Summary In this episode, Tim responds to a video from an Instagram channel called Leading Second that asserts the belief that if you don't believe the Bible is true, you have no place in leadership. Tim unpacks the loaded statement and explores the concept of a biblical worldview. He challenges the idea of the Bible being infallible and examines the flawed logic behind it. Tim also discusses the different portrayals of God in the Bible and the need for interpretation and contextual understanding. Takeaways The belief that if you don't believe the Bible is true, you have no place in leadership is a loaded statement that lacks nuance and ignores different interpretations of the Bible. A biblical worldview is often defined by specific verses that align with conservative political views, rather than a comprehensive understanding of the entire Bible. The idea of the Bible being infallible is based on circular reasoning and ignores the historical context and authorship of the texts. The Bible does not present a univocal portrayal of God, and different passages can contradict each other. Interpretation and contextual understanding are necessary. Examining the evidence and contradictions in the Bible can lead to a more nuanced and intellectually honest understanding of its teachings.

Summary In this conversation, Tim, Janice, and Ashlee discuss their origin story and how they connected on social media. They delve into the pitfalls of social media deconstruction content creation, grifters, what healthy accountability looks like, and why caution when choosing who to platform is critical. They also discuss why decolonizing is essential to the work of deconstruction and needs to be prioritized in progressive christian communities. Takeaways Learning from past mistakes is crucial for personal growth and building healthy relationships. The pitfalls of social media include the pressure to constantly create content and the temptation to monetize and exploit others' pain. Accountability is essential in the online space, and it is important to question the motives and actions of those in positions of influence. Platforming those who have previously caused harm should be approached with nuance, considering the potential for redemption and growth, while also holding individuals accountable for ongoing patterns of harm. Recognize the privilege and power dynamics in content creation, particularly for white men, and actively work to amplify marginalized voices. Decolonization is a process that takes time, and it is important to be open to learning from mistakes and engaging with diverse perspectives.

Meet the rebels: Noemi organises a renuion for ex Hillsongers. Janice Lagata, Tiffany Perez and Noemi meet up in New York - where a culture of exploitation and abuse went unchecked. Noemi, Janice and Tiffany explore the bond that has formed among people who've left the church and they jump into the issue of race. They say it's women of colour who are some of the loudest critical voices because “Hillsong never thought we would speak out, because they never saw us”. The trio used podcasts and social media to ask awkward questions and call out those in power. They explore what justice looks like and wonder whether the best form of revenge could simply be finding happiness outside Hillsong?
