What if the Bible was never meant to portray a God who is anything less than perfectly good? In this powerful interview with Dubb Alexander, we explore how centuries of interpretation have sometimes clouded the true heart of God—and how Jesus Himself is the perfect lens for reading every verse. Discover how cultural context, covenant shifts, and the life of Christ reveal God’s unchanging nature as Love. We dive into: * Why Jesus—not fear or punishment—is the ultimate revelation of God’s character * How to reconcile Old Testament portrayals of God with the life of Christ * The power of interpreting scripture through covenantal and cultural understanding * How to let go of distorted images of God and embrace Him as only and always good * What it means to live from relationship instead of religion * Why scripture is inspired and a true gift but not inerrant or infallible, only Christ as the Word is inerrant or infallible If you’ve ever struggled with difficult Bible passages or wrestled with the question, “Is God really good all the time?”—this conversation will set your heart free and ground you in His unshakable love.

Is it possible to find peace and meaning in a world shaped by both chaos and order, certainty and mystery, suffering and joy? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Catherine Toon and guest Bill Thrasher dive deep into the sacred paradoxes woven throughout creation, scripture, and the human experience. From Newtonian laws to the mysteries of quantum physics, from the Tree of Life to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they explore how divine tension points us to truth—and how every paradox finds its pivot and purpose in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. This episode explores: * The balance between predictability and divine mystery * How chaos and order coexist in God’s redemptive plan * Navigating the tension between control and surrender * Why true rest is found not in certainty, but in union with Christ * How the cross reframes suffering, mystery, and peace Perfect for those deconstructing rigid beliefs or reconstructing a vibrant, Spirit-filled worldview, this conversation invites you to embrace paradox as a portal into deeper intimacy with God.

In this profound conversation, William Paul Young—author of The Shack—joins Dr. Catherine Toon to explore how God shows up in the very places we often try to escape: our pain, our confusion, and our chaos. Together, they unpack how transformation isn’t a lightning bolt from heaven, but a sacred, often spiral journey of revisiting wounds with God’s redeeming love. They explore the critical difference between grief and shame, the power of present-moment living, and how we’re invited to participate in—not control—God’s redemptive work in the world. This episode is a breath of fresh grace for anyone navigating deconstruction, burnout, trauma, or the ache of not knowing what's next. It’s a reminder that you’re not behind, not broken beyond repair, and never alone. Topics covered include: * God’s relentless presence in our darkest moments * Why transformation happens in spirals, not straight lines * Redeeming grief and silencing shame * Embracing your humanity as sacred * Letting go of grand callings and stepping into divine participation * The difference between knowing about God and knowing Him deeply Whether you're in the wilderness, at the edge of burnout, or rediscovering faith beyond formulas, this conversation will meet you right where you are—with healing, hope, and holy presence.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Catherine Toon hosts Dr. Matt Pandel (psychologist and theologian) and Paul Young (author of The Shack), as they dive into the powerful themes of Matt’s newest book "Fractured Witness." This work boldly recognizes the Church’s (Ekklēsia’s) fractured legacy—how faith has been used to justify harm, and how true redemption calls us back to the real Jesus and the reality of what the Church was always meant to be. You’ll hear deeply personal stories, theological reflections, and honest critiques of systems that distort the face of God. From the misuse of scripture to the weaponization of religion, we are invited to sit in the discomfort—and from that sacred space, rediscover a gospel of relentless love, healing, and reconciliation, that can and is occurring through the evolving beautiful healthy church, the way she was meant to be. ✨ If you’ve been wounded by the Church or are seeking to reconcile faith with truth, justice, and compassion and practical suggestions operate in community as God’s life-giving Church, this episode is for you. A behavioral psychologist and theologian, Dr. Matt Pandel is first and foremost a communicator. Ordained in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, he remains fiercely ecumenical, believing the Church is best when she honors all of the traditions and expressions from which she is formed. In addition to his work as President and Professor of Trinitarian Theology and Spiritual Direction at Global Grace Seminary, he maintains a private consulting practice and serves as a regional mental health policy advisor. He resides in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with his wife and best friend, Carrie.
