Is That Okay? Is It Okay?
The man who got his armpit off may not have told the whole story of what provoked the zebra. If you're a zebra, you don't want to live in Ohio. We need to talk about something that I think we all know very well, especially Skye.
557: The Rise of Christian Nashville-ism & What Christians Must Do with Claude Alexander
Why doesn’t Congress work? A recent article explains how diversity, education, and geography are driving the political parties apart. These findings also help explain the widening fractures among evangelicals. In the past, evangelicalism was primarily driven by academic institutions in the North, but now it’s increasingly fueled by entertainment interests in the South. Phil explains this rise of “Christian Nashville-ism.” Then, Skye talks to Bishop Claude Alexander about his book “Necessary Christianity,” and what he believes to be the most urgent issues facing the church today. Plus, more listener feedback about teen mental health research, how puppies, infants, and Baby Yoda hack our brains, and an unexpected animal attack in Ohio.
