reGeneration Church's Make Life Interesting podcast presents TableTalks - a brand-new special-edition series of episodes where pastor Tracy interviews Christ-followers from a variety of backgrounds, each with unique and interesting stories to tell. In this second installment, we hear Tracy's table talk with musical artist Andy Knipp on the subject of racial justice. Andy is a part of reGeneration Church, and he brings a unique and necessary perspective on the issue. This discussion originally took place on Juneteenth, during a Sunday sermon. Although Juneteenth is primarily celebrated within the black community, Andy’s insight certainly challenged our church — and helped us understand why we should ALL (regardless of skin color or background) celebrate with them! As we continue to pursue the unity that God desires within His church, Andy has given us a great deal upon which to ponder and reflect.

Now that the Snyder Cut of Justice League is out, what are we all going to do with ourselves?! Perhaps a discussion of "cancel culture" is in order. What is cancel culture? Is it good, or is it bad, or does the truth lie somewhere in between? How does it fit with Christianity, where we are called to love and forgive? In the Season 2 premiere of Make Life Interesting, you'll get answers to all these questions and more.

If you ask Pastor Tracy, he'll tell you that the impending release of the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League is clear evidence that Jesus is preparing to come back and gather the saints. Having attended DC's Fandome event, he'll provide fresh insights on how Christians can effectively use these divisive times to be like Jesus, and be present in a world that desperately needs Him.

"Make Life Interesting" is back after a short break! In this month's episode, Pastor Tracy talks about the difference between conservative and liberal theology, as well as the ongoing racial crisis in this country (and how Christians fit into all of the madness). In a world of injustice, Christians have a scriptural obligation to decry racism. Black. Lives. Matter.

Will "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" be good? How acceptable would a mullet be in today's world? Could Thomas Rhett be a Christian? After a slew of 80s references, Pastor Tracy discusses a powerful moment at the CMA awards where Christ was lifted high, and how it shows us that though we often "leverage the holiday" season, we must use EVERY season to tell the world about Jesus.
