What are the evangelical messages around sex, desire, spirituality, and beauty actually doing to us and our children? Sheila Wray Gregoire shares research on this question, and offers healthy, Jesus-centered alternatives. We also hash out social media conversations, celebrity, and much more.  Find more from Rebekah at The Kingdom Outpost. Her article on Twitter and celebrity theologians is on Medium:...

Once again, we dive into Judges, and think about how the mighty Gideon fell from faith to cowardly idolatry. But first: a recap of what we’ve been reading lately, and corny poems for spring.  I mentioned Scribd at the top of the episode - it's a better-than-Audible audiobook and ebook platform.

This week, I drag @WalterRothbard off Twitter and into a wide-ranging conversation on political theory, marriage, and anger. David (real last name not disclosed) has an amazing testimony of the transforming power of Christ's peace over anger. We get into some turbulent waters as we consider critiques against an author that David has benefited from and conclude with some practical advice about overcoming anger. What did you think of the episode? Who would you like to hear from in the future?...

Lisl and I are excited to kick off a new season (era? reboot?) of That Jesus Podcast! After the usual navel-gazing, we pick up with the book of Judges, exploring the rise of Gideon. Does God want us to demand signs before we act? Is cowardice a sin? Did Gideon make noise with a ram's horn or with a trumpet? Tune in to find out.

We are back with Season Five!  In this episode, we talked about an article that was recently published in the Kingdom Outpost by one of the hosts on the pursuit of pleasure in Christ. Paradoxically, discipline may be the path to spiritual euphoria.

Styles of parenting have a way of stirring up conflict like few other things. Perhaps that’s because parenting is so real. We’ve all been parented - for better or worse - and many of us are parents. Most of us will be - again, for better or worse. In today’s episode, we have Patricia Lewis on to share about an alternative to the traditional fundamentalist spanking-centered approach. Patricia is a mom herself, with training as a foster parent and as a special ed teacher. Titus is a parent...

This episode was worth the wait: Dru talks with David Carlson, who recently achieved “Twitter virality” for his parody of what he calls “patriarchal theobros.” But that conversation is just the warm-up. Dru and David talk theological formation, devotional life, and how creativity can draw us to God. That’s not all, folks: Before we get to David, Titus and Dru do some Monday-morning quarterbacking on Titus’s recent debate on non-violence. You can find Titus’s debate in our podcast feed (ep...

We're back with another look at Judges - this time, we explore four judges from chapters 3-5. Why does God keep testing Israel? Was Barack a judge, a coward, or just a guy that God used?

Dru and Lisl begin a study in the Old Testament book of Judges. It's a bit different from our usual fare, but quite possibly worth a listen! They discuss genocide, the sovereignty of God, and how fast a person could run without their big toes.  Join the conversation by texting or sending a voice message on WhatsApp. Dru's number is 218.353.1725.

What kind of Apocalypse do you believe in? Are you premil, amil, preterist, or just a panmillenialist? Our guest explains why most eschatology systems miss the point of John’s revelation. It’s really good stuff. Before the good stuff though, Titus and Dru talk about prayer retreats and longform prayer. Dru rants about panmillenialism and forgets the name of Jeremy Duncan - our esteemed guest. Check out Jeremy’s book, UPSIDE-DOWN APOCALYPSE, here:...

This week, we (sorta?) field questions from our audience, except those that Titus doesn't like. Dru edits out the stuff that is especially egregious - so what's left? The cult of domesticity, Hutterites, small businesses, and a bit on the end of Acts. If you listen very closely, you might just hear a cry for help.  Reach out on FB at: facebook.com/thatjesuspod.  Or even message/WhatsApp Dru's burner phone at 218.353.1725  Check out the latest on Patreon:...

Without Titus around, Dru manages to ramble through a conversation with a couple Midwesterners: Packy Sporre and Tim Lattin talk about their experiences with the Mennonite church and community, before diving into an ill-fated discussion on gun control.  Like all our episodes, this is a conversation, and there's more to be said.

Alright, this one is intense.  Dr. Baxter is an intellectual mystic (not a contradiction of terms) who joined us to for an extremely packed interview about Christian mysticism (also not a contradiction of terms).  Just give it a shot.  Jason's work: https://www.jasonmbaxter.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatjesuspodcast/message

Into the yawning void caused by a lack of guys yammering about abortion on podcasts, Dru and Titus nobly step into the gap. Listen in for confessions of childhood dream jobs, the perfect wedding, and some heartfelt reflection on how Jesus people should respond to restrictions on abortion. Dru also rants about stare decisis and flat Bibles.  We warmly welcome your contribution to That Jesus Podcast.

It's Episode 87 of That Jesus Podcast and we finally got around to talking about Jesus! In this edition of the show, Titus struggles to describe some misgivings he has about how much Christians talk a lot about issues relating to Jesus and his church but often seem to miss centering on Jesus himself.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatjesuspodcast/message

Is social media the greatest tool for evangelism since Pentecost? Is it shallow noise that makes us feel good about being connected without making a difference? Or, in the words of Titus, is social media the devil? Joash Thomas knows a thing or two about social media and he joins Dru to answer this question once and for ALL. Or, at least share some deep yet practical insight on the topic.  Don't miss the webinar on the same topic, featuring Joash, Beth Moore, and Karen Swallow Prior...

Titus is back from his trip and has some harrowing stories to tell. God was teaching him and the rest of the team how to trust in the Father and that things are not actually in our control. Dru and Titus went on to discuss some common objections to disciple-making in unreached nations and how to go about this work in a healthy, productive way.  Titus' article about why Protestants aren't unreached: https://kingdomoutpost.org/why-the-christians-you-disagreed-with-arent-the-unreached/ Support...
