We start with a little football talk... reactions to Indiana winning the national championship, possibly the greatest coaching turnarounds in history, and gripes about officiating. Tim hates a worship song. Finally, we kickoff a new series we're calling Christianese where we'll be discussing Christian concepts like evangelism, discipleship, etc. We start with evangelism. What is it, how is it practiced? (35:00)

Beer of the Week:

We talk a little college football. Golden Globe trivia. Tim's in a personal funk. Then we dive deep into why Francis Chan left a megachurch to pursue home church, the importance of genuine community and spiritual gifts, and how small groups can — or can’t — replace true Christian fellowship. How do we love one another well?

We spend the first 38 minutes talking college football. At minute 39 we do some English Premier League trivia. Finally we delve into the main topic of the evening (01:05), a candid conversation about moving to home church models. What does Francis Chan's home church ministry, We Are Church, say about starting home church? Smaller churches or home church might be better than the current Church Inc model but what are the pitfalls to ...

We draft our top 10 songs that have days of the week in the title. Israel is spending millions on a campaign aimed at churches to boost support. American "religiosity" is at an all time low. Is that good or bad? Maybe the answer to that question can help reform the Church in America and lead to a church DOGE.

Our top ten top songs named after a woman. Bible sales are up after the assasination of Charlie Kirk. Are we seeing a revival? If we are, is it a healthy revival? Churches are built for extroverts. How can they better welcome introverts and how can introverts work to find community.

Apologies, folks. This is an episode that got lost in the ol’ Go To Hell hopper. Recorded about a month ago, it was briefly forgotten by the shows producer (ahem… Tim), but it an important one. We start on our usual light note, with a conversation about the best movies of this century and the current state of movie making. 

(00:01:16) Using the show’s seemingly topic du jour, pacificism, what would happen if Christians just acted a...

We discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What caused it and where do we go from here? Is this a watershed moment for our country? Folks, the only way out of this is to take Jesus seriously and love our enemies.

As public support for the state of Israel plummets arround the world, including in the U.S, we share our views about what is going on in Gaza and around Israel. And as it relates to Israel and our own lives, what happens when we give ourselves over to wrath? What does Jesus say about wrath and how to break the cycle of wrath? (Matthew 5:23-25)

Wrath looks like…..

• Punishment instead of resolution
• Replaying wrongs over and over

While many American Christians spend a lot of time talking about the defence of Israel, there is silence about the killing and displacement of Christians by the U.S.-backed Syrian goverment. Why? Then we discuss a strange story involving missions work in South and North Korea. Finally, we share our thoughts on the passing of pastor John Macarthur. While we disagree with much of his Christian theology, the man was a giant who faithf...
