2021/05/30

What can we say about this episode? Sometimes you just need to argue about hotdogs for 20 minutes. We also went long on our second topic, what it does and doesn't mean to "not cause a brother to stumble," so it's just two topics this time, but we had a great time and hope you do too! *Also, if you listen to this week's episode and read these notes the week it drops, get ready for an incredible show and the best giveaway we've done yet, next week!

First of all, thank you so much for helping us make it to Episode 50! We love doing the podcast and it's been great to hear about those of you who have been encouraged, challenged, and edified by the show. We wanted to make sure we did something special for our 50th episode and we're really pleased with what we came up with. If you've been listening to The Substance for a while, you'll know that Trevor and Philip enjoy and find benefit in the Enneagram and Vincent is a bit skeptical. So to do

49: Substantive Cinema | Minari feat. Brett McCracken

The Substance ·

2021/05/16

Buy/Rent Minari on iTunes With over 200 nominations for various awards (and over 100 wins), Minari was one of the most buzzed about films of 2020. But due to Covid protocols and many filmgoers not wanting to attend a theater in a pandemic, it went sadly very under-watched last year. But the film is widely available now and we're excited to have Brett McCracken back with us to talk about it! In Minari, writer/director Lee Isaac Chung tells the semi autobiographical story of a Korean family who

Got a special one for you all with this show! We've had Jesse Eubanks on the podcast before and one of our previous Reflects shows was on the Enneagram. This week, we're bringing them both back! Our previous episode on the Enneagram was more about how Christians should think about it and what ways it might be beneficial. This time, with Jesse's help, we wanted to get more into what it actually is. Jesse is the Founder an Executive Director of the urban missions agency Love Thy Neighborhood, the host

We recorded this one when we were all incredibly busy so we went informal and asked you guys what you wanted to hear us talk about. All three of us took turns answering questions from the listeners on topics like: How did we name our podcast? What are some of our favorite episodes we've done? Who are our dream guests on The Substance? What books would we recommend to everyone? And we talk about some of our favorite media (movies, television, podcasts) as well.

2021/04/25

We haven't done a full show on politics since we relaunched with Episode 13 but after reading Kaitlyn's book we thought it was time to revisit the subject! Similarly to our approach before, the goal of this episode is not to promote partisan ideologies and platforms but rather to encourage genuine reflection about how, as followers of Christ, we think and engage politically. Definitions are knocked out toward the beginning of the show for the major topics we cover, primarily: Liturgy & Spiritual

The Substance ·

2021/04/18

This one has been a long time coming! The topic of abortion is extremely divisive, and sometimes that's fine. But as believers we want to make sure that we're thinking critically and biblically about the issue rather than farming out our thinking to political and social figureheads. What do the majority of women think about abortion? What are the factors that make it more likely for a woman to consider getting an abortion? What can be done holistically to de-incentivize abortion throughout our

“We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.” (Romans 6:9–12 ESV) Happy Easter from the Substance! The tomb is empty, Jesus has defeated death and his kingdom is coming. In this

2021/03/28

Today's episode is dedicated to all who cling to Jesus' promise that in him, "you will find rest for your soul." May you find soul rest this week. This week Trev, Vince and Philip's three topics all center around experiencing the gentleness of Christ, and how the church deals with the emotional life of believers. We flow from talking about a recent scathing review of ACBC's Biblical Counseling book of the year, Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund, to talking about what the Bible says about Anger, and

2021/03/21

We are right around the corner from the release of the 36th feature film in the Godzilla franchise with Godzilla vs. Kong coming out on Wednesday, March 31st. It's not a movie that you may immediately think of as something that is substantive, but the roots of the character and the original film are full of meaning and social commentary. While Godzilla certainly is a spectacle film, it touches on some very important themes. Most notably the film challenges its audience to consider things such as:

40: The Substance Reflects | Systemic Racism

The Substance ·

2021/03/14

We're finally here. Whether it's clearly articulated or not, the topic of this episode is at the heart of so many of our modern conflicts, inside and outside of the Church. And to a degree, it's simple. The notion of systemic racism is either true or untrue. If we can find no correlation of the claims of systemic racism to reality, then we must reject it. However, if we investigate the claims of those who say that systemic racism is at the core of so many of our societal ills and find them to be

Barnabas Piper is an author, speaker, Assistant Pastor at Immanuel Nashville, and co host of The Happy Rant podcast. He's also one of the most fun guests we've had on the show! We cover a number of important topics relating to curiosity and creativity, the role of doubt in the life of a believer, the fear of culture that characterizes too many people of faith, parenting from a position that truly trusts in God, and the pitfalls of legalism.
