S1 Ep 264The Morality of Mask Wearing?

Mask moralizing and scolding still happens on both sides of the aisle. But rather than taking sides, what if we saw masks as a window into how humans think about morality? What can the masks wars teach us about how different groups define "moral" and "immoral," and how might that be a gateway into a less judgmental perspective toward both sides? In this episode, we look at the "moral tastebuds" God's given every human to cultivate. We explore what it looks like, even during the mask battles, to trust God as the ultimate food critic, who can define what really tastes and good and evil.

S1 Ep 252Was Purity Culture a Bad Idea? 6 Myths You Should Kiss Goodbye

Were purity rings, banquets, and pledges the best or worst thing to happen to Christianity? Did purity culture teach good lessons about chastity, or offer a sexual prosperity gospel? Did it give a spacious vision of faith or narrow the scope of God's concerns to sexual morality? Did it train us to celebrate sex or create shame around sex? In this episode, Keith and Patrick explain purity culture to those who did not grow up around it and explore how it caused damage in Christian culture. They warn against swinging the pendulum in the opposite direction by abandoning a Biblical sexual ethic and offer a new model: sexual wholeness and integrity.

S1 Ep 240Why Friends Don't Let Friends Read Glennon Doyle

NYT Bestseller https://untamedbook.com/ (Untamed) restyles the philosophy of an old, dead white dead in the chic new fashions of social justice and feminism. Like Jean Jaques Rousseau, Glennon Doyle preaches and lives out the gospel of self-expression as the way to happiness. She teaches her readers how to be Cheetahs: wild and set free from the cages of society. But does her advice lead to a life well lived? Did this life philosophy work out for Rousseau? Does it align with Jesus' path to the good life? Listen to https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Pastors Keith Simon) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick Miller) as they assess Doyle's advice and give their own.

S1 Ep 236Why an Atheist Homicide Detective Changed His Mind About the Resurrection: An interview with Detective J. Warner. Wallace

How can a rational, intelligent person believe that Jesus rose from the dead? J. Warner Wallace, a Dateline featured cold-case homicide detective, asked this question as an atheist in his 30s. He hoped to disprove the resurrection by using the skills he developed solving unsolved murders. Instead, he proved the opposite. In this episode, he shares his journey and the evidence he found that led him to become a follower of Jesus. If you're interested in following J. Warner Wallace, check out his Twitter: https://twitter.com/jwarnerwallace (@jwarnerwallace).

S1 Ep 233Should We Legalize Polygamy? Why It’s Already Too Late.

Cities and states are beginning to decriminalize polygamy and recognize it as a union. Last week, Andrew Solomon wrote a https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/03/22/how-polyamorists-and-polygamists-are-challenging-family-norms (long piece in The New Yorker) normalizing polyamory by telling real-life stories. What does the Bible say about polygamy? How should Christians respond? We explore the cultural genealogy that brought us to this point and explain why there is no hope to turn back. Christians should focus less on preserving existing laws, and more on living faithfully in order to show a better story with their lives.
