2021/01/31

We're excited to share our first Substantive Cinema of the new year with you all! Soul is the latest release from Pixar Animation Studios. At first look, it may seem like an odd premise for a film primarily targeted to a younger audience, but Soul's plot and themes are wonderful springboards for all sorts of valuable conversations. This week we're joined by Mitch Wiley and we talk about: how Christians discern value in entertainment & the arts, how our lives are enriched by the common grace all

Welcome to another edition of Topic Toss Up! This was pretty heavy as we recorded the evening of January 6th, but we're excited to share this with you and hear your thoughts. We start off with a great listener question about the death penalty, and we couldn't ignore the insurrection at the Capitol and the Church's variety of responses, and on a lighter note we round it out by talking about the books we're excited to read this year.

31: The Substance Reflects | Critical Race Theory

The Substance ·

2021/01/17

This week on The Substance we are taking an introductory look at Critical Race Theory. Lots of folks in the culture and The Church have strong opinions about it, but when a topic gets so much cultural heat, it's easy not to approach it critically and thoughtfully. On this episode we cover the history of CRT, attempt to fairly define CRT, and engage with what the Bible says about the tenets and applications of it. Biblical Support: 1) Sin and Responsibility, (Jer 31:29-30; Eze 18:1-4, 25; Jos

We've got another Topic Toss Up for you guys this week! There's a listener question following up on the topic of whether or not institutions should rename their buildings in light of a racist past, something we covered in Episode 20, the practice of "Christian Worldview Analysis," and being godly in our social media etiquette.

The Substance ·

2020/12/27

It's hard to overstate the importance of being able to discern sources and consume the news in a healthy and appropriate manner. The last few years have especially highlighted this, but there has never been a time where this was unimportant. It seems like every week there are articles, stories, tweets, etc. about matters relating to politics, economics, sociology, public health, justice systems, and more. These are all important topics and people of faith ought to be exemplary in our communities as

The Substance ·

2020/11/22

Chris Nolan’s Interstellar is an interesting film in many regards, one of them being that it’s the first Substantive Cinema episode we’ve done where we have significant disagreements on the subject matter. Interstellar was directed by Christopher Nolan and co-written by him and his brother Jonathan. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Timothée Chalamet, and Casey Affleck. The movie was released in 2014 to relatively high critical acclaim, getting fairly high

Part of why this subject is so difficult, is because “cancel culture” is such an ambiguous term. Join us as we consider what Cancel Culture is and isn’t, the benefits and challenges it has (and the whole conversation around it) for our society, and what some good goals are going forward.

2020/10/18

The enneagram has been a hot topic in recent years but it’s easy to uncritically reject or accept things that become popular. On this week’s show we look at some of the history and use of the enneagram and consider the Christian’s relationship to it. After you’ve listened (or while you’re listening!), let us know what you think. Why do you think it’s beneficial? Why might it be something that people of faith ought to be wary of? Let us know!

Right up front, we understand that “social justice” is a loaded term in Western Christian culture. The most important question though, is “Is it something that is good and honors God?” And if so, how do we pursue it in a way that’s honoring to Him? Join us as we talk with Jesse Eubanks, Founder and Executive Director of Love Thy Neighborhood, about these and more questions regarding this often misunderstood but very important part of living faithfully before God and our fellow man.
