This week, BLC and MPT welcome special guest, Rob Bell, for an episode of That God Show you won't want to miss.

In this very special episode of That God Show, BLC and MPT sit down with Amber Cantorna to listen to her story. Amber had a happy, normal childhood as the daughter of a Focus on the Family executive, but found herself shunned and abandoned by her family when she realized that she was... gay. Amber recently began telling her story publicly, and sat down for this exclusive interview to tell a story that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. From the pain of losing family, the healing found in a welcoming church, to the blossoming of love, Amber's story will challenge and inspire you. It did for us.

Looking back, many of us guys grew up with a version of what it means to "be a man" that was impossible to live out. To make matters worse, these cultural ideas about manhood are often adopted by the American Church, leading many to view our cultural ideas about manhood as falsely being biblical concepts of manhood. This of course, leads to all sorts of issues-- both for men, and women.In this episode of That God Show, BLC and MPT sit down with author Nate Pyle to discuss his new book, Man Enough: How Jesus Redefines Manhood. They cover all sorts of ground in a short time, so you won't want to skip downloading this episode!

In this episode of That God Show as BLC and MPT rewind to visit 5 of the biggest stories of the summer. Catch their thoughts on topics such as: mass shootings, marriage equality, the Josh Duggar & Ashley Maddison saga, and of course, Donald Trump's race to the White House. 

Join us for EP28 of That God Show where BLC and MPT sit down with Reba Riley, author of the much anticipated book, Post Traumatic Church Syndrome. In this episode you'll be invited to join a candid discussion about something so many of us face but rarely discuss: self doubt.

Both political and Christian culture can often seem quite cynical, can't it? In this episode of That God Show, Benjamin and Matthew talk about the pessimistic narrative we're often sold by political and religious leaders and why it's critically important that we reject this-- instead choosing to embrace optimism. 

This week new Pew report data came out that showed Christianity in decline across the board in the United States, and everyone seems to be clamoring to spin it in some way. In this episode of That God Show, BLC and MPT sit down to talk about the decline in Christianity, and how instead of seeking to "win converts" we can simply return to our calling to be "people who fix things."

If you spend much time on social media or have seen much from Franklin Graham lately, you'd know that he's sorta gone rogue on Facebook. Some of his comments have sparked outrage among religious leaders, and others have left us scratching our heads and asking, "what the heck is up with Franklin Graham?"That's the question BLC and MPT wrestle with this week on That God Show. Recorded with BLC in Jordan, you can also catch up on how his trip to the Holy Land is going.

In this long overdue episode of That God Show, BLC sits down with friend and author Christian Piatt to wrestle with the question: "What does following Jesus look like?" Hear from Christian regarding his one year "My Jesus" project- including both insights he's discovering, and challenges he's facing, as he spends each month following a different aspect of the example of Jesus.

This is a very special episode of That God Show, as for the first time BLC and MPT record the show while sitting in the same room! Join us for a discussion of why we're in Armenia with World Vision, things we're experiencing in the field, and discover the genocide of 1.5 million people that doesn't get discussed often.
