Dr Tremper Longman III joins us once more to discuss the books of Exodus and Job in the Bible. We talk about the biggest debates about each book, whether the events of these books are historical or not, and whether it matters if these events truly happened or not. How does our reading of the Bible change if these events did or did not occur? How important is the story of Exodus to the story of salvation? Is Ha-Satan in Job the devil?

In preparation for our upcoming series on Church Offices, we ask Lutheran Pastor, Will Rose, and home church leader, Joseph Dea, about the merits of institutional church in a modern context. Is it possible to have religion but not organized religion? Does liturgical worship stifle the movement of the Spirit? Do home churches lack accountability and leadership? How should the Church be organized and how can the organization of the Church, or lack thereof, contribute to overall Church unity? .

We are joined by Dr Russell D. Moore in this episode to discuss his transition from serving as president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the public-policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), and at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, as dean of the School of Theology, to now serving as director of Christianity Today's Public Theology Project. We discuss how we can disagree with others in the Church without losing unity and how transitioning into new ministries does not need to create any divisions. Dr Moore also discusses the meaning of unity and the usefulness of Church creeds. .

Kristin Kobes Du Mez is the author of "Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation" and professor of  History, Gender Studies, Urban Studies at Calvin University.

We ask if it possible to rectify with those factions that have become militarized and if we can still have Church Unity. She also talks about why white evangelicals have come to support leaders in the Church like Mark Driscoll at Mars Hill and political leaders like President Donald Trump. .

We discuss the importance that the Barna Group plays in the whole Church today. Alyce Youngblood, Vice President of Editorial for the Barna Group joins us to discuss what they do and how seeing the numbers and data behind the variety of beliefs in the Church can help us find commonalities and come together for the first tier issues more easily. We ask her what areas the Church most agreed with one another, most disagreed, and what areas she found most surprising in their research. We discuss everything from the Church's view on CRT (Critical Race Theory), to salvation, to the beliefs Gen Z shares! .

The Israel people have had a complicated relationship with the Church. Many still think of "Jesus" as a curse word. We talk to Dr Seth Postell, the academic dean of the Israel College of the Bible, about his relationship with the Church as a Jewish believer in Jesus who grew up in a Jewish home. We ask about the unique problems this part of the Church faces, how we can see Jesus in Moses' writings, and how the Church can best support our brothers and sisters in Israel. .
