It has been a busy couple of weeks as far as pastor scandals are concerned.

Each case is extremely different from the others. But the fact that they have happened in such rapid succession raises common questions about how churches and church leaders should respond to them.
What level of transparency should be demanded?
Do pastors who have morally failed to the point of needing to be removed from the pulpit ever get to return? If so, when and under what circumstances?
How do we pursue justice and righteousness while not inflicting unnecessary pain on those who have undeniably hurt others?

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss these questions and more.

The term "gay Christian" has long been disputed, even among those who agree with the traditional Christian sexual ethic.

Christian author Rosaria Butterfield continued that argument in a recent article, titled "I Don’t Have an LBGTQ Neighbor—And Neither Do You." In the article, Butterfield argued that there is no such thing as an LGBTQ+ person, because sexual orientation is a social construct. Furthermore, Butterfield argued, this an issue of identity, and identifying by sexual orientation enslaves a person to sexual sin.

Any number of Christian leaders agree with Butterfield completely. However, many do not.

On this episode, we discuss the differing views of people on LGBTQ+ issues. Specifically, we take a closer look at the range of views among those who hold to a traditional sexual ethic on issues of terminology, celibacy, and how to best approach our LBGTQ+ neighbors.

Is There Such a Thing as a Gay Christian?

This week, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed a law requiring public school teachers to feature a poster of the 10 Commandments in their classrooms. While many conservatives are hailing the law as a victory, it is likely to be struck down in the courts.

Landry indicated that he's looking forward to the legal battle, saying, "I can't wait to get sued."

Opponents of the law are citing the establishment clause of the constitution, arguing that requiring public school teachers to post an explicitly religious text on their classroom walls is a religious liberty violation.

On this episode, we discuss the wisdom of such a law. Is it necessary? Is it prudent?

In our discussion, we explore what we believe to be the best and worst arguments for and against this law, as well as the dangers of pulling Scripture out of context to make it a cultural icon.

Do the 10 Commandments Belong on Public School Classroom Walls?

For Christians, the hope of heaven is one of our most important beliefs. But it’s also one of the most mysterious and even one of the most misunderstood. 

And that makes sense. No one has ever been there and come back to tell us about it—although some have claimed to.

When we think about heaven, we tend to think about a giant gated community in the sky. Saint Peter stands at the gates, looking through a giant book with your name in it, so that you can enter into the city with golden streets and white buildings backlit by the sun. 

To be sure, some of this imagery is pulled directly from Scripture, even though it’s an overly literalized rendering of prophetic and apocalyptic texts. But a lot of it is also culturally conditioned, based on what artwork we’ve seen or movies we’ve watched.

So on this episode, we discuss three things that Christians tend to get wrong about heaven and cast a bigger vision for what it will be like experience the new heavens and new earth in eternity.
