Podcasts about Thinking Out Loud

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the recent DC embassy shooting through a Christian theological lens. Why do people scapegoat others? What drives individuals to violent action in the name of causes they don't directly represent? Drawing on René Girard's scapegoat theory, biblical concepts of atonement, and the moral confusion of modern culture, they analyze how this tragedy reveals the deep brokenness in human nature and our desperate attempts at meaning-making. With thoughtful insight and pastoral clarity, Nathan and Cameron reflect on individualism, ideological identity, and the limits of symbolic action.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan & Cameron dive into a nuanced theological discussion on Ross Douthat's latest book Believe, exploring the provocative idea that religion—even in its broadest form—can serve as a legitimate and vital stepping stone toward Christianity. They examine Douthat's arguments through the lens of current cultural disinterest in organized faith, C.S. Lewis's concept of “mere Christianity,” and spiritual seekers like Simone Weil and David Foster Wallace. Is structured religion still the best place to begin a sincere search for truth in the modern age? Join them as they wrestle with these questions, challenge each other, and consider whether religion is a crutch, a catalyst, or a compass in a post-Christian world.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, we dive deep into a disturbing and tragic event—the bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs by a self-proclaimed "pro-mortalist." While grieving the loss of life, we also explore the unsettling philosophical underpinnings of this act, including anti-natalism, pro-mortalism, and the idolization of consent as the highest moral authority. For Christians seeking thoughtful, theologically grounded discussions on current events, this conversation unpacks how modern moral frameworks—rooted in radical autonomy, subjective consent, and distorted views of love and freedom—can lead to logical yet dangerous conclusions. We contrast these ideologies with a biblical worldview, challenging the cultural narrative that human beings are the ultimate moral arbiters. Join us as we confront the implications of being born "without consent" and what it reveals about our cultural moment.DONATE LINK: ⁠https://toltogether.com/donate ⁠BOOK A SPEAKER: ⁠https://toltogether.com/book-a-speaker⁠JOIN TOL CONNECT: ⁠https://toltogether.com/tol-connect ⁠TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

With a focus on ethical reasoning, moral calculus, and Christian theology, Nathan and Cameron explore the spiritual and practical tensions involved in foreign aid, workplace complicity, and the moral responsibilities of believers living in a broken system.

JBS Journalist Micah Halpern opines on the greatness of the Jewish calendar, as well as the meaning of Jewish memory—this and more on this episode of "Thinking Out Loud" on JBS.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Cameron and Nathan dive deep into the theological roots of Western love, exposing how today's culture has redefined love using borrowed Christian language—without the God who gives it meaning. Drawing from philosophers like Simon May and theologians such as N.T. Wright, we challenge the four foundational assumptions about love in today's world: that it is unconditional, disinterested, all-affirming, and enduring. These ideas, often taken for granted, echo divine attributes that humans simply can't sustain. As we attempt to live them out without God, we end up playing God ourselves—a move that leads not to freedom, but confusion and relational breakdown.Whether it's the phrase “love is love” or the cultural obsession with affirmation, this discussion unpacks how our post-Christian society has built a fragile theology of love on sand—and what Scripture says we should build instead. This is a must-listen for any Christian thinker, pastor, or layperson wrestling with the cultural narratives of identity, romance, and meaning.

With references to current debates, including a dismantling of Lawrence Krauss's secular claims, this episode provides Christians with a robust understanding of how to engage secular critiques with grace and intellectual rigor.

For many of us, 2015 feels like just a few years ago. But the reality is, we are now a full DECADE away from the midpoint of the 2010s.

Thankfully, 2015 was loaded with incredible music, including career-defining singles for more than one pop-music superstar, some strong debuts by new and fresh voices, and some totally unexpected bangers. So join us as we go back to a slightly simpler time as the Great Pop Culture Debate determines the Best Song of 2015. Songs discussed include: "Hello" by Adele; "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran; "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor; "Bang Bang" by Jessie J., Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj; "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith; "Ex's & Oh's" by Elle King; "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson; "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon; "Chandelier" by SIA; "Delilah" by Florence + The Machine; "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift; "I'm Not the Only One" by Sam Smith; "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift; "Bitch Better Have My Money" by Rihanna; "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding; "I Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, we unpack a pivotal moment from The Joe Rogan Experience featuring Douglas Murray and Dave Smith, where the limits of authority, experience, and expertise collide. When Murray questions Smith's qualifications to comment on the Israel conflict — famously asking, “Have you ever been there?” — it sparked a broader discussion on who gets to speak into complex global and moral issues.We explore how podcast platforms, once fringe, have become major cultural authorities — often more influential than legacy media or academic experts. What does this mean for the Church? For pastors? For how Christians weigh in on theology, politics, and culture?Together, we reflect on the role of wisdom, humility, and discernment in a post-trust, post-expert age — and why this matters more than ever for thoughtful believers.
