In the 20th episode of FTMonthly Josh tackles cultural issues on both the left and right. The truth, is its own side, is that third wayism? Josh says no and analyzes a debate with Randal Rouser, The "woke right" and what to make of a sword ban in the UK and a troubling sermon from a Lutheran pastor about Jesus needing to "expand his goodness?"

Theology Thursday meets FTMonthly today: We often think of "wokeness" as a term specifically meant to explain leftist takeovers of institutions but what if there was a form of wokeness on the right?

Josh and Tim discuss and possibly even fight about these things and more... As Christians its important to bring a theological, philosophical and reasonable perspective ...

January's FTMonthly Josh tackles a recent dialogue about LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church between  @SeanMcDowell  and Brandan Robertson, Why a 400 pound woman is suing Lyft and more.

"Woke" in this title refers to the fact that people have chastised Sean for having Robertson on by saying things about Robertson like why have a "woke heretic" on your show. It is not intended as pejorative.

Following Trump's inauguration he attended the inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral... Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde delivered the homily and was rather... pointed in her opposition to Trump's policies. Politics from the pulpit? Really? But... more importantly, was she right? Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein analyze these moments (and a CNN segment from earlier in the day) to find out in this week's Theology Thursday.

It can be difficult parsing through the weeds of political appointments, especially as Christians. Not everyone has the time or ability so Josh Klein is joined by Winter Knight and Desert Rose to break down most of the cabinet picks in this episode with a Christian Conservative perspective... Are they good or bad, should Christians expect more or less?
