[Re] Defining Evangelicalism

Last updated on: June 4, 2014 at 6:07 am By Andy Gill

[Re] Defining Evangelicalism: I, am an evangelical. There, I said it. Though, when I call myself evangelical, I do not mean it in the sense that I am this anti-science, homophobic, “God-fearing,” authoritarianistic conservative. I think we all know that this is not Christianity, nor is it representative of the Jesus who is the central figure of Christianity. When something is said to be “good news for all,” but the only people who preach it and believe in it are the only one’s... Read more

Interview on The John and Kathy Show Word FM

[If you’d like to fast forward a bit, my time with Kathy starts at about the 11:00 minute mark] Interview on The John and Kathy Show – I had the pleasure of going on John and Kathy’s show the other day! John came across my article featured on RELEVANT titled “Loneliness in the Age of Facebook” and invited me on their show to talk social media and it’s impact on relationships.

On God & Sex

Last updated on: May 26, 2014 at 6:07 am By Hannah Gordon

On God and Sex. I’ve been having this conversation a lot with my friends lately. None of them went to a private school. None of them had a particularly religious upbringing. God and religion are just something they experience once or twice a year, on Christmas or Easter. I, on the other hand, grew up hearing the word of Our Lord. I grew up with weekly chapels. I grew up memorizing Bible verses and praying before lunch in the cafeteria.... Read more

6 “HERETICS” WHO SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EVANGELICALISM (OR, A LESSON IN CONSISTENCY)

Last updated on: April 6, 2017 at 12:58 pm By Guest Contributor

What does it mean to be “evangelical”? What must you believe? What must you reject? Can you be an evangelical Christian and believe… …in evolution? …that Hell is only temporary? …that all people, even those in Hell can/will eventually be saved? …that people from other religions can be saved without even knowing it? …that the atonement is not about God’s wrath being poured out on Jesus in our place? …that Scripture is errant? I think many evangelicals would say “no” to most—maybe even all—of these.... Read more

White Privilege Explained

Last updated on: April 30, 2014 at 9:26 pm By Andy Gill

Privilege is an oddity, though what’s more idiosyncratic is that society has taken arbitrary factors, such as the pigmentation of one’s skin, and used them as a means to rank or decide one’s overall value. The thing is, many of us who find ourselves to be in a position of privilege are not effected by these de facto’s, which is part of the reality that comes with being privileged, in other words privilege is blinding. It’s true, you don’t know what you don’t know, but... Read more

The Best of Times and the Worst of Times

Last updated on: April 17, 2014 at 3:57 pm By Andy Gill

I bawled my eyes out while watching this. As Rollie Williams from Upworthy says so well, “It’s so important to remember that the people we idolize aren’t the two-dimensional, easily digestible caricatures that we see of them in the media.” The Moth brings Anthony Griffith in to share his story of being an active comedian attempting to make audiences laugh on a nightly basis, while coping with his daughters fight with cancer. “25 kids walked in here with cancer and only...

Loneliness (Part 1)

Last updated on: April 9, 2014 at 2:33 am By Andy Gill

A while back I met with a mentor to talk about a then current relationship I was in, I remember confessing to him how afraid I was… Nothing was wrong with her or our relationship, in fact everything was amazing. I was just afraid. Afraid that I’ll get hurt, wounded, or that eventually things wouldn’t work out. It was the fear that eventually she might see me the way in which I then saw myself… And so out of fear I ended the relationship. I... Read more

Segregation in the Church: White’s Only Bible Studies

Last updated on: April 7, 2014 at 3:52 pm By Andy Gill

I couldn’t believe it. You’re not going to invite my friends are you? You’re not going to allow them in… The pastor silently stared back at me with guilt in his eyes and replied, “What do you want me to say?” It was almost as if all hope for a benevolent world had been instantaneously sucked out of me. We eventually shook hands and parted ways. I walked back to my car, closed the door, and sat there in silent disbelief.... Read more
