Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.
In the full episode, we discuss:
0:00 Introduction
2:12 It seems like you and some of your critics define "heresy" differently- what do you think constitutes heresy vs. bad/wrong beliefs about God?
10:02 Is it wrong for someone to get married who doesn't want kids? Does this desire for only non procreative sex violate God's design for marriage and sexuality?
16:23 What are the main reasons you are not Catholic or Orthodox?
24:18 Do you hold to the western doctrine of original sin or the eastern idea that we’re born of the essence of God and therefore are born good? Why?
27:36 Is it Biblical to have different denominations? Should we be concerned with putting man-made prefixes before our faith?
32:04 Appreciated Exiles book. How do you answer the idea of the USA being founded on Biblical principles that are worth backing- equality, justice (even though poorly done)
34:23 Is there a biblical imperative for an institutional version of "church" or was it always meant to be a movement of people in more organic forms?
38:10 Thoughts on the pro/Palestinian protests and subsequent arrests on college campuses? Reports of antisemitism?
1:04:30 How old was Peter during Jesus' ministry? Heard both he was a teenager, age of type apprentice and that he was older, b/c he was married. And the other disciples?
1:06:16 Considering homeschooling. Can you share your experience homeschooling your kids?
1:10:58 Is the word for ”helper” in regards to Phoebe the same word used to describe others as “minister/pastor/teacher” or similar? (Heard Jennifer Bird suggest this)
1:13:45 If you're in full time ministry, does that cause a concentration of power that causes abuse?
1:14:47 Did Johnny B come up with baptism? Or was that part of Judaism before him?

Josh Garrels is one of my favorite musicians of all time and my absolute top Christian artist. His songs are incredibly powerful and meaningful, and his sound is hard to compare.

I talked about Josh's heart behind his music, his journey as a Christian, and we even worked through several of my favorite songs of his, including "All Creatures," "The Resistance," "Babylon and Zion," "At the Table," and his recently released "The Watchman."

Alisa Childers recently had Dr. Christopher Yuan on her YouTube channel to discuss various problems they see in what they call "Side B Christianity," and my name often came up in their critiques. They also offered several critiques of the Exiles in Babylon 2024 conference, which I hosted last month.
In this episode, I work through their conversation and respond to several things where I believe they have misrepresented what I actually believe. My goal in this episode is not to attack Alisa or Christopher, nor is it to stir up disunity; rather, I simply want to clarify what I believe about important matters related to sexuality and gender, especially in places where others are claiming I believe things that I actually don't.
Here's the original YouTube conversation between Alisa and Christopher: https://youtu.be/aRNC9b_SZto?si=-5-dCclHfD-ySeFR

Mia Hughes, a journalist for the think tank Environmental Progress, discusses the controversy surrounding pediatric medical transition and the collision of trans rights with the rights of women and the LGB community.

The conversation delves into the history of WPATH, its influence on healthcare for trans-identified people, and the lack of evidence supporting its treatment protocols.
Mia highlights the ethical dilemmas and potential harm caused by the medicalization of gender identity and the irreversible interventions performed on minors. The conversation delves into the harmful effects of gender-affirming medical treatments, particularly on adolescents.

Elizabeth Woodson, a Bible teacher and theologian, discusses her passion for Bible study, discipleship, and theological education in the local church. She shares her personal journey of searching for the relevance of the gospel in her own life and how it led her to pursue theological education. Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of creating pathways for discipleship and theological education within the church, so that believers can understand and apply the truths of Scripture in their everyday lives.
She also discusses the challenges of busyness and the need for churches to provide meaningful and accessible opportunities for learning and growth. In a post-COVID world, churches have had to explore new opportunities for theological education and discipleship. People are hungry for connection, support, and answers to their questions. There is an opportunity to disciple adults in the basics of the faith and help them grow deeper in their faith. The early church valued theological education and had a rigorous catechism process for new converts. The church today can learn from the past and prioritize discipleship.
Singleness in the church is often misunderstood and undervalued. The church needs to have a deeper theology of singleness and provide community and support for single individuals. The church should prioritize friendships and create a culture where singleness is seen as a beautiful season. The church needs to navigate the volatile political climate with grace, honoring people and holding true to the teachings of Jesus.
Elizabeth Woodson is a Bible teacher, theologian, author, and the Founder of The Woodson Institute, an organization that equips believers to understand and grow in their Christian faith. With over a decade of experience in church ministry, Elizabeth is passionate about creating pathways for discipleship and theological education in the local church. Elizabeth is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary with a Masters in Christian Education. She is also the author of Embrace Your Life: How To Find Joy When The Life You Have Is Not The Life You Hoped For and From Beginning To Forever: A Study of the Grand Narrative of Scripture.
