Mel and Michael discuss the passing of Pope Francis and what this means for the broader church. What is Mel's perspective on the Catholic Church? Is it a valid expression of faith? Next they talk about the different kinds of interactions which come with Easter services here at Summit Church. As a Christian how should you engage with an eccentric person? How should pastors minister to church-goers who only attend on Easter and Christmas? The conversation turns to the heavy subject of idolizing your child. What does child-idolatry look like in our modern context? What does it mean in today's age to be willing to sacrifice your child in the same way Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac? This episode finishes with a discussion surrounding the idea that misery loves company. What should pastors do to break up these toxic communities?
