Is it Bad or Good to Serve God? (Ep95)
Christians often talk about serving the Lord. And while it’s true that the Bible calls his people to serve him with all their hearts, it’s a mistake to think that what this means is that God needs us to meet his needs. In fact, the Bible frequently describes God as serving his people, meeting their needs in Jesus.

In this episode Chuck and Aaron talk about the foundation and necessity of congregational singing.

Christianity and Legalism (Ep88)
Legalism is the belief that humans flourish best when they have order, structure, and rules to guide them. Christianity, while definitely providing order and rules for living, holds that humans flourish best when in relationship, especially the relationship all humans were created for – with the creator God in Jesus.
Is Christianity a Psychological Crutch? (Ep87)
In a materialist age, Christianity appears to some committed secularists to be a crutch – a psychological prop weak-minded religious people need for some sort of support or comfort. Chuck and Aaron talk about how those who make that charge are (partially) correct in their assessment of how Christianity functions in the life of believers but also very hypocritical in their unwillingness to acknowledge their own psychological crutches.
