Podcast Pastor: Recent Episodes
Hayden Pyle
Challenging listeners to reconsider the essence of Christianity through striking descriptions, imagery, and abstract ideas that connect biblical principles to modern reality.
A conversation with a growing friend inspired this episode's discussion; it's about how the name and behavior of sunflowers are directly related to Christianity.
After a summer long of composing an original Mass, I spend some time reflecting on the current culture of worship with rising Christian artist, Milana Hainline. We discuss our musical stories, philosophies of worship, and our desires for breaking the sound barriers of worship music.
After a conversation with my scientifically inclined sister, I challenge our concept of interacting with people in terms of plowing fields and the work it takes to yield fruit in every season.
As a rising mathematician, I have become very familiar with logic, and I propose the notion that evil is quite logical with anecdotes and scriptural examples.
After listening to a very convincing and convicting Sunday school lesson at a church where I was a guest, I expound upon the Sunday school teacher's comparison of how Christians are like turtles in several ways.
How do locked doors compare to locked hearts? That is the question which frames this episode.
Winston Churchill inspired this episode with his famous speech during World War II. This episode examines how spiritual warfare should be more involved in the daily Christian life, and I propose that Christians should actively war against Satan by making him toil, cry, sweat, and bleed.
People love celebrations. In this episode, I examine Richard Foster's take on celebration from his book Celebration of Discipline, and then I spend time looking at the practice of celebration in historical and contemporary Christianity.
