Can I Say That?

Pornography

What is it like to be a woman struggling with porn in the evangelical church today?

Does God call people to be creative? Does art actually matter in life? Can being creative be a spiritual practice? Join us as we talk with John Mark McMillan about growing up, wrestling with what it means to be alive and all our questions about art and creativity. 

The Charismatic Church and Practices

 Charismatics are defined as Christians who share with Pentecostals an emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit but who remain a part of a mainline church. Even so, the charismatic church is still often looked at as being "odd" or "untamed" by many who belong to non-demon/evangelical churches in the west. In this episode we talk with Annalise Southwood about her experience growing up in the charismatic church and ask some of our biggest questions about prophecy, speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit. 

Sexual Beings

Do the conversations we have about sex during our upbringing play into how we view sex as adults? Is saying that men have a stronger sex drive than women a damaging stereotype? Can and should single people engage with their sexuality? Join us as we talk with Matt and Lauren Bowen about being sexual beings trying to pursue what Christ has for us.

Singleness

Being single within the christian community can often feel like a negative thing, but is it supposed to? Why does Paul the Apostle consider singleness a gift? How can we balance the tension between being content within singleness while longing for companionship? Join our conversation with Beka Hardt as she shares her insight on singleness and serving God in this current culture.

Women: Can they say that?

Can women Biblically teach men? Is the term pastor synonymous with the term elder? Why are women's roles in ministry even a topic that needs to be discussed? Join us as Matt Bowen unpacks the Biblical text surrounding gender and office. Egalitarians and Complementarianists welcome. 

Mental Illness: Is Anxiety a Sin?

When the Bible says "Do not be anxious" what does that actually mean? Is suicide selfish? Will God only heal those who have strong faith? Is Bethel crazy? Yeah, we are talking about ALL these questions. Join us as Ali Gadbaugh shares about her walk with mental illness.
