Not Your Pastors Podcast

Ever buy something and regret it? Ever walk aimlessly down the aisles of stores, picking up items, admiring them, and then placing them back on the self? Ever search online for a new church wondering if it will fulfill all your needs and wants? We have! In this episode we discuss consumerism from a Christian perspective and share our failures and… more failures. We fail a lot at this, but hopefully together we can find some comfort, and ultimately purchase less.

Death: it's the only guarantee in life, but it wasn't supposed to be that way. Mankind wasn't designed to die, mankind was designed to live forever. Death is such a part of life that it's hard to picture life without death. In fact, death has such a hold on us, that your view of it, determines how you live your life. Some work hard to leave something for their offspring. Some enjoy every last moment while they can. Some give up because they find no point to life.  Enter in Jesus, a man who died, and three days later rose from the grave. Showing mankind for all of history that there is victory over death. Death doesn't have the final say, their is something after it, life continues. His story is so profound that His legend has transcended generation after generation for over 2,000 years.

This whole episode is probably wrong, but it raises some good questions in light of an ever polarizing America. Are conservatives being persecuted? Can you lose your job based on your opinions? What's okay to say, and not okay? Jason and Alex are joined by Brandon and Andrew of the Probably Wrong Podcast to discuss why they haven't released a podcast in over three months even though their podcast was a rising success.

Dear Christian, are you sitting down? We hate to break it to you, but if your bible is written in english, its not perfect. It has errors. Dave Duncan (former pastor, and southern Baptist seminary student with a major in the canonization of scripture) joins Alex and Jason to show us that the message of the bible is God-breathed, but our translations, though worthy and useful, are not perfect. Dave presents some great questions. Is the word of God soley contained in the pages and between leather? Are you comfortable with translators deciding gray areas? We discuss all of this and more without error and in great clarity in this episode.
