Religion Shouldn’t Hurt?
If you follow or survey any progressive Christian website, social media account, or youtube page, you’ve likely read the slogan “Religion shouldn’t hurt”. Maybe it was a hashtag, a topic, or just the name of an organization, but you’ve seen it. Normally you will hear it in conjunction with someone’s story of church trauma orContinue Reading
Two Philosophers, One Conclusion
The question of God’s existence is archaic and probably will be for the foreseeable future. Everyone has pondered if there is a god out there. Dozens of philosophers have staked their positions, some are firm while others remain agnostic.

My Journey From Molinism To Reformed Theology
Honestly, Molinism is a beautiful framework to understand God’s sovereignty. It’s a view that holds fast to the sovereignty of God but also allows for free-will of His creatures. Molinism posits that God, in knowing all possible worlds of free-willed creatures’ decisions, chooses to actualize one of those worlds. Deeply rooted in philosophy, it canContinue Reading
There Is No Christian Position For Abortion
Evangelicals might be taken back by the pro-choice position of Progressive Christianity. Indeed, the conversation is difficult when it’s with someone in the church who uses a similar moral framework. Scripture is thrown around, presuppositions are questioned, and long-held beliefs are challenged. The pro-choice position mostly concludes in either of two ways; the Bible teachesContinue Reading
Making Room For Doubt
Does anyone else feel like you’ve watched more people walk away from faith in the last 2 years than at any other time?

by Sam Stoddard It has been said that faith is a journey and not a destination. While the intention of this sentiment is true, the language of it can be misleading. Allow me to clarify my intentions concerning it. When I use this axiom, I do not, in any way, mean to suggest that thereContinue Reading
General Revelation and What About Those That Have Not Heard of God?
I have recently discovered a love for hunting. If you know me this may seem crazy, but I really like being out in the woods with my dad, brother, and my rifle. This past weekend I went hog hunting with my dad. We got to drive and be in the most beautiful land and justContinue Reading
Learning To Talk Not Yell: 3 Ways to Talk to Progressive Christians
I remember sitting in the pews of churches hearing the pastor talk about ideas like homosexuality and liberal Christianity that I was going to meet in college. I remember being warned against their ideas and that they were the enemy, powers of darkness. I don’t think my pastor’s purpose was to make me look atContinue Reading
