Disagreeing Well: Exploring, Faith, Community, and the Complexities of Interpretation

Join hosts Mike Erre and Tim Stafford as they delve into a thought-provoking discussion on the nuances of biblical interpretation, the role of community in faith, and the challenges of modern Christianity. From exploring the portrayal of masculinity in popular culture to addressing the complexities of communal discernment, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights and reflections. And Superman :)

From judgmental posturing and a lack of authentic community to political alignment and cultural challenges, the hosts unpack how these factors are reshaping the role of the church in society. They also discuss the importance of cruciformity, humility, and collaborative leadership as ways to better reflect the teachings of Jesus. This conversation dives into how faith intersects with politics, navigating cultural issues like immigration and justice, and how the church can reclaim its role as a place of hospitality and authentic engagement.

With personal anecdotes, biblical insights, and practical takeaways, this episode invites listeners to think critically about their own faith journey and the church's impact on the world.

We encourage and would love to hear your perspective as we pursue a deeper understanding of faith, justice, and community together. Let’s keep the dialogue alive!
