This week Rubie and Dave talk about their doubts about Church. Why they don't go, What they miss and why do they feel guilty about not going.
This week Rubie and Dave discuss their doubts about Hell. Does it exist, was it a metaphor and have we used the concept to scare people into religion. What the hell is up with hell.
This week Rubie and Dave tackle their doubts about Sin. It is real, do we all sin or is it just another way of making us all feel crap.
Rubie and Dave discuss their doubts about Evangelism and get a little wound up along the way.
Money, money, money, must be funny... in a Christian’s world. If the bible says it’s almost impossible for a wealthy man to get into heaven, than what does that mean for Christians with money? Rubie and Dave discuss their own dilemmas with making money and challenge those listening to do the same.
Rubie and Dave respond to the Australian Christian Lobby’s take on the Black Lives Matter movement and come to terms with their claim any support of this movement is “anti-Christ”.
Trigger warning: This episode will bug you if you’re sexist. This week Boo and Papsmear address why they occasionally refer to God as a “she”. Does God have a gender? How does the concept of a masculine God impact the church? Dave asks Rubie if he is sexist and Rubie gives an honest answer. Then they both issue you with a God-related challenge for the week, so let’s hope she’s listening.
Rubie and Dave tackle the doubt they have long had about Christians and Politics. Is there such a thing as a Christian World View and Christian Political Parties.
Dear God, what on earth is the point of prayer? This week Dave and Rubie untangle the topic of prayer and ask what the purpose of it even is? Does God really say “yes” and “no” to our prayers? Why would God choose to wave that magic prayer-answering wand in some situations and not others? Well as usual, Boo and Papsmear suggest we may need to rethink the whole thing!
Why do you believe in God? Well Rubie’s not always sure but Dave has a few ideas. This week, Father-Daughter duo, Boo and Papsmear are asked who God is to them, discuss what people mean when they talk about glorifying God and question whether God blesses us with hot wives and convenient parking spaces.
Rubie and Dave break down their first “doubt” sent in by a listener. Do we really need to take the bible seriously? Is it okay to pick and choose the bits we like? Is it really “God Breathed” (whatever that means)? And as usual, Rubie rants a lot and Dave throws in some controversial gems.
