But Stuff

The world has strong opinions about women, LGBTQ+ people, the environment, poverty, war, and immigration. So does the institutional Church. But what does the Bible actually say when you strip away the agendas?

Bishop Greer Godsey, Rev. Marc Trimm (MCC Augusta), and Bishop Ben Williams open Season 14 with a conversation built around one recurring question: the world says one thing, the Church has sometimes said another, but what does the text actually say?

Across six topics, the panel finds the same thing every time: the biblical witness is more radical, more inclusive, and more demanding than anyone on either side of the political divide is comfortable admitting.

Creation care is a covenant obligation. The stranger at the border is the face of Jesus. The prosperity gospel is not in the Bible. And the first proclaimers of the resurrection were women.
