Last month on the Q&R Podcast, we tackled one of the loudest narratives in our culture: this idea of my truth vs. your truth. In Episode 4, we aim to build on that by engaging the question “Aren’t all religions the same?”

In recent years, our culture has moved away from organized religion, and this question is getting asked more frequently. As we’ll learn, part of the problem is that many people are not familiar with what the world’s holy books actually have to say.

In this episode, we attempt to uncover the truth, while embodying a posture of curiosity. We start by unpacking what unites all religions before moving on to where they divide, and specifically how the case for Christianity stacks up against other faith traditions.

In Episode 3 of the Q&R Podcast, we tackle perhaps the hottest topic in today's culture: my truth vs. your truth. In recent years, it's become almost offensive to claim that there is an objective truth, which touches many important areas of life like religion, sexuality and gender.

In this conversation, we discuss how to navigate a challenging cultural landscape and the importance of curiosity and humility in expressing what you believe to be true.

In Episode 2 of the Q+R Podcast, we tackle one of the most pressing questions of our day: how could God allow suffering? This isn't just a philosophical question, but a personal one, because all of us will experience some form of suffering in our lives. When we are in pain or grief or loss, at times we can't fathom how a good God could allow such a thing to happen.

In this conversation, we tackle every aspect of this question. We discuss the philosophical answer, the emotional component to this question, and alternative theories to the Christian view of suffering.
