What is the church supposed to be? Alan Hirsch is here to discuss the church growth movement, the duty of discipleship, and how we are tempted to plant pulpits rather than real churches.

French Friday: The Nazi Rot on the Right
Open Nazi rhetoric is gaining traction on the right, and the response from conservative institutions has been inconsistent at best. Skye and David trace the roots of the problem, the incentives that fueled it, and the late-breaking backlash that may signal a tipping point. They also look at ICE's increasingly aggressive "Kavanaugh stops," the risks of expanding executive power, and why election integrity could be threatened when extremism and state authority begin to reinforce each other.

The SkyePod - Liberalism
Skye and Kaitlyn talk Liberalism, a political philosophy that's shaped our world—but the word has become totally conflated with whatever is considered "left-wing." What is liberalism, why was it instrumental in constructing the American Experiment, and why does Skye seem so much more positive about it than Kaitlyn is?  0:02 - Theme Song  4:04 - Liberals or Liberalism?  16:22 - Rights and Liberalism and Democracy  22:38 - Necessities of Illiberal Institutions  34:08 - Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/142446444/edit Â

The SkyePod - Drew's News
Drew's Newsletter is launching soon! To celebrate, he's brought his smorgasbord of news. Bond's gun is missing in action from Amazon Prime posters—is this doing any good? There's a slow exodus of older church-goers from the church—is the solution to this problem right in front of us? Why's there such a dip in young people identifying as trans? And has ministry just become content creation to a smaller and smaller audience?  0:04 - Theme Song  0:32 - Drew's Newsletter!  2:31 - Is Drew Famous?  5:35 - Gunless James Bond?  21:20 - The Elderly Exodus?  23:53 - Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/141385978/
