What Do Demonic Powers Have To Do with Politics? with Tim Mackie
Demonic powers and politics? Is this going to be a weird campfire conversation where they share their demon stories? No, quite the opposite! You may have heard this one before! That’s because it’s an older episode, but it’s one of our favorites! And given the political chatter over the last few months, we decided to resurface it and revisit a conversation on the reality of demonic and dark spiritual forces at work in the political realm. Hear as Patrick sits down with Tim Mackie, cofounder of BibleProject, and the two have a sophisticated and candid discussion about the “powers” that Paul refers to in Ephesians. Tim shares how these spiritual powers contribute to disunity and fragmentation within the church, urging Christians to be aware of these schemes and seek unity above all else. You’ll also hear Tim share how the BibleProject navigates hot-button, cultural topics, and whether or not he believes the church should weigh in on such conversations.

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!
