The Angry Christian PodcastNot My PresidentThe Democrat Debate took place the night we recorded this episode and it got us thinking about some things. Does God have a political party? Is it fair to say "Not My President"? Is it possible to agree with those on the "other side" on various things without supporting their overall political platform? How do we get to a better place in our political discourse? Does the Bible have anything to say about politics? These questions and more we discuss in this episode of the Angry Christian Podcast.2020-02-251h 35

The Angry Christian PodcastBONUS: Triggered – The Christian Outrage CultureAfter watching the western church response to John MacArthur/Beth Moore, Kanye, then Kanye/Joel Osteen, and now Chick-fil-A I can confidently say that the reality is these folks get triggered just as easily as their liberal and millennial counterparts…they just get triggered over different things.2019-11-2105 min

The Angry Christian PodcastBONUS: Election Day WoesI used to be obsessed in a very unhealthy way with politics.

The Angry Christian PodcastBONUS: Kanye, MacArthur, and MooreIt's been an interesting couple of weeks in Western Christianity as we saw the freak out over John MacArthur telling Beth Moore to go home and then a week later Kanye West dropping his gospel album "Jesus is King". In the middle of the commotion an interesting thing was revealed about the state of the American Church...we don't get along. In fact, we're pretty divided along some unfortunate lines.

The Angry Christian PodcastDon’t Bite the ShepherdThe church is a two-sided coin. On one side you have church leaders, and on the other side you have church members. Both sides think they ARE the coin, when in reality they are but one side of the SAME coin. As a result, unity is missing from many of our local churches. Sure, pastors have been guilty of beating the sheep, but the sheep have been guilty of biting the shepherd as well. In this episode, the Angry Christian crew discusses the abuse of church leaders at the hands of the sheep. [Hebrews 13:17 and Ephesians 4] Be sure to...2019-10-221h 25
The Angry Christian PodcastDon’t Beat the SheepBeing the leader in a church is hard work. Church folks can be some of the most frustrating and difficult folks to work with. But, despite their flaws (and our own) and the amount of stress and frustration we may face as church leaders, beating the sheep should never be an option. God doesn't take kindly to it, and we put ourselves in great danger when we ignore this fact and abuse the sheep for personal gain. Unfortunately, it happens more often than we may realize as beating the sheep isn't just a physical act. In this episode we...2019-10-081h 36
