The Sean McDowell ShowHow Much Can Christians Compromise on Sexuality?A new book is just out offering a way for Christians to have "constructive conversations on sexuality and gender." While I am fully in support of constructive conversations (one of my goals is to model them here on YouTube) this book deeply concerns me. In this video, I do a deep-dive with Dr. Scott Rae, my Talbot School of Theology colleague and Think Biblically Podcast co-host. Let me know what you think. As always, I am open for opposing views, but on a topic this divisive, please keep comments constructive. WATCH: "Can You Faithfully Follow Jesus and...

Vintage SandVintage Sand Episode 57: Alternative Oscars: 1940's Edition, Part IGood evening, Mr. and Mrs. America and all ships at sea, and welcome to Episode 57 of Vintage Sand, our first of 2025. In this episode and the next one we return, for the penultimate time, to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary’s hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternative Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary’s model to approach every full decade in which the Academy has handed out Oscars except two: the 2010’s, and the topic for this two-part episode, Alternate Oscars: The 1940’s Edition.
It's interesting that the 40’s are considered to be the peak of Hollywo...

Unbelievable?Should we deconstruct or reconstruct? with Olivia Jackson, Preston Ulmer and Vince Vitale.Unbelievable takes on the often-misunderstood topic of deconstruction in the sense of deconstructing Christian faith or becoming exvangelical is another phrase you might have come across.
It refers to a process, some would say a movement, where individuals critically examine their beliefs, doctrines, and assumptions about Christianity. It often involves re-evaluating traditional interpretations of scripture, exploring different theological perspectives, and grappling with doubts and uncertainties.
Many proponents of deconstruction argue that it can lead to a deeper and more authentic faith by shedding outdated or harmful beliefs and embracing a more personal and nuanced understanding of spirituality. Critics, on the o...

So how do we declare these truths to the masters of suspicion in our age? The deconstructing, disoriented, disengaged skeptic," writes Preston Ulmer. He goes to say, surprisingly, "We become like him, minus the skepticism." In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I'm talking with Preston Ulmer about the spiritual discipline of deconstruction, based on his new book, Deconstruct Faith, Discover Jesus, published recently by NavPress.

Publisher's Summary:
Deconstruct Faith, Discover Jesus will help you to enter the mindset of a deconstructionist. A worldview with a high capacity for paradoxes. A mental space that outweighs your self-interest in being right. A tendency to see Christian beliefs as inseparable from Christian ethics. In doing so, you will find the original deconstructionist, Jesus, right beside you.
