Pacifism: Not Just For Whackos?
With Tanner away, Jack decides to gang up on Dave with two of his good friends, Chris and Josh. The nice part about being ganged up on by pacifists is that you can beat them up easily, so Dave winds up just fine.

Should North American Christians stop putting their focus internationally, and invest in our home turf? All these questions and more, with no guarantee of answers forthcoming!

Should We Follow the Billy Graham Rule?

With Dave away this week, Jackson and Tanner talk with their former Bible School professor Elly Krogman about what impact the Rule might be having in our churches today.

Storing Up Bible Bucks in Heaven
This episode we enter the murky world of "heavenly rewards": the idea that based on our good deeds, some of us are gonna get (in Dave's words) Lamborghinis in heaven while others are gonna be stuck with old junkers. Spoiler alert: none of us understand this topic at all.
