You Can't Say That In Church

Despite an uptick in the social media presence of Christians recently, all church and church membership numbers have been going down consistently for 50 years. What does the future look like for Christianity? Will America not be the place Christianity blooms any more? We are going to look at a lot of stats in this episode and talk about them.

Topic starts at 17:00! That women can lead churches and congregations has almost become an assumption in our "progressive" 2023 culture. But is this what the Bible actually teaches? In this episode we lay out all the major arguments and grapple with the verses and let you come to your own conclusions.

Al Mohler recently said in World magazine that Andy Stanley has "departed biblical Christianity". This is a stunning statement from the president of SBTS. In this episode we do a final deep dive into Andy Stanley, looking at his most recent sermon and the shocking implications of a pastor who has, for the most part, left Christianity.

In this episode Daniel and Andrew delve into Andy's new message from 2 weeks ago "The Fundamental List". Ouch. Feels like he's taking shots at us now! Well we are going to watch his sermon anyway and unpack all of the bad theology contained inside.

YCSTIC has some announcements! We are now on YouTube. Since you brought it up, why not talk about the online space for Christians these days? What is our goal with our ministry? (YouTube, Podcast) What are some pitfalls we've run into? What do we think of other spaces doing similar things? (Apologia, Alisa Childers, etc.)

With Daniel recently no longer attending a more charismatic church, this has gotten us talking a lot about the common pitfalls between Reformed Theology and Charismatic theology. Our good buddy Nick comes on the podcast to talk about his upbringing in a reformed church and why he has landed at a charismatic church.

In a recent Q&A session for churches in Arizona, whistle blower Ryan Visconti blew open the whole case on what Andy has been saying behind closed doors about his theological views. We take as charitable a view as possible in this investigation but also compare what Andy is saying with what God teaches. Spoiler alert: it's not looking good for Andy.

In case you haven't noticed, a lot of Reformed theology guys make podcasts. Neither Daniel or I attend a Reformed church currently. But Daniel has been flirting with Calvinism and might go full Presby. (Jokes!) In this episode we discuss the things we like and dislike about Reformed theology vs the big box mega church model.
