Podcast

Two Podcasts. One Platform.

Questions and conversations that help the church think and live with a mature, uncompromising faith.

The flagship podcast hosts extended conversations with theologians, biblical scholars, and pastors on the questions raised as Christians seek to live faithfully within a world that encourages them not to. Asked and Answered addresses specific questions in concise episodes designed to combat the reactive catechesis so often available in Christian media today. Together, the two shows form a growing archive intended to inform and re-form God’s people.

Flagship Podcast

Thinking Christian

A long-form, conversational podcast with theologians, biblical scholars, and pastors, arranged as thematic series that allow listeners to dive deep into biblical, theological, and ministry-related topics. Theological discernment is a communal practice; the conversational format is the work, not the wrapper.

These are not hot takes. They are informed perspectives offered to inform God's people as they pursue a mature, uncompromising faith.

Starting points:

From Pain to Praise: Thinking about Lament — May Young→Healthy Calling: Breaking Free from Workaholism and Finding True Rest — Arianna Malloy→From Pulpit to Parsonage: Gender, Ordination, and the Pastor's Wife — Beth Allison Barr→Faith and Technology: Navigating the Digital Age with Wisdom — Derek Schuurman→

Short-Form Podcast (Coming Soon)

Thinking Christian: Asked and Answered
