Apocalypse Mini-Cast with Jason Boyett (Homebrewed CultureCast)

Last updated on: December 21, 2012 at 6:21 pm By Christian Piatt

In a brief mini-cast, Christian and Jordan welcome Jason Boyett to the show. The talk primarily revolves around the impending end of the world. Since he authored Pocket Guide to 2012 and Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse, Jason is clearly an expert on the subject. They discuss the odds of the world ending today (12.21.2012), the ways in which we could die (Yellowstone National Park blowing up, asteroids, etc.), and why people are so obsessed with the end of the...

Rev. Richard Land: Greatest Commandment Justifies Deadly Force

Last updated on: December 20, 2012 at 5:46 pm By Christian Piatt

I know this sounds strange, but my feelings about guns is pretty similar to how I feel about cigarettes. On the one hand, I can’t stand either one, and I’m more than happy to see their numbers reduced in our midst. Both seem to serve a common end game, which involves death in various forms. But though I don’t like either one, the libertarian inside of me wonders how much the government really should be involved in limiting individuals’ access... Read more

Pastor Terry Jones is No Match for the Beatles’ LOVE

Last updated on: December 19, 2012 at 6:52 pm By Christian Piatt

Many will remember pastor Terry Jones as the champion of the “Burn a Quran Day” event, intended to fan anti-Islamic rhetoric on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Though many shouted him down and criticized his motives, he continues to have somewhat of a national platform for his agenda. In this video produced by the New York Times, we get to witness what I consider a momentary intervention of God’s spirit in a beautifully, creatively nonviolent way. As Pastor Jones... Read more

Justin Lee on Gays vs Christians, Bill O’Reilly & Pat Robertson (CultureCast)

Last updated on: December 18, 2012 at 5:56 pm By Christian Piatt

After a delightful anecdote about Christian’s daughter and a painful listen to the worst version of “O Holy Night” ever recorded, Christian and Jordan welcome Justin Lee, founder of the Gay Christian Network and author of Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate, to the show. Justin was raised in a conservative evangelical culture, and around the time he reached puberty realized he was gay. He has since found a call from God in his ministry of reconciliation between...

Five Children’s Questions About the Sandy Hook Tragedy

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 6:32 pm By Christian Piatt

I’ve seen plenty of articles responding to the shooting in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. Some are angry, some pastoral, still others, prophetic in their call for change in various forms. I have little to add to the conversation at that level, but I have heard questions from many children, some from my own kids. I thought I’d offer some responses I’ve shared. What Happened? Something terribly sad. A man hurt some children and adults in a school in Connecticut. Some of... Read more

Dear Christians: Relax. There’s No War on Our Faith

Last updated on: December 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm By Christian Piatt

I sat behind a couple of folks on a plane to Seattle this morning who were discussing their distress about a so-called war on Christmas. “Memorial Day is a holiday,” said the man in a santa hat with disgust. “July 4th and Thanksgiving are holidays. Christmas is, well, Christmas!” “Absolutely,” nodded the woman next to him. “It’s just more evidence of this war against Christmas.” On the way off the plane, a flight attendant made the grave mistake of wishing...

Last updated on: December 10, 2012 at 10:00 pm By Christian Piatt

Although Jordan Green and Christian Piatt have had lots of authors on the show so far, they haven’t had many ordained ministers doing actual work in a church.They’ve also been called to the carpet for having too many dudes on the air. And then it occurred to them: Christian’s wife, Amy Piatt, was right there in the next room! After some coaxing and promises by Christian to attend various holiday parties, she agreed to come on the show and talk... Read more
