Is Reformed Theology Flawed?
During the live LDR episode, Pastor Lance asked the question: “Is reformed theology fatally flawed in presenting a faithful gospel witness and a full-on faithful witness of the gospel in the context of today?”
On this week’s episode of Pass The Mic, Tyler and Jemar revisit this question.

Live From Memphis
Tyler and Jemar broadcast live and answer the following questions sent in from the audience:
What eschatological hope do you have for the future of multi-ethnic churches?
What would reperational work look like in a city like Memphis?
How can people in the African diaspora who subscribe to Christian teachings honor their ancestry and reconcile the complex historical narrative that includes the introduction of Christianity through oppression (how can you trust the theology of a slaveholder)?
How would you explain the intersection of gender and faith in the midst of the gender revolution?
Racism is a problem within the white church that is avoided and labeled a liberal narrative, thoughts for engaging Christians who are steep in willful ignorance?
What are Tyler’s thoughts on the Black Panther villains? (follow up to the Truth’s Table crossover)
How do you respond to people of color who deny the existence of systemic injustice and white supremacy?
What do you say to a person who says justice is only for heaven?
Asked but not answered: “That Star Wars Trailer Thou!”

Pass The Tea: Live At LDR17
Truth’s Table and Pass The Mic crossover again! This time to do a LIVE AMA at this year’s #LDR2017!
Producers Note: We used the room recording setup which apparently only pulled from one mic however picked up the room speakers of the other mic. Why did this happen? I have no idea… but one way or the other we hope you enjoy the episode!
