Theology in the Raw - A podcast by Theology in the Raw

00:00 Introduction 0:48  What’s the best definition you have for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?  4:26  What was the Most compelling part of your interview with Rick Warren?  11:14  Are we certain as Rick Warren claimed that women Christians did teach or preach at Pentecost?  11:53  What are your thoughts about MLK jrs history with adulteries and why it isn't talked about more given todays metoo movement especially in the church.  16:52  Were there examples of female leadership in churches in the second and third century?  22:44  Church services often feel like a weekly event or performance and like the main way of being part of a church. How do we practically move away from this? 33:38  Might all be vegetarian in the New Heaven and New earth because creation will be restored and death will be defeated?  37:10  I just found out my wife is pregnant. Any advice for a new dad?  41:13  It's clear that sex within marriage should stay within that marriage, but where in the Bible does it say that sex before marriage is wrong?  44:52  What are your thoughts on Christians watching movies with some nudity (e.g. Oppenheimer)? Is just looking away enough or do you think they should be avoided?  48:09  I’ve heard people use the phrase “spiritual covering” in reference to pastors/churches and husbands/families. Not sure what that means or the Biblical basis.  49:13  I'm leading a small discipleship group of students at a Christian HS. Where do I start with conversations around sexuality and gender?  53:16  How strongly have you and your family considered joining a house/micro church network, and why have you not so far?  57:10  What are your thoughts on “aliens” with recent disclosures in the media and from “Babylon”? How should the Church and Christian’s be thinking about these beings  1:00:28  How do I know what is a spiritual gift versus more traits and skills related to personality type, education, or job/volunteer experience?  1:01:56  Why did the Church decide that only believers are welcome at God’s table? The feeding of the 5,000 uses similar Greek to the LS passages. Isaiah 55 - everyone?  1:04:57  Rapid fire responses… If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!  Support Theology in the Raw through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theologyintheraw Or you can support me directly through Venmo: @Preston-Sprinkle-1 Visit my personal website: https://www.prestonsprinkle.com For questions about faith, sexuality & gender: https://www.centerforfaith.com My Facebook public page: https://www.facebook.com/Preston-Sprinkle-1528559390808046/?pnref=story My Facebook private page: https://www.facebook.com/preston.sprinkle.7 Twitter: @PrestonSprinkle Instagram: preston.sprinkle Learn more about your ad choices.
