Are there contradictions in Scripture?

4/1/2022
Have you ever been asked about certain passages in Scripture that seem to contradict themselves? For one who is trying to justify a life without Christ, this is often a key element of their argument. If the Bible, which claims to be God's inerrant word, makes a statement which cannot be true due to it contradicting another statement, then the claim of inerrancy falls apart and God's trustworthiness is broken. Over the next few episodes we will take a look at this subject and will dive into...

When Deconstruction is a Good Thing

11/23/2021
Two episodes ago we started a discussion on deconstruction, noting that as followers of Christ it is easy to doubt our faith but that my relationship with Christ should not be dependent on human feelings or emotion. In this episode we continue the discussion, talking about our response when we are hurt by the Church and about things in our faith that do in fact need to be deconstructed. We talk about the difference between deconstruction and rejection of faith, which although used...

Doubt your doubts

8/25/2021
In this episode we start tackling the topic of deconstruction.

Is the Vaccine the Mark of the Beast?

5/21/2021
With the advent of a widely available vaccine that is intended to bring us closer to the end of our dealings with a global health crisis come the ones who are in staunch opposition to this vaccine. Some have even gone so far to say it is spoken of in Revelation as the mark of the beast. Could this be true? The guys tackle this question and discuss what's at the foundation of the mark John writes about in Scripture.

Our thoughts on Holy Week and the Lil' Nas X Controversy

4/16/2021
In this episode the guys talk about the controversy surrounding Lil' Nax X and his recent fashion statement. How does the Gospel influence our response to this controversy? Should we be outraged or compassionate? Should we condemn or be heartbroken? Having just come through Holy Week and the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection we are reminded that the Gospel sees all men in the same light; broken and condemned without the saving power of Jesus. Oh, and we rip on the armpit of...

Fluent Grace Preaches - After Darkness, Light

1/29/2021
In our second episode of Fluent Grace Preaches, Tyler shares a sermon from Matthew 27:45-66, the account of Jesus's death and burial. More than any other time in history, this stands alone as the single darkest moment; when the Son of God was killed by the very ones He created. This however is not the end of the story; because light is never brighter than after great darkness.

This episode has it all: new intros, major life updates, a discussion of Christmas music, and our thoughts on cancel culture. As we get close to the end of 2020, one of the things that will define this year is mankind's willingness to cancel any and everything that we as individuals disagree with. Is this a gospel response to various elements of our culture? Or does this paint a picture totally contrary to the good news of the Gospel? Listen and find out how we answer that question. Our...

Elephants, Donkeys, and The Gospel

In this episode which was recorded after the first Presidential debate we talk about Gospel-centered ways we should think about politics, especially in a tense time such as this.

Three Goobers in Quarentine

4/7/2020
We're a lot better in person, but since we're quarantined like everyone else we gave the virtual episode a shot. In this episode we wonder what the Pope would do after retirement, we come up with an appropriate punishment for toilet paper hoarders, and Tim's phone dies so Tyler and Collin handle the outro. But at least it only takes twenty minutes.

Tokyo Olympics, 80 MILLION podcast listens, and sleeping with a trophey

2/26/2020
**DISCLAIMER** This podcast was recorded the week after the Super Bowl. Since Tim has to do all the editing and post production and doesn't really have the time or necessary skills it has taken this long to get published. In this episode, Tim and Collin talk about whatever random stuff comes to mind. Which means we create some new Olympic Sports, we liken an Alabama town to the state of Mississippi, and we impersonate the Super Bowl winning coach. We also plug the next really deep topic...
