Maybe God

In this raw and honest interview with Maybe God guest host Justin Brierley‬, Preston Perry tells the story of how God chased him on the streets of Chicago, and how he’s since discovered not only the importance of the truth, but how to tell the truth in a way that speaks to someone’s heart. The apologist, spoken word poet, and co-host of "With The Perrys"  talks about growing up in gangs, finding Christ, and how God convicted him about his old approach to evangelism. We also hear about Preston's life with his wife, Jackie Hill Perry, and why wrote his new book “How to Tell the Truth: The Story of How God Saved Me to Win Hearts—Not Just Arguments”.   Read Preston’s book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Tell-Truth-Hearts-Not-Arguments-ebook/dp/B0CL7NSWJS   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod 

The generation born into evangelical purity culture has grown up, and many have started families of their own. But as time goes on, it's becoming more evident that many still struggle with purity culture's complicated legacy―its idolization of virginity, its mixed messages about modesty and lust, and its promise of a healthy marriage and great sex for those who follow the rules. In this interview, Eric chats with celebrated author Rachel Joy Welcher about purity culture's effects on her own journey with sex and marriage. Rachel also carefully examines purity culture’s teachings through the lens of Scripture and offers practical advice for the Christians attempting to navigate heated debates about LGBT+ relationships, premarital sex, and more.

In a world riddled with political idolatry and endless rage bait, division and strife have become the norm. Even Christians have fallen prey to this polarization, causing us to abandon the biblical call to unity in favor of our favorite political commentators. Though it seems as if meaningful and respectful disagreement is a relic of the past, apologist Sean McDowell insists that these conversations are not only possible — they're ESSENTIAL. For years now, Sean has been critically engaging the world on his own wildly popular YouTube channel. In this interview, Eric and Sean discuss the traumatic upbringing of Sean's well-known father, Josh McDowell, the questions that led to Sean's teenage deconstruction, the upcoming election, and Sean's new book, "End the Stalemate: Move Past Cancel Culture to Meaningful Conversations."   Read Sean’s book: https://www.amazon.com/End-Stalemate-Culture-Meaningful-Conversations/dp/1496481151   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod

In part two of our series on critical race theory, Eric Huffman chats with author and scholar Ed Uszynski about white evangelicals' hesitancy to address racism, and how their silence inadvertently drives onlookers away from the church and toward the "woke" left. On an incredibly personal note, Ed divulges the racist beliefs espoused in his childhood home, the process of examining his own racial biases, and why his journey to championing true, biblical justice is one we should all take. Eric also reveals his family’s own history with racism and offers a strong call to Christians everywhere.    This must listen to episode also features Justin Giboney, cofounder of the AND Campaign, attorney and political strategist.   Read Ed's book, Untangling Critical Race Theory: https://www.amazon.com/Untangling-Critical-Race-Theory-Christians/dp/151400481X   Learn more about the AND Campaign: https://andcampaign.org/about/   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod 

Critical race theory has taken center stage in our culture’s conversation about racism. For many, it’s also become a proverbial line in the sand. If you question anything about CRT, you risk being called a racist. Suggest anything remotely positive about it, on the other hand, and they’ll say you’re a woke Marxist. In this two-part series, we’ll hear from two leading experts who will help us understand CRT’s origins, its recent entry into mainstream culture, and how it complements or contradicts the Christian worldview. Part one features Neil Shenvi, author of a 2023 book called Critical Dilemma: The Rise of Critical Theories and Social Justice Ideology—Implications for the Church and Society.   Follow Neil Shenvi’s work: https://shenviapologetics.com/   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod

Our replay of Pastor Eric’s recent sermon series began with Maybe God episode “What is Truth?” In this second installment, Eric addresses the increasing demand for Christians to compromise long-held beliefs in the name of “inclusivity.” In his quest to embrace both truth and love, Eric provides answers to our generation’s most common questions surrounding the limits of inclusivity, the exclusivity of the Gospel’s claims, and what this means for our ability to affirm all religions.    Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod
