holds a master's degree in Biblical Studies from Earlham School of Religion. He enjoys hanging out with his wife Becky, biking, painting, and sharing (especially over Greek comfort food) how his new theological understanding connects back in profound ways with the ancient Trinitarian fabric of his Orthodox upbringing, a relational Christ-centered fabric expansive enough to include every human being.
