The honest take on anger, why "nice Christian man" isn't a thing, what the Greek word "porneia" actually means, and why every academic gymnastic move trying to soften scripture eventually lands in the same place: I just don't want to obey it.

Transcribe →Toxic Masculinity Doesn't Exist in Christianity | Episode 13
Apr 2201:43:40Tap to summarizeEpisode 13. Pastor Jason Parrish is joined by Pastor Howie Smith and John Rowa -- and they went long. Two big conversations: what real repentance looks like (hint: it's not the same as saying sorry), and why the West keeps trying to build the Tower of Babel with better tools. Along the way: toxic masculinity, the Amish, Solzhenitsyn's commencement address at Harvard, why your marriage wasn't built to make you happy, and what actually needs to change if we want to rebuild anything worth having.

Apr 1601:24:42Tap to summarizeEpisode 12. A dozen in.

It all connects — we promise. This week Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa unpack identity vs. identification, what repentance actually means, and why compassion and truth aren't opposites.

Transcribe →What Happens to People Who Never Hear About Jesus? | Episode 11
Apr 701:15:33Tap to summarizeFair warning: this one gets uncomfortable fast. Pastor Jason Parrish is joined by Pastor Howie Smith and John Rowa as the guys dig into what the Bible actually says about people who've never heard the gospel — plus the man in white appearing to Muslims in dreams, Penn & Teller on why Christians who don't evangelize are actually the cruel ones, and why universalism sounds compassionate but falls apart under scripture.
