In this very special episode, Dan Koch of "You Have Permission" joins Joshua and TJ to discuss how we define Church unity and what that implies with our understanding of the words "Church", "unity", "God", "salvation", and "good". Is the Church more than a building? Is it more than just those who call themselves "Christian"? If unity does not just mean we all agree with each other, what is unity? How is unity different from uniformity? Who is God? How do we know God is real? What is Salvation and what does Salvation have to do with being a part of the Church? If the Church is the people of God or people who identify as Christians, how do we know if we are doing "good" in the world? What is "good"? Is "good" the hardest word to define in the English language? How does Joshua and TJ's beliefs compare to Dan Koch's? How do we come together in mission with such different views about God, the Church, and even salvation at times? oin in our conversations on our Discord Server and Facebook group!.Check out all shows on the AMP Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.Check out our online store:thewholechurchpodcast.com .Please consider sponsoring our show on Patreon, here, for access to our extra content like our "Too Long; Didn't Listen" series, our "Pet Peeves" series, and our "Whole Church News" episodes!.Make a one-time donation, here..Subscribe to our show, here..Rate us & leave a review, here.Mentioned in this episode:Easily subscribe to our show wherever you listen!https://the-whole-church-podcast.captivate.fm/listenCheck out the other AMP Network shows!https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm . https://open.spotify.com/show/725pdvTzkle0fDWK2sdxnD?si=e317918366e04338 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/anazao-podcasts/id6447432145One Time Donations

Welcome to a very special bonus episode where the "Let Nothing Move You" podcast and "The Whole Church Podcast" collaborate in an interview with Dr Thomas J Oord to discuss his newest book, "The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence"! Hosts Joshua Noel and Christian Ashley both present their different views on the power of God and the inerrancy of Scripture and discuss with Dr Oord, his view that we should completely do away with both of these words. Can God create a rock that He can't lift? Can God tell a lie? Does the Bible say that God has all power? Does the Bible say that God created alone? Can God really be loving if He has the power to stop sexual assaults from happening and chooses not to? If God is not all powerful, is He a wimp? Can God be God if He is restrained in His power and exists in our own timeline? And how can we have unity in the Church with such fundamental disagreements? We discuss it all in this one!
