  • 259. A Conversation With A Christian Nationalist
    2025/05/17

    Professional Christian Carey Robinson of @TheMovementOC church returns to the show to talk about the complexities of leadership, how he stays accountable in his leadership position as a pastor, and why he calls himself a Christian nationalist. His definition of CN may not be what you think. Which is why Zack argues he should drop the label.

    It's a zesty conversation with some healthy argumentation all around.

    Also, why are we, of the royal variety, rewarding people for using racial slurs on kids? It's a wild time to be alive, and we're here to talk about it.

    "Nuance is the new N word."

    -Some Guy

  • 256. We've Been Reading Romans Wrong! (Keith Giles & Matthew J Distefano
    2025/03/25
    "For the longest time, Paul's Epistle to the Romans has been used to justify misogyny, homophobia, eternal conscious torment, and blind allegiance to the State. However, the truth is that the Apostle Paul never intended his letter to the Church in Rome to teach any of those things. That's why co-authors Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano have collaborated to correct these misunderstandings and illuminate the true meaning of Paul's theological masterpiece for today's Christian reader." In this engaging conversation, hosts Zack and Andy welcome Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano from Quoir Publishing to discuss their new book on Romans, "Reading Romans Right: Correcting Common Misreadings, Restoring Paul's Original Intent". They explore themes of faith, disagreement, and the importance of listener feedback in the podcasting world. The discussion delves into the misreadings of Romans, the nature of God's wrath, and the implications of eternal torment not being mentioned by Paul, challenging traditional interpretations and emphasizing the need for a more nuanced understanding of scripture. The conversation highlights the role of scholarship in making complex theological concepts accessible to a broader audience, ultimately aiming to foster a more compassionate and understanding approach to faith. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various theological perspectives, particularly focusing on the teachings of Paul and the interpretation of his letters. They explore the concept of God's wrath, the importance of understanding the historical context of scripture, and the role of women in the early church. The discussion also touches on the impact of video games on narrative engagement and how these experiences can parallel the exploration of faith and belief. Ultimately, the speakers aim to present a more nuanced understanding of Paul's message, emphasizing that it is rooted in good news rather than fear-based theology.Check out more from Keith and Matthew:https://quoir.com/Heretic Happy Hour PodcastWatch Keith debate "dr" James White HEREMatthew J.

    We also discuss the role of USAID in American foreign policy, the cognitive dissonance experienced by Christians regarding political issues, and the complexity of political perspectives.

The conversation emphasizes that true forgiveness is often a selfish act (in a good way!) that ultimately benefits the forgiver, and highlights the importance of modeling behavior in teaching forgiveness to children.

    We share personal experiences of loss and the journey towards forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of time and support from loved ones. The discussion transitions into the nature of divine forgiveness and the misconceptions surrounding it, particularly in relation to Christian beliefs. We, well, mostly Zack challenge some traditional views of Christianity, advocating for a more authentic expression of faith that prioritizes love and personal growth over mere doctrinal adherence.
