• A Muslim, A Humanist, and a Christian Sit Under a Tree - Can They Agree?
    Oct 8 2023

    Keith Giles, a self-proclaimed "heretic" and former Evangelical; Dr. Safi Kaskas, a devout Muslim; Gregory T. Smith, an ex-Southern Baptist Pastor whose journey led him to explore Neopaganism and Taoism; Matthew DiStefano, a book publisher dwelling in the realm that lies between Christianity and secular humanism; and Caleb, a practicing Bahá'í.
    What common threads of belief connect these diverse individuals? And how do they navigate disagreements while fostering an attitude of openness towards people with differing perspectives and beliefs? Together, they engage in a candid examination and confrontation of the beliefs that have historically served as barriers to coexistence, thereby promoting a deeper understanding of the human experience among those who hail from and identify with different religious and cultural groups.

  • Hillsong Should (NOT) Pay Tax | Can We Change Your Mind?
    Jul 30 2023

    Konrad goes toe to toe with an ex-Christian Atheist named Will, who creates content critiquing the Christian worldview. Alice tries to convert a Christian lobbyist named Chris from the Australian Christian Lobby.

    We discuss:
    Arguments FOR churches paying taxes:

    • Separation of religious organizations from other non-profits.
    • Churches should be held accountable and have a more complicated tax system.
    • Financial transparency is necessary to ensure money is spent appropriately.
    • False counseling services and lack of regulation are concerning.
    • Churches should be taxed like businesses to ensure accountability.

    Arguments AGAINST churches paying taxes:

    • Complexity of church structures makes it impractical to tax them.
    • Keeping churches tax-exempt helps to keep them out of politics.
    • Churches provide valuable services like non-government healthcare and counseling.
    • Mega churches should be held accountable, but not all churches are the same.
    • The right to engage in politics is justified if supported by people who pay taxes.

    PLUS super ep content! 
    Konrad and Alice drop their filters and share their honest thoughts about being triggered by Chris from the ACL.
