4/20/2020

We talked about many things, including... COVID-19; Target; Hazmat Suits; Could viruses be evil? Is COVID-19 the fault of humanity because of something we’ve done? Is it the fault of evil spiritual forces? God's original quarantine; Idols are falling; Uncertainty; Church in our homes; etc. Thanks for listening!

EP038 – When deceived by cults, whose fault is it?

8/28/2019
The New Testament is filled with warnings of false teachers who would preach a different gospel, which Paul says is no gospel at all (Galatians 1:7). False gospels have been around since the first century and are still alive and thriving today. Our question for this episode pertains to the person who has been deceived by one of these cults. Whose fault is it? Would God really judge a devout person who unknowingly follows a false gospel? This is a question that should strike at home because...

EP037 – LGBTQ Part 3: Gender and Identity

6/6/2019
In this final episode of our LGBTQ series, we continue the conversation with a question that was posed at the end of part 2: "What if genetics proves that genes make us gay or straight? Why would God do that?" This leads us into a discussion on gender and the different terms. We'll also take a look at eunuchs in the Bible, Joseph's coat of many colors, and an Old Testament law that forbids men and women from cross-dressing. We'll wrap up our series discussion with what the Bible says about...

EP034 Denominations

4/1/2019
We were asked by our friend, Brett Foote, to explain how we came to the denominations we currently serve. This leads to larger questions like: Why are there so many churches? What do we think of denominations in general? Can we really be one body of Christ if we're split into numerous denominations? We'll talk about questions like these and we'll also reveal our next topic at the end of the episode. Thanks for listening!

EP033 Desert Island Movies and Red Thread

3/27/2019
This episode is just for fun! We split it into two parts: Part 1 answers the question of what movies would we bring to a desert island if we could only pick 5. There are more rules to consider, of course, which Chris lays out for us. This proved to be a tough exercise as some of us took it more seriously than others ;-) Part 2 comes from an off-mic conversation where we were talking about Scott's old band, Red Thread, from his early college days. Eric expressed interest in hearing some their...

EP000 – Introducing The LS Collective Podcast

12/26/2018
Welcome to our podcast! We are a group of youth pastors in the Lancaster PA area that began meeting in 2015 and eventually decided to put together a podcast that answers the questions our students are asking about faith in Jesus. We are from four different churches and three different denominations. We are driven by the vision that we can reach more people for Jesus together than we can separately. We call this collective approach, Big "C" Church. Thanks for checking us out and let us know...

EP030 – [Side A] Does God Accept Everyone?

12/20/2018
This episode reflects on a collective event called "Merge" that was held on Wednesday, December 12th. The Fellowship of Christian Students club at L-S High School hosted The LS Collective Podcast for this event to address their theme: Tribe. We decided to answer the question: Does God accept everyone no matter what? This question arose when we surveyed close to 100 students with broad questions about our faith. We quickly realized that a prominent idea throughout their answers was that God...

EP029 – The Story of the Bible

12/14/2018
Before I began this article, I opened my Bible to the last page of Scripture and found that it ends on page 1,196. That's a big book! And yet while the Bible is made up of many books (66), it comprises one unified story: This is a story about a relationship that was broken between God and humanity, then relentlessly and recklessly pursued to be restored by God. So, could this story be told in under 15 minutes? The LS Collective Podcast attempted this task with their most recent podcast...

EP028 – What Do People Actually Believe?

12/7/2018
This is the question that a recent 2018 Ligonier Ministries video addressed. Ligonier interviewed random people on the street and asked questions about God, the Bible, the afterlife and whether or not humans are naturally sinful. This video is just a small snapshot of their massive 2018 survey that they call, The State of Theology. We decided to transcribe this video and really dive into the thoughts that were being presented. We recommend that you watch this two minute video before you...

EP027 – What about Slavery in the Bible?

9/18/2018

EP026 – What’s Our Mission?

8/25/2018
Eric and Chris talk about their recent mission trips from this summer, and the guys talk about what a Christians' mission is and why we are to go and help others.

EP025 – Why Do Good and Bad Things Happen?

7/27/2018
We pulled two questions out of our "Rando Box" for this one: I have so much and others have so little... why am I deserving of these blessings? What did "Bob" do to deserve this?

EP023 – Overcoming Laziness

5/31/2018
Hey let's be real, laziness is something all of us deal with. So what does God think about laziness? Is it really a big deal? And if so, how do I overcome it? Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook! Thanks for listening

EP022[Live] – Dealing with Doubts

EP021 – Dead Man Walking (The Resurrection of Jesus)

3/27/2018
Easter is not about chocolate bunnies and a big fluffy rabbit (although we do like chocolate bunnies). It's about Jesus who was dead and then rose to life a few days later. Is it reasonable to believe that Jesus actually rose from the dead? Thanks for listening!
