A practical and sincere deep dive into how we read the Bible, how we think about sin, and how the church engages controversial topics like women in leadership — all driven by listener-submitted questions. Mike and Andy tackle a full mailbag in this no-frills Q&A episode that offers fresh insight, book recommendations, and pastoral reflection on issues at the heart of modern Christian conversations.

Key Takeaways: • Understanding Scripture in Context – Mike offers resources and frameworks for reading the Bible with cultural and historical context, challenging surface-level interpretations of key passages like Matthew 18. • Are We Still “Bad” After Jesus? – A nuanced response to the weight of sin, shame, and human identity in Christ. Mike confronts Reformed views of total depravity while uplifting the biblical declaration that those in Christ are no longer defined by sin. • Women in Church Leadership – A heartfelt question leads to discussion on gender roles in the church, how tradition can distort gospel beauty, and steps for engaging church leadership respectfully (or when to move on). • Fiction vs. Eyewitness: Debunking the “Epic Myth Theory” – Responding to claims that the Gospels are fictional parallels to epic stories, Mike argues for the authenticity, complexity, and historical rootedness of the Jesus narrative.
