#309 Jory Micah: Feminist and Egalitarian who Celebrates Gender Differences Aug 17, 2017

Show notes

Influential blogger and writer, Jory Micah was fired from her college teaching job for as a result of her controversial feminist views. She is angered by the church’s discrimination against female leadership and how that prevents many from being who God has made them to be. She also doesn’t believe in a marital submission that is unique to wives. Potentially even more interesting is her celebration of gender uniqueness. Men and women both have strengths and weaknesses that are typically common for their gender. This feminist may just piss off the feminists. Matt introduces an invention that could save the lives of many kids, and Toby brings a news story that supports Matt’s assessment of McDonalds.

#305 What if Jesus Was a Liar? Aug 08, 2017

Show notes

You’ve all heard “Liar, Lunatic, or Lord,” but why isn’t it plausible for Jesus to be a “liar” or “lunatic?” 2000 years after the apparent resurrection, couldn’t Christians be off or mislead in how we interpret history? All the same, we still believe, and feel strongly that Christians can learn a lot from atheists. At the same time, before atheists write off Christianity, it may be helpful for some to truly understand what we believe in the first place. Lastly, Toby and Matt discuss the huge perks of playing in a worship band.

#303 Insecure Egotistical Douche Bag Dudes think They’re Masculine (Jordan Harbinger Part II) Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

The most successful people have coaches or mentors and recognize the great need for guidance. Not so with Douche Bag Dudes. Jordan Harbinger (host of Art of Charm Podcast) talks about what Art of Charm boot camp can offer people, discusses the power of humility and the stagnancy caused by ego. How do we appreciate masculinity in a politically correct way and what’s wrong with our stereotyping of masculinity in the first place? Lastly, should overweight people pay for more than one seat in a plane, pyramid schemes, and the Damn News bring you some crazy information on DNA and sex. Oh yeah, and Matt thinks we are all made of menstruation.

#302 Artificial Intelligence is God Jul 27, 2017

Show notes

Maybe it’s God or if not, maybe his plan of redemption? Either way, Christians are going to be so pissed when they found out the truth. In other topics, McDonalds vs. Church, are people going to stop having kids, and those damn midwesterners. And in the Damn News, man falls in love with his sex doll. His wife was upset at first, but she’s fine now.
