A "Spirited" Debate...Part 2

What do we do about all the violence in the Old Testament? Did God command genocide? Is the Old Testament God different from the loving and forgiving God on the New Testament we see in Jesus?  Paul Copan and Scott Lackey bring two different perspectives on how Christians should read and wrestle with the conquest narratives and violence in the Bible. Then a larger panel fields audience questions during our Q&A.

Cody, Ken, and Evan take a look at election fraud, AI solving all of our problems, Christians paying off medical debt, and Elon’s flying car. Learn more about Theology by the Pint at theologybythepint.org. And like and subscribe and all that good stuff, too. 

Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God? Are we on two paths that both point toward truth? What are the major theological differences between the two religions...and why does it matter?Former Muslim turned Christian, Shahriq Khan goes toe-to-toe with Ali Qazi on the shared doctrine (if any?) and distinctives between these two major worldviews.These two will share their opposing views and then a larger panel will field audience questions during our Q&A.

Sarah, James, Adam, and Evan take a look at a wide range of topics, including Meryl Streep being the voice of Jesus, er, Aslan in the new Narnia adaptation, the decline of both public schools and public executions, socialism as the coddling of a loser mentality, the death of the dinner party, and Tobey Maguire's really weird family dynamics. Enjoy! Like and subscribe while you're at it!

Sarah, Sarah's father Pr. Bob Garment, and Evan sit down to tackle some of the Bible's strangest stories. Why did Jesus call a woman "a dog"? Why did Elisha lay on top of a dead guy? Did Jesus really tell us never to judge? And much more! If you wanted to know more about some of the more perplexing stories in scripture, this is the episode for you.

Ken and Evan take a look at some provocative headlines. We'll go ahead and say children shouldn't listen to portions of this show. We talk, for example, about how married Christians seem to have better sex lives and the alleged indiscretions of one Candace Owens. We look at the death penalty gone wrong and debate the justice system generally. Then we look at the great news of a new steel factory in Iowa and argue about economics for 30 minutes. Like we always do. Thanks for listening! Go to theologybythepint.org to learn more.

Christian convert Shahriq Khan joins Sarah and Evan to talk about his conversion and his ministry to Muslims. If you want to know what some of the major differences between Christianity and Islam are and how to talk to Muslims about the truth claims of Christianity, this episode is for you!

It’s just Sarah and Evan today, but don’t worry, they have plenty to say! We look at how the lone holdout jury in Lindsey Clancy’s trial is under fire, a controversial Bo French X post that seemed abjectly racist, the horrific practice or surrogacy by billionaires, and a response to the Heretic Happy Hour response to Evan’s appearance on that podcast last week defending Trump. So much to talk about! How did we do it all in just over an hour!?Learn more: theologybythepint.org

The most usual WPR crew of Sarah, Ken, and Evan take a look at the case everyone is talking, whether we should be on board with data centers popping up everywhere (and AI), a host of related stories about Islam (including one where James Talarico says he learned a lot from Islam), and the path to ridding our nation of witches, 96 hours at a time.

TBTP recently held an event on the Holy Spirit. Who is He? What is His role in salvation and the life of the Christian? What about the Spiritual gifts? It was a great conversation, but some of the recording was lost. SO...we thought we'd have a podcast to look at some unanswered questions and make sure our audience at least got the gist of our event. Thanks to Mace and Israel for dropping in the studio for this redux. Enjoy!
