Friday Dec 10, 2021
Friday Dec 10, 2021
This week, Chris and Rich respond to objections raised to Chris' article "Should We Platform Survivors to End Abuse in The Church?" Some readers questioned if the article sought to silence victims, if the Bible was truly the best source to treat trauma, and who is the church platforming? Chris and Rich seek to answer the objections biblically and with grace in a topic that can often be controversial.

Victimhood Sells: Attacking Scripture Through the Hermeneutic of Abuse
Friday Nov 19, 2021
Friday Nov 19, 2021
In a podcast crossover event, Nathaniel Jolly and Ekkie Tepsupornchai of the Truth Be Known Podcast join Chris this week. Christian doctrine continues to come under attack under the guise of advocating for victims and survivors of abuse and oppression. But do these doctrines really lead to the abuse as is so often claimed? Are advocates throwing out Scripture in their efforts to draw concern to victimhood in evangelicalism? These two pastors encourage Christians to stand firm in the Word and not to be swayed by those whose identity can often be found more in trauma than in the Savior.
