Eugene is the founder and former Senior Pastor of Quest Church in Seattle Washington, as well as the founder of 'One Day’s Wages,' a grassroots movement to alleviate extreme global poverty.

In today’s episode we talk with sexologist Dr. Celeste Holbrook and dive into the aftermath of purity culture. We discuss the good things that purity culture left behind as well as what needs some repairing. Dr. Holbrook believes that our inner feelings of shame and fear that was often taught to us within purity culture can continually impact our sex lives in negative ways unless we heal those wounds. Dr. Holbrook’s life work is dedicated to helping people heal and find a healthy sex life that is based on pleasure, connection and belonging. This episode contains explicit language, and may trigger some deep wounds for some. Please check out Dr. Holbrook’s site for resources to help heal some of this pain with a trusted professional.

Happy Monday! Bonnie and Tim had the pleasure of sitting down with Skye Jethani from the Holy Post Podcast, a frequent guest and part of the VOX Community. They have a fascinating conversation on "A Theology of Vocation." What does the Bible say about your work? What does it mean to be "called" to something? Does every job need to be under the umbrella of church and ministry? How do we know what we're called to? What about dreams and desires? All of this is covered and more! Thanks for listening!

On this episode we sit down with Jenny Smith, Lead Pastor at Marysville United Methodist Church in Marysville, Washington to discuss her experience as a woman leader in the Church.

Happy New Year to YOU! We thought we'd start of 2020 with a soft, non-controversial topic in which we have very apathetic opinions of: What it means to be a "Biblical" Woman.

A new mini episode is out! So many different questions, so little time...but we try! We talk Trump, the band Skillet, the deconstruction of the Church, and a suggestion that maybe some people want to have a few tiers on Patreon to be named after Taylor Swift. Also, Mike is still wearing all black.

A new mini episode is up in which we read an email from al listener who suggests that Erre is headed into a "liberal theology" in the next few years. He sights a few things, one being the liberal cohosts on the show. Find out what Erre says and how this type of comment is heard differently by the woman at the table. Also: Bonnie's hair and earrings and boots are ON POINT in this video.

So many of you are launching micro communities with us around the world (yes, the world!!) and we couldn’t be more excited! We’ve been getting lots of emails regarding different cities where you all are starting them, as well as a request for more information about what a micro community is. Tim takes the lead (and the crowd goes willlldddd!!!…) on what his experience of a micro community has been, how it’s different from church, how it is formatted and their genius childcare plan. If you think you’d like to start a micro community in your area, or want more information on the one in your city, please email hello@voxpodcast.com Learn more about the VOX Podcast: www.voxpodcast.com Subscribe on iTunes - apple.co/1Lla1Nj Support the VOX Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/voxpodcast Follow us on Instagram: @voxpodcast Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/voxpodcast Follow Mike on Twitter: www.twitter.com/mikeerre Music in this episode by Timothy John Stafford www.timothyjohnstafford.com Instagram & Twitter:

A couple of weeks ago we interviewed Alan Frow (Episode 219), a pastor from Orange County, CA who is also a Complementarian. It was great to interview someone with an opposing viewpoint, but also who upheld kindness and a respectful demeanor towards women, unlike recent examples of some well known Complementarians (Episode 218). In this episode, we dive into a few emails we got in response to Frow including a question regarding planting a church with someone who holds an opposing view: Is it possible to do church ministry together while fully honoring both parties? Take a listen to see what we say, as well as our answers to a few other questions on the Women in Leadership subject.

We are back with a few mini episodes this week as we dive into our mailbag. First up is a great question in which a listener wants to know why God didn’t leave us detailed instructions on how to live, what to believe how to follow him, etc. Mike, Bonnie and Tim answer this question by exploring the role of the Bible and the Holy Spirit, how community fits into the mix of things, and the necessary pursuit of God’s wonder. Mike also recommends a book about this topic by Dallas Willard called “Knowing Christ Today: Why We Can Trust Spiritual Knowledge”.

The VOX team headed out to Southern California last month to participate in an event with HeatedConvo about Women in Ministry. Mike and Bonnie both come from a church background which upheld a Complementarian viewpoint in regards to Women in leadership in the church. Through study, experience, and prayer both Mike and Bonnie now are Egalitarian. In this live discussion, you will hear each of their personal stories of how they changed their minds, along with great questions from audience members. You don’t want to miss this!

We are so excited about this week's episode with John Mark Comer in which we discuss his new book about eliminating hurry in our lives. He talks spiritual disciplines, enneagram, and more! Then, yours truly does an outro in which Bonnie discusses Quantum Mechanics and we toss around a different name for "deconstruction". Thank you for listening, we can't wait to hear your thoughts!

A few weeks ago we discussed the John Macarthur/Beth Moore fiasco and urged that not all Complementarians behave in a way that is disrespectful and mean spirited. To this end, we interviewed Alan Frow who is a Complemetarian and is kind, respectful and a wonderful pastor to boot! We also add out thoughts in the outro! Hope you enjoy it!
