Encounter PodcastEpisode #28- Truth or Dare?Today, Joe Costa, Cole Perseo, and Adam Preim put aside the prep and do a freestyle episode. We each came up with 3 questions that were either Biblical, Personal, or Wildcard questions and each of us needed to answer. We weren't allowed to know each other's questions beforehand so the listeners are able to hear authentic and unprepared responses. We run the gamut from deep theological discussions on how the American church might see real persecution in our lifetimes, to then argue about murdering chickens daily versus fighting orangutans annually.

Encounter PodcastEpisode #20- Biblical Deconstruction = Bad TheologyThis week, Joe Costa, Cole Perseo, and Adam Preim take a deep dive into the popular Christian movement called Christian Deconstruction. We try to understand it, hold it up to God's Word, and offer our take on it. As Christians, we need to be like the Bereans (Act 17) by adhering to the Word and be willing to call out bad doctrine when we hear it. Today, we do just that.
