It is extremely common in Christian circles that when someone thinks differently and sees things differently, the person will be dismissed as being wounded. This is especially true if the person's thoughts challenge the status quo. Why do some Christians mark these people as wounded? And if they are indeed wounded, does that immediately mean their thoughts aren't worth considering? Jim, Michael, and Loren discuss this, which leads to a fascinating conversation about the future of the church in the West.

Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss the most difficult season followers of Jesus experience. That season of suffering when misery is your constant companion, and Father isn't doing the things you think he should be doing. That season when your beliefs are being unraveled, everything seems hopeless, and there is no deliverance in sight. This is the dark night of the soul.

How did the early church begin to think theologically? Do you know that parts of the epistles are hymns? What purpose did hymns serve in the Early Church? Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss the origins of theological thinking, how singing supported theology in the early church, and the pluses and minuses of modern worship music. Also, did Paul's theology ever change? Join us!
