Hannah, Mitch & Will discuss a wide range of questions from poddy listeners covering ground like: - What could multi-faith peace-making look like?- What's up with Christians buying into wild end-times conspiracy theories?- AI and personhood?- What are the alternatives to the institutional church? - PSA?*- Evangelism for post-evangelicals? - How open-minded can you be when questioning faith?

Will is still pro-Bible but struggling to read it. He wonders if everyone actually needs to aspire towards regular Bible reading or if we can just benefit from a 'critical mass' of people doing the work and passing on the goods? Mitch somewhat concedes Will's point/somewhat pushes back on it. They then talk about the influence of increasing conservatism on the broader Church and a dumb essay someone wrote recently warning people to beware of 'sexular churches.'Sign up to receive the Sunday Message:https://spiritualmisfits.com.au/Join our online Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spiritualmisfitspodcastSupport the pod:https://spiritualmisfits.com.au/support-us/Reach out to us by email: spiritualmisfits@outlook.com Want to reach out and let us know your thoughts or suggestions for the show?
