We're back!

This week Think Deeper returns with a look at the question of whether Christian teens should go to prom, whether parents should allow it, and the place of rites of passage in young people's growth.

5:25 - our answers and making the "steel man" case for prom
11:45 - is this a Romans 14 issue, a matter of opinion?
17:30 - parents' responsibility to their children
22:47 - statistics that shed light on the prom experience
30:13 - is modesty conditional?
36:30 - answering arguments
40:45 - what about formal banquets and prom alternatives?
53:55 - what other rites of passage might be useful for young people?
1:07:00 - THINK FAST! Tariffs and living with less

With Will Harrub, Jack Wilkie, and Joe Wilkie

Think Fast returns!

Each Friday we'll be reacting to some major headline or talking point of that week, beginning with this discussion of President Trump's comments on some of the expected effects of tariffs.

Keep an eye out for our return episode Monday - The Prom Question and Rites of Passage

In the churches of Christ, congregations are autonomous... to a point. Deciding when a line has been crossed and others have become beyond fellowship is a delicate but critical matter.

Topics include:

- The tendencies of progressivism and hyperconservatism
- Being open to one another without becoming compromised
- Being exclusive without being exclusionary
- Whether there's a difference between salvation issues and fellowship issues
- Are churches supposed to "police" one another?
