Our Q&R podcast for the seeker and skeptic in all of us. It’s designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others.

This month, we’re taking on another tough question: Is the Bible anti-women?

Many people assume that Christianity has historically suppressed women, pointing to passages about submission, silence in the church, or even polygamy in the Old Testament. But is that actually what the Bible teaches? Or is there more to the story?

In this episode, we’ll explore how Jesus radically elevated the status of women, how the early church gave them leadership roles, and why a closer reading of Scripture reveals a deeply countercultural view of women’s dignity and worth.

Our Q&R podcast for the seeker and skeptic in all of us. It’s designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others.

This month, we’re diving into one of the biggest and most difficult questions people ask about the Bible. And one of the most common objections we hear is about the character of God—especially in the Old Testament.

Many people wonder: Why does He seem so different from the God of the New Testament? Why do we see stories of war, judgment, and even what seems like divine anger? Does that make God unjust or even evil?

In this episode, we’ll explore the historical and cultural context of these difficult passages, how justice and mercy actually work together in God’s character, and why understanding the full story of Scripture changes how we see these moments.

Our Q&R podcast for the seeker and skeptic in all of us. It’s designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others.

This month, we continue our two-part series on the afterlife by diving into one of the most difficult ideas in Christianity – Hell.

It’s a concept that makes people uncomfortable—and for good reason. If God is truly loving, why would He send people to a place of eternal suffering? Wouldn’t it be more just for Him to save everyone? And if He knew that some people would end up in hell, why create us in the first place?

These are not easy questions, but they’re important ones. If Christianity teaches that God is both perfectly just and infinitely merciful, how do those two ideas fit together? Does hell exist because of God’s judgment—or because of human choice?

Today, we’re digging into the fairness of hell, the different ways people have understood it throughout history, and what the Bible actually teaches about it. We’ll also wrestle with one of the biggest objections: what about people who never had the chance to hear about Jesus? This conversation isn’t just about doctrine—it’s about what kind of God we believe in.
