You Can’t Say That in Church! with Brenna Blain
Abuse. Molestation. Same-sex attraction. Mental health crises. What if our hardest questions, secret struggles, and biggest doubts aren’t meant to stay secrets but can lead us closer to God’s heart? Brenna Blain is a contemporary theologian and the author of “Can I Say That?” She joins Patrick on the pod today to share her own journey of wrestling with God at the intersection of faith and suffering. Providing an open look into her past, she invites listeners to be vulnerable themselves, citing how God has consistently met her in the tension of her most complex questions and toughest circumstances.

Trading FOMO for JOMO: New Book, Joyful Outsiders, Coming Soon!
For many Christians, fitting into the current cultural moment just feels…hard! From 40 million people having left the church in the last 25 years to less than half of U.S. adults identifying as Protestants or church attendees, one thing is clear: Christians are outsiders. But is that such a bad thing? Should we fear missing out, or consider it a joy? On today’s episode, Keith and Patrick make a special announcement: They wrote another book! Coming in January 2025, Joyful Outsiders: 6 Ways to Follow Jesus in a Disorienting Culture will explore six unique ways that Christians can joyfully accept their calling to change culture without being changed by culture. Today, they explain the story behind writing this book and why they believe it will be a practical resource for “everyday Christians needing everyday answers to face everyday problems.” They break down the three ways Christians typically respond to a tense culture: combat, conform, or cloister. Then they present a more godly approach: Six unique types of outsiders that lend themselves to a person’s God-given strengths and abilities. Are you a trainer, protestor, builder, ambassador, artist, or advisor? We hope this sneak peek gives you a glimpse of the joy that’s possible when Christians embrace their role as outsiders.

Trump Wins: What the 2024 Election Results Mean for Christians
In what might be the biggest comeback in American politics, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States this week, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a decisive victory. On today’s episode, we’re doing our best to break it down from a Christian perspective. First, Keith and Patrick share who they voted for, and whether or not the election results surprised them. They analyze some of the voter statistics, dissecting the demographic shifts in Trump’s favor and the realignment that seems to be happening in the Republican party. They compare the responses from right, left, and independent media sources, and discuss how fearmongering and hysteria seemed to backfire this election cycle. Plus, how should Christians on both sides proceed? What should the church’s rightful role in politics be? Whether you’re excited, disappointed, or just glad it’s all over, we hope this episode encourages you not to hitch your allegiance to a political party, but to God and his Word.
