Christian film has gotten a bad rap. Too often do we overlook the quality of faith-based films. I’m just kidding. This isn’t that kind of show.

This week we are joined by Brian Skutle, a film critic …

Kirt E. Lewis is ex-military, an ex-pastor, an advocate and an author recovering evangelicalism. Aren't we all? Join us as we talk about his journey in and out of evangelical Christianity. We’ll disc…

Another mass shooting, another day in America. This is becoming all too common. The shooting in Parkland, Florida is just a symptom of a larger problem plaguing America. This week we’ll talk about th…

This week, we sit down with author, Chris Kratzer. Chris was a pastor for 22 years before he had enough of the hypocrisy and bigotry in the church. He completely walked away from ministry and almost …

It’s no surprise that Evangelical Christians get labeled as anti-science and anti-thought. They’ve practically given themselves this label as a badge of honor. They reject science as an affront to th…

Good riddance 2017. With every new year, we are often filled with hope for new possibilities. So in this time of reflection, we must also be reminded of what brought us to this point of absolute Chri…

We made it. I'll be honest, I had my doubts. Looks like we finally made it out of 2017. It's been a rough ride, but we did it! Trump didn't get the best of us and now we're awake, aware and ready for…

Oh, Christmas. What have you become? We're told that there's a war over you. Others claim we can't be merry with you either. The sad fact of the matter is, you've been lost for quite some time. It wa…

Let's talk about Christianity's misguided obsession with the nation-state of Israel. Much of this romantic, idealized crush comes from a very limited reading of scripture. To many conservatives, the …
