EP32: Navigating Relationships During An Election Year

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!

EP27: Rejecting the Cynicism of Political Culture

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.

EP26: Becoming People Who Fix Things (Responding to the Decline of Christianity)

In an age of Christian division it can be important to remember one of the last things Jesus prayed for before his death: Christian unity. But what is it? Where do we even begin a journey towards greater unity?

EP25: Christian Unity - Where Do We Begin?

Recorded with BLC in Jordan, you can also catch up on how his trip to the Holy Land is going.
