Episode notes
How to Address Passive-Aggressive Pastors
- Lovingly challenge your pastor by following biblical steps, such as addressing concerns humbly, then bringing others if needed.
- Consider the church's leadership structure; avoid single-leader dominance to protect against abuse and passive-aggressive pulpit use.
Churches Should State Controversial Beliefs
- Churches should clearly state their beliefs on abortion and LGBTQ issues publicly, such as on their website.
- This transparency helps people vet churches and signals commitment to biblical teachings on sanctity of life and marriage.
Entertainment Always Has Worldview
- All entertainment has a worldview and influences our thinking, so no media is truly neutral.
- Christians should discern themes aligned with redemption and avoid content celebrating sin or crude joking.
