We continue our mini-series exploring violence of the Old Testament with creator of The Bible Project, Tim Mackie. The Bible Project has taken the internet by storm with easy and short explanations of the Bible's most fascinating stories.  In this mini series, we have tried to offer challenging and insightful views from multiple personalities. Tim is no exception, bringing attention to the Hebrew texts that Jesus himself most likely referenced during his time.  We appreciate Tim's grace, finesse, and creativity in how he chooses to present the beauty of Jesus.

This week we welcome special guest Matt Carter of the Bad Christian Podcast. There have been a number of podcast episodes where Matt, Toby, and Joey discuss the overwhelming shortcomings of the modern church. While we agree with many of the opinions expressed from Matt, we wanted to hear more from his opinions about what could make it better and really try to understand the future potential for the "Mega Church". Matt also hosts the Break it Down Podcast and acts as Director and oversees Business development across Bad Christian's multiple divisions.

VOX Questions - Scripture, Sinners, Women in Leadership, and is the Bible just an epic tale? 1. Thank you so much for recording this! I am understanding the importance of reading Scripture "in context" at a deeper level--with less of the blinders from my church experience. For example, this morning I read Matt 18:15-17 and realized we cannot take this as a step by step process for how to deal with sin in the church/excommunicate someone (as the church often does in my experience) without understanding the social context in which the passage was written--e.g., what were the standards for such issues at the time, and how did Jesus' instructions differ? My point in saying all that is this: What do I listen to/read along with my Bible to get that kind of crucial info? 2. Recently I saw a video clip of a well known pastor talk about the two lies that scare him the most. He says the first lie is that, "You are a good person." He references Romans 3:9-12 (which I believe comes from Ps. 14:3)as well as Ro. 3:23. Es

In the episode we take a look at moments on how and why God seems to hide.

VOX Questions - Prayer, LGBTQ, suffering, personal change, religious differences. - June 22, 2017 1. Why do you pray to Jesus when He clearly instructs us to pray to God his father? 2. Will LGBT ever receive the same grace & full inclusion in the church as people that have been divorced? It's very confusing & irritating that while divorce is very clearly against God's, Jesus' & other biblical leader's teachings; we allow them grace & fully include them in church,(which is awesome!) leadership & even allow remarriage (also a biblical no no) All the while LGBT people deeply desire to be a part of the church community yet barely are allowed to come inside & if they are, they are told they cannot be full members, share their stories publicly, married or serve in leadership. 3. If we are going to suffer our whole lives, why should we put time and energy into following God? Why not just be kind to others and distract ourselves from the pain? It's disheartening to "follow"'someone who does

Author and Pastor of Woodland Hills Church joins us this week to share about his view and on the Old Testament and the significance of Jesus' act on the cross. In our time together, Greg goes into great detail about how we can understand a God the presumably commands genocide and consider how a people carried it out. His extensive research and authorship makes way for many challenging ideas about the Bible for us to wrestle with and test. This episode is 2 of 3 conversations we have prepared with some folks who carry an educated and challenging view of the Old Testament Our hope is to hear the best of their research, ask more about it, and offer it to you an extended conversation in your faith circles for growth and process. - Mike Erre Learn more about Greg Boyd at http://www.reknew.org Learn more about the VOX Podcast: www.voxpodcast.com Subscribe on iTunes - http://apple.co/1Lla1Nj Music provided by Izzi Ray - http://www.soundcloud.com/izziray Music available on iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/u

VOX LIVE Questions - Hell, Water to Wine, What is faith? - June 15th, 2017 1. So often I have found church after church and pastor after pastor who teach and claim their own anxiety based insecurities. I understand that the Church is an imperfect system run by imperfect people to serve a perfect God and will never be complete until the second coming. However, I do not understand why there is rampant denying of the core message of Jesus; hope, love, and grace offered to all. I struggle with trusting pastors and churches because of this. How can such love be offered yet continuously erroneously conditional? How can a pastor/church claim such power in Jesus yet directly go against said power? Sorry for the rambling. 2. What are your feelings on hell? Some believe it's a place of eternal torment, but others believe it's a place of annihilation where evil ceases to exist. Some also believe it's a state of purgatory, and eventually everyone becomes reconciled with God. Do you believe in the possibility of universa

Author, speaker, and former Pastor Rob Bell joins us to answer some questions we have about the Bible. While Rob has been a controversial character among certain circles of Christianity, our hope was to capture some of his best thoughts and antidotes that best convey the conviction of his work.

LIVE Questions - Soulmates, Who does God Answer?, and Masturbation. 1 I'm am a Christian woman and in my mid thirties and have been single for a long time and the fact that I'm not married is really hard to deal with sometimes. I want to be married more than anything to take away the sting of loneliness I unfortunately have become addicted to masturbating. I'm scared to death that because of this God won't bless me with a husband. Can and will god still bless me with a godly man even if I'm struggling in this area 2. I have a boyfriend that is so self-less and has demonstrated the kind of things that you mentioned in your podcast about being the head sacrificer (?) and not giving into the stereotypical roles of the man and woman. However, he thinks that soul mates exist. He thinks that we are really good for each other and that we have helped each other become a better person, but he wants the "feeling" in his soul that we are soul mates. I don't believe in soul mates. I think that God puts people together an
