Music City MinuteZach Bryan stays out of GRAMMYs and Jake Worthington drops new song | Music City MinuteFor much of the music industry, the Grammy Awards are considered the tippy-top of the recognition pyramid. Well, Zach Bryan may not share that same feeling anymore. The “Pink Skies” singer had decided not to submit his latest album, “Great American Bar Scene” or any singles for consideration. It is not clear why he changed his tune — I mean, he did attend the awards and won last year. Maybe, since he already that feather in his cap, he feels he doesn’t need another one.
Jake Worthington’s career has hit a high note. He recently singed to Miranda Lambert’s label, Big Loud...

Liminal Living59: Zach Lambert: A Holistic Inclusive Bible Interpretation"Have you ever had a difficult time reading Paul’s Epistles? Ever felt like your questions were not part of the preapproved rhetoric of the groupthink? Zach felt the same way growing up in the Southern Baptist Church and lived at the edges of inclusion, fading further away from his faith. And then he read the Gospels and wondered why his church was not talking about this Jesus guy at all. Today’s conversation is about progressive Christianity and the inclusivity of the early church. We discuss the shift from a way of living and embodying the teachings of Jesu...

Crucible of ThoughtA Conversation with Zach LambertToday, I had the real privilege of interviewing Zach Lambert, pastor of the Restore Austin church in Austin Texas. Zach showed up on my radar in early 2022 as I began to seriously study the issue of LGBTQ rights and whether it was possible to be a Christian and affirming at the same time. I saw Zach's powerful sermon on the topic, which I'll link in the show notes, and it really impressed me and motivated me to study the topic harder.
I reached out to Zach and asked him if we could speak on Zoom, and much to my...

Where Do We Go From Here?Is Andy Stanley's Method the Future for LGBTQ+ Engagement in the Church? Andy Stanley's megachurch, North Point, held a conference to equip parents of LGBTQ+ youth and young adults to love and accept their kids, and soon after conservative gatekeepers accused Stanley of abandoning historic Christian doctrine. This episode discusses North Point's method and asks the question: Is it a blueprint for churches to follow? We consider: North Point's engagement with the LGBTQ+ community for the past 10 years an affirming pastor's perspective on the conference will evangelicals handle LGBTQ+ affirmation eventually the way they deal with divorce today a Side B perspective on Stanley's sermon "slippery slopes" F...
