Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This week tackles the following questions:

(2:32 into episode)

Feb 23- In church, and since the start of lent, we have been talking about hunger - both literally and figuratively. Is there anything in the Bible that discusses the issue of excess (specifically in terms of weight) and having a relationship with god? (I.e. is it a sin to be fat / indulge in excess)?

(12:09 into episode)

Feb 25- I understand what it means to love the Lord, my God with all my heart and all my mind, but what does it mean to love with all my soul?

(28:54 into episode)

Feb 27- I don’t know if this has been asked before, as I am a newer listener: What is your personal and biblical opinion on spanking your children?

As a newer parent, spankings have never felt right to me. I grew up with Christians quoting Proverbs 13 as a reason why we should spank our children. I have recently heard the argument that sparing the rod is more in the context of a shepherds rod and not spanking. That we are to shepherd our children. (Teaching and modelling behaviours, correcting, protecting and disciplining). What are your thoughts?
