Tim and Colton share how their Christmas and New Year’s went. Then, after Tim attended the funeral of a dear friend who died much too young, they discuss their thougts and feelings about funerals, or a Celebration of Life service, as many Christians call them, and the various ways we think of life and our faith with the death of a loved one. Oh, and Tim has something nice to say about the importance of church…

Beer of the Week:

Jesus was born a subversive King, born to show the world the true Kingdom and the True God. In so doing, He showed the world how the Roman kingdom was false.

This is part one of our two-part series delving into the book The Party Crasher by Joshua Butler Ryan. He is a pastor and author, and this book describes what he calls the “four political religions”. He argues America is not divided into Right and Left but is better understood as four political movements vying for control of the country. We outline and discuss the four political religions.

Related to politics, we discuss economics and Christianity. Tim shares a bit about his worldview on how a Jesus follower should or could manage their finances and how the Church generally views personal and macro finances through Biblical practices like tithing. That’s followed up with a cautionary tale about how the Jonestown Massacre can inform us what can happen when idealism becomes extreme and cultish.
