Summary

Did Protestants miss something when it comes to contraception?

What about hanging our faith on a set of very defined propositions (as opposed to actions and deep inner change)?

This episode with Jeremy Pryor and Phil Cotnoir challenges a couple of oft ignored areas of growth in the Protestant church, by hearing from a couple of influential non-Christians and reacting to some fairly accurate critiques being level against the church.

We can learn about family and faith from those on the borders of Christianity or Christian ideas...but we should also be able to frame the debate properly and not be overly influenced by liberal social experiments just because the culture seems to agree with them.

On this episode, we talk about:
