Is Gen Z More Open to Following Jesus? with Brad East
Is the Gospel really worth living for? Is it worth dying for? Depending on when you were born, you may approach these questions differently. Today’s guest, Brad East, author of “Letters to a Future Saint” and an associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, spends the bulk of his time with Gen Z. Listen as he shares his observations with Patrick and explains why he believes Gen Z is more conscious than older generations of the cost of following Jesus. He discusses where he thinks the church has overcorrected in Reformed circles, shying away from taboo topics like sex. He also shares some beliefs and practices that he believes we’ve lost from the ancient church. Plus, what are the biggest defeatist beliefs for young people when they think about the church? And how can Gen Z expand their spiritual journey? Listen now!Have you read "Joyful Outsiders" yet? It's available now!

The Reason for the Church with Brad Edwards
The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. Jesus and John Wayne. Church of Cowards. Losing our Religion. Shepherds for Sale. In the last several years, there has been no shortage of negative commentaries on the Church. Why so much anti-vision? Are any Christians attempting to pave a positive path forward? Today, we’re talking with Brad Edwards, whose forthcoming book, “The Reason for the Church,” provides the positive vision that the Church needs. He and Patrick discuss why Christian culture has been stuck in an anti-vision mindset and why a negative perception around institutions as a whole is partly to blame. Brad details why the Church is so necessary and explains how many Christians have forgotten the Church’s role as a source of healing and community. But what about people who have experienced spiritual abuse at the hands of the Church? We hope this episode offers an honest-yet-hopeful vision for church as a necessary institution.

Who Killed American Christianity? with John Mark Comer
We've recently talked about the seismic shifts happening in today's culture. That's why this week, we decided to dig up an older episode on this very topic. A few years back, Patrick sat down with John Mark Comer to discuss the state of Christianity in the culture. John Mark, author and pastor, shares his story of how he started following Jesus. Then you'll hear John Mark and Patrick dive right into topics such as the meaning of evangelicalism, especially in current times, and the problem with celebrity culture and Christianity. They also give insights into the cultural shifts challenging faithfulness to Jesus and how we can move forward.
