Episode 251: The Importance in Defining your Terminology

Standard

In this episode, Micah discusses a pastor who takes time to define the kind of church they are regarding the LGBTQ community and being a biblical church. Scott brings up the importance of defining terms so that visitors and congregants can understand and follow what a specific church believes and make an informed decision on whether this is the kind of church culture they would like to be a part of.

183: The Church of God & Church of God Affirm

Standard

On May 26th, The Church of God (Anderson, IN) put out a post detailing that all official COG correspondence will come from official emails and social media sites and to not be swayed by any other groups claiming to be the Church of God. This vague post leads to speculation and the publicity of Church of God Affirm – people who are/were associated with The Church of God (Anderson, IN), calling on the leadership to affirm LGBTQIA Christians.

In this episode, Scott, Micah, and guest Jordan Halstead discuss who COG Affirm is, did the weak communication from The Church of God, gives more publicity to this group (and others), and what COG does now moving forward (if anything).
