The Church above preaches that the world outside their four walls are filled with sinners and the people in their buildings are perfect. Many churches teach this implicitly but would never say so explicitly. These Churches pray words that sound good and they try by any means to make everyone act more like them.
.
This is the Underground Church where we believe no one is perfect and that's a good thing! We believe everyone can contribute to the Church but must do so with humility. We believe prayer should be honest and genuine and spoken in regular (vulgar) language to God!
What does it mean to pray honestly? What does the Bible say about honest prayer? What is the honest prayer in the Bible? How do you pray genuinely? What is the meaning of Psalm 17? What is the message of Psalm 17 6? What does Psalm 17:8 mean? What do apples represent in the Bible?
.
In this episode, we will:
Explore the nature of prayerDeconstruct the attitude of the Church and church cultureDiscuss Psalm 17 and the importance of genuineness when we speak to GodMentioned in this episode:

The Church above preaches about an all-powerful and all-loving God but talks about Him with disinterest or even apathy! They speak of the incredible and miraculous, they speak of amazing news, but their worship services are filled with only melancholy and structure. They lack excitement whilst speaking of the most incredible and exciting news of all - JESUS SAVES!
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe the news of Jesus Christ saving and of the God of the Universe loving us to be worth getting wild and out about! We believe that we should shout for joy, scream praises to God, and to just get noisy in Church! Our churches should be filled with good song, conversations, and shouts of praise!
What is the meaning of "make a joyful noise"? What does the Bible say about a joyful noise? What is the joyful sound in the Bible? What does the Bible say about making noise? Why should we make a joyful noise to God? What is the prayer for Psalm 98? What is the meaning behind Psalm 98? What does the rivers clap their hands mean? What is the call to worship for Psalm 98?
.
In this episode, we will:
Discuss the value in shouting for joyDeconstruct the liturgy of our churchesExegete Psalm 98Explore the importance of getting wild for GodMeditate on the noises of nature.

The Church above preaches that the Bible can teach you how to be financially well, how Jesus died for you personally, and how the Bible can make your life better. They teach an individualized gospel that is focused on the self. They put forth Biblical financial plans to make yourself wealthy with no regard of how we can spend our money to benefit others.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that Jesus' death was meant to help us bring salvation to "the other", that the Bible teaches us how to from a just society, and that financial justice is more important to God than financial success.
What does the Bible say about financial? What does the Bible say about giving financially? What does God say about struggling financially? How to be financially free according to the Bible? What does the Bible say about money? How does God want us to use money? What does God say about managing money? What is the meaning of Psalm 15? How to live the Psalm 15 life? What does Psalm 15:5 mean?
.
In this episode, we will:
Deconstruct the Biblical narrative around financesExplore how to use our money in a just societyDiscuss the Biblical approach to a system that keeps the poor, poorExplain how the message of Salvation is not individualisticMentioned in this episode:

The Church above preaches a message about a personal savior who exists for their own benefit. They teach about a God who is all about you, worship in way that benefits the self, and praying for one's own benefit. They put forth a selfish Christianity that has been hollowed out of any real truth of the person of Jesus.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe Salvation is a communal experience - that worship is for and with the community, and that we are all joined in prayed by the communion of the saints! Those who go to Church and use God's people for their own benefit are called wicked in the Bible and need to repent.
What is meant by the communion of saints? What are the three types of communion of saints? Do protestants believe in the communion of saints? What is the meaning of personal savior? Where in the Bible does it say Jesus is our personal savior? What are the main purposes of the church? What is the purpose of going to church?
.

The Church above often deals in fear and hate towards the outsiders. They mock their enemies, instead of loving them; and, they fear those who are different from themselves.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that God does not deal in hate, fear, mockery, or the belittling of others! We believe God wants His people to speak life and to stand with those who feel like outsiders among us.
What does marginalized mean in the Bible? What are 3 examples of marginalized? Who were the marginalized at the time of Jesus? How did Jesus treat the marginalized? What is the meaning behind Psalm 12? What is the teaching of Psalm 12?

The Church above wants to act like only non-Christians feel anxiety and like those in the Church should feel no anxiety or fear at all. They deny a core part of the human experience in a belief that God only wants happiness for those who obey good enough.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that anxiety and fear can be a positive part of the human experience both in and out of the Church! We believe that we should deal with anxiety by focusing on God, not acting like we don't feel any fear at all. Embracing our emotions and processing them together with God and one another is part of what it means to be the Church!
What does God say about anxiety? How does God view anxiety? What is God's remedy for anxiety? How do I release my anxiety to God? Is religious anxiety a thing? What is Psalms 11 talking about? What are the verse of Psalm 11? What is the insight of Psalm 11?
.

Learn to embrace our anxietyDiscuss the benefits of focusing on GodChallenge our view of fear as ChristiansDeconstruct the Church's view on the human conditionMentioned in this episode:

The Church above wants to yell about how awful the world is and how we are all sinners, yet they insist that an all-good and perfect God created us all! Many people in the church above teach nonsense about how a good God had the power to create something good but couldn't!
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that the all-good, all-powerful God created a good world filled with good people! He makes all things new as He continuously recreates His beautiful creation all around us and in us! We believe that by seeing the good that God has placed in creation that we can all bring that good out in our daily lives! Forsaking bitterness we see and partake in the creation of true beauty!
What does God's beautiful creation mean? Where in the Bible does it say God created beautiful? How beautiful is the creation of God? Where in the Bible does it say God sees us as beautiful? What is the quote about the beauty of God's creation? What is the meaning of Psalm 8? What is the dignity of Psalm 8? Who is the avenger in Psalm 8?

The Church above wants to act like God is just biding time to come and kill anyone who has ever sinned. Often, God is made out to be an angry man in the skies waiting to act out revenge, rather than a God who embraces justice and equity for all.
.
This is the underground church and we believe in a God who prioritizes and desires justice over revenge, equity over injustice, love over fear, and freedom for the marginalized and subjected! We believe that God will judge the righteous and the wicked fairly, that one day addicts will find restoration, the marginalized will find freedom, and all will have peace and justice!
What does it mean God will judge with equity? What is the equity of God? What is the biblical meaning of equity? What does biblical justice mean? What does God consider justice? What is the biblical understanding of addiction? How does God deal with addicts? What are the psalms for judgement? How does C.S. Lewis explain judgement in the psalms?
.
In this episode, we will:
Examine what David means by "judgement" in the psalmsExegete Psalm 7Discuss how God will bring equity to sinners, the faithful, addicts, and moreDeconstruct how the Church views final judgement and the heart of God
-
The Church above sees no contradiction in decrying ideas like karma while preaching a gospel that states God only rewards those who go to Church, pay their tithes, and do good things. The church often preaches about a transactional God that doesn't exist rather than inviting others into a real relationship with the Divine.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that God's act of salvation is an invitation to work with God to make our hopes in Him become realized in our own time. We believe that God does not force salvation on anyone, but we also believe that salvation is not achievable on our own. This is why an open and relational God is necessary for any practical theology in our modern times.
What is the true meaning of salvation? What is one means of salvation? What is the salvation of God? What is the Bible way of salvation? What is the meaning of Christian transformation? What is the transformational model of Christianity? What does a transformational church believe?

The Church above acts like every song made that isn't about God, especially if it is sad or angry, is anti-Christian. We have in many cases abandoned our love of music and the arts. The Church even often acts like Christians should always and only feel happy.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe it is important to engage with music that truly expresses our feelings - whether those be feelings of anger, sadness, or even jealousy and lust. It is important to be in touch with our feelings, but it is more important to focus on God. God is ALL IN ALL, and He wants us to fully be who we are in Him!
What is the prayer for Psalm 3? What does break the teeth of the wicked mean? What psalm is pain and grief? What psalm is for comfort? Which verse says God is all in all? What does God is all in all mean? What does it mean to focus on God? How do I clear my mind to focus on God?

The Church above acts like Christians should be completely cut off from the world and avoid sinners at all costs, and still expects to find people and "show them the light". They want to cut themselves off from the world, so they never have to encounter what they see as not of God; then, they find themselves losing the youth who are totally unprepared to face the realities of the world.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that it is important for all Christians to encounter and interact with the world at large, whilst remaining in a healthy Church community. We shouldn't have to fear the outside world, but we also shouldn't be trying to make ourselves look like the rest of the world either. Why is isolation common in ministry? Why do I feel so lonely at church? What is the biblical meaning of outreach? How to plan church outreach?

The Church above pretends to either be uninterested in politics or like only one side is an option for Christians. It acts as though political outcomes are more important than the process to get there. They prioritize wealth and influence over caring for the needy and foreigners in our lands.
.
This is the Underground Church, and we believe the Bible has an outline for the politically homeless. The Bible shows how God admonishes the leaders who care for the poor and needs, are honorable and have humility, over those who bring great wealth or power to the nation. How should the Church engage in politics? What should you do if you feel politically homeless? Are churches allowed to be political? Is the Catholic Church political? How do we honor our leaders and still engage honestly in our political setting? DO we prioritize wealth and influence or immigrants and the needy?
.
In this episode, we will:
Learn how Samuel was politically homelessSee how God's people engaged with politics in the BibleDiscuss what priorities we should bring into our politicsExamine whether human leadership is a good thing at allMentioned in this episode:

The Church above has attempted to hide its own sin and acts like it doesn't do anything wrong. Many people have been harmed by actions the Church has tried to hide away. Many have lost trust in the Church because of how it has tried to hide its own sin or divert attention away from its own wrong-doing.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe a better testimony would be an honest one where the church exposes the sin within its own community before calling out what's wrong in secular communities. What is transparency in the church? Should churches be transparent with finances? What is the purpose of accountability in the church? What does the Bible say about accountability? Are we supposed to hold other Christians accountable?
.
In this episode, we will:
Explain the importance of calling out other believersExplore the issues for oneself to hold in your strugglesDeconstruct how we protect the testimony of our communitiesDiscuss how to nurture an authentic, loving communityMentioned in this episode:

*This episode explores explicit themes in the Bible and discusses highly sensitive scenes and topics in the Biblical narrative.
.
The Church above claims that God both doesn't want you be involved in politics and that He desires all Christians in America to vote as a Republican. Many people live in fear in the United States due to political agendas that are against the LGBTQ+ community, against immigrants, women's rights, and more. The God of the book of Judges desires HIs people to contribute to a different kind of polity that encourages hospitality.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that God cares deeply about politics and desires for people of every race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation to feel safe. What is the Christian view of politics? What political party are Christians? What is Christian political theology? Is there a Christian form of government? What is the Christian concept of hospitality? How can Christians show hospitality?
.

The Church above has a toxic view of masculinity, masked in an understanding that it's not about physical attributes. The deemphasize physical strength to mask how they over-emphasize other toxic traits of leadership, control, and manipulation. This idea of men as controlling leaders is unbiblical. The Bible teaches how men can be weak, poor leaders' and, how women can be strong and excellent leaders. Strength is found in God and in humility, not in intellect, strength, or the ability to control others.
.
This is the underground Church and we believe that humility is strength. What is true biblical masculinity? What are the principles of godly manhood? What are the pillars of the Bible manhood? What is biblical strength? What strength does God give us? Was there any female leaders in the Bible? Who are the female rulers in the Bible? What does the Bible say about female leadership?

The Church above teaches that sin and guilt pass down from our parents; they teach that our sins will be passed down to our kids and that we are doomed to repeat our parents' sins. All of these teachings are blatantly wrong. The Bible struggles with the idea of how our mistakes are passed down, but traches that the consequences may impact others but the sin is our own.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that our sins have consequences and that no one has to carry the burden of the sin or expectations of their families. What is the Catholic definition of original sin? What is the original sin and the actual sin? What are examples of generational sins? What does the Bible say about generational sins? Can sins be passed down? What is the inherited sin in Christianity?
.
In this episode we will:

The Church above teaches the need for an umbrella or chain of authority. This creates the illusion of proper illusion and Biblical authority. Many in the Church strive for authority or lord their position over others in the Church. They teach that there is a priesthood of all believers, but act like only the men on stage have a true connection with God.
.
This is the Underground Church, where we believe there should be no hierarchy in the Church. Judges 9 & 10 reveals the nature of why toxic men seek out leadership. Why did God allow Abimelech? What did Abimelech do in the Book of Judges? What is an example of toxic leadership? What is a toxic leadership behavior? What is the Biblical definition of leadership? What is the Biblical quality of leadership?
.
In this episode, we will:

The Church above pushes the idea that Christians should be perfect once they accept salvation. Many in the Church above put on a performance and try to act like they're perfect rather than admitting their guilts and mistakes to grow stronger together. Many in the Church make signs out of everything, while others ignore clear signs right in front of them.
.
This is the underground Church, where we are open about our mistakes and doubts. In this episode we examine the story of Gideon in Judges 6-8. How do we know whether something is truly a sign from God? Is it okay to doubt our callings and paths in life? How do Christians deal with doubts? Is doubt a lack of faith? Is doubt the same as unbelief? Why do I keep looking for signs? Can I ask the universe for a sign? How do I stop looking for signs in the universe?
.
In this episode, we will:
Challenge the mainstream's church handling of signsExamine symptoms of a sick churchInterpret the book of JudgesDiscuss how to look for signsChallenge our interpretation of the signs around usMentioned in this episode:
