    05/04/2023 Duration: 01h05min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) What is with the weird fixation some people seem to have on the violence of Jesus’s death? I guess it is supposed to be very moving, but people talking about in gory detail just weirds me out. Am I missing something? (18:30-34:37) How do I identify the line between someone asking me to do something and trying to manipulate me? (34:40-46:09) I feel like I hear the same Easter sermons and readings every year. Is there any detail or aspect of the Easter story that you particularly like? (46:15-01:00:45)

  • 561- Christin Nonsense ™

    29/03/2023 Duration: 01h02min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) I have heard people say that having joy is different than feeling happy, but I just don’t get what that difference is actually supposed to be. Is there something sinful about making something happen in your life? Is that not “waiting on the Lord”? Is it wrong to want an apology before forgiving someone? I don’t feel good about letting someone back into my life if they won’t admit what they did wrong. Closing Song: The Old Rugged Cross (Jed Brewer)

  • 560- I Expected Nothing and I’m Still Let Down

    22/03/2023 Duration: 58min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) How are we supposed to think about things God does that would be immoral or sinful if a person did them? A commandment is “though shalt not kill” but God flooded the whole earth and sent plagues. (15:37-29:50) A Gospel Coaltion post about why you should go to church. How bad can that be? Let's find out! https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnCj7jLSA5/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= (29:53-49:58) When people talk about “traditional gender roles” it always weirds me out. Am I being judgmental, or is this just a preference? Does it coming up in a church context make it different? (50:02-55:31) Closing Song: Psalm 27:10 (The Poolhouse Guru)

  • 559 - The Sluggard

    15/03/2023 Duration: 53min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) Whenever I stop doing something, not even quitting necessarily, I get this guilt like I am doing something wrong. How do I get over that? (22:35-31:50) We check in on televangelists Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis. It goes about as well as expected. (31:52-37:42) I feel like my brain always goes to the worst possible scenario. It’s exhausting. How do I get better at not doing that? (37:46-50:45) Closing Song: Greater Is He (Jed Brewer)

  • 558- Positive, Encouraging, Skynet

    08/03/2023 Duration: 55min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) What do you guys make of the whole “revival” thing in Kentucky? (21:31-32:16) Submitted for the approval of the midnight society...a disgraced megachurch pastor sitting by a fire pit spouting nonsense. (32:23-40:59) Mark 11:24 Jesus says, “whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” I know the “name it, claim it” stuff isn’t how God works…so what does that mean? (41:03-52:14) Closing Song: Shepherd (Lee Younger)

  • 557- I’m Giving Up For Lent

    01/03/2023 Duration: 01h02min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) Sometimes, when people are talking about something they did wrong, part of explanation is “that’s not who I really am.” It feels very Christian to say that, but also if we’re all sinful…it kind of is, right? Is that an actual explanation? (18:50-34:56) How do you know when someone is overspiritualizing something? I hear people talk very churchy or write stuff online and they way they put seems like…a lot for what they are talking about. But is that just me being judgmental? (35:08-50:12)  So John 12:47-48 says “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.” What does that mean - Jesus doesn’t judge me, but God does? Aren’t they the same? (50:15-59:20) Closing Song: Micah 6:8 (The Poolhouse Guru)

  • 556- Louie, Louicifer

    22/02/2023 Duration: 01h01min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) People were talking about how the Grammy’s and Super Bowl halftime show were “satanic.” Are people being serious with that? Why are people so weird about this stuff? (14:10-31:11) Bonus thematic relevant emergency! (31:16-42:05) https://relevantmagazine.com/current/buzzworthy/priest-who-temporarily-died-says-he-went-to-hell-and-they-play-rihannas-music-to-torture-people/ How would you define woke ? Is it a term as a Christian we should be associated with? I’ve heard different definitions and even some have suggested quite dark origins of the phrase so I’m really unsure whether it’s something I should use or relate to? Thanks! (42:10-57:34) Closing Song: Don't Chas Shadows (Lee Younger)

  • How Great Is Our Fonz

    08/02/2023 Duration: 01h04min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)  I’m just getting to the point in my life where I make enough money to have savings. How do I know how to balance saving with giving? (19:24-37:01) The Bible says “Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.” The idea of “believing God” struck me. Is that different from believing in God? How do I do it more? (37:04-50:02) I have heard people talk about what “Guarding your heart” doesn’t mean (purity culture, watching secular movies, etc). But what does it actually mean? (50:05-1:01:13) Closing Song: You Have Better (Jed Brewer)

  • 554- The Pope Says Wrap It Up

    01/02/2023 Duration: 01h07min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)  How do I know Im doing something wise? How do I really know when I have found wisdom to apply to my life? (17:41-32:22) Can you guys recommend some books about theology for someone who is new to it? (32:26-48:41) When something awful is in the news, on social media, etc. I sometimes want to just not think about it anymore. Is that okay? Like, I know these things are serious and facing the truth of things is important, but it feels like a lot sometimes. (48:45-1:03:09) Closing Song: A Mighty Fortress (Pete Lawson)

  • 553- Your Utmost For Our Minimum

    25/01/2023 Duration: 01h01min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask Once again, the emergencies are coming faster than we can deal with them. Billboards, job postings, the worst venue for an altar call, a new low in Christian parody songs, and more! Closing Song: Amazing Grace (Glenn Kaiser)

  • 552- Passion of The Christ: 2 Raised 2 Risen

    18/01/2023 Duration: 01h02min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com bridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) I have been thinking about the idea of “bearing fruit”. It seems like it’s just a Christiany way to say “be busy and accomplish a lot”. Am I missing something? (15:47-30:28) A famous pastor recently said online that the most important thing a Christian can do is read the whole Bible repeatedly. Honestly, I get a little tired of the Bible sometimes. Is that okay? (30:32-48:21) Romans 2:5 says that because of stubborn you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath. That sounds bad. What can I do about that? (48:24-59:09) Closing Song: 2 Corinthians 3:17 (The Poolhouse Guru)

  • 551- Dr Feelgood, Heal Thyself

    12/01/2023 Duration: 01h01min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask Is "being intentional" really an important thing? Or is it another Christian cliche? (18:43-32:54) I know we are not supposed to judge other people’s salvation. But there are also clearly people who claim the title of “Christian” who don’t line up with the teachings of Jesus at all. What are we supposed to do with that? (32:57-46:31) Sometimes in the gospels, when Jesus heals someone, He tells them to tell people- like their village or the temple officials. Other times He tells them to keep it a secret. I can’t see a pattern in why it is one or the other. What is going on here? (46:36-57:38) Closing Song: No One Like You (Lee Younger)

  • 550- The Bowl Osteen, Brought To You By Crest White Strips

    04/01/2023 Duration: 01h01s

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask People say the new year is a good time for a fresh start. That sounds good to me, but I don’t really know how to do it. (17:13-31:17) 2022 was a rough year, and it took a lot of me. How do I actually make 2023 better? (31:21-41:21) How can I healthily manage stress? Just reminding myself “God’s got this” has not really lead to much peace. (41:26-56:31) Closing Song: I Am New (Jed Brewer)

  • 549- 2022: The Year in Christian Nonsense

    28/12/2022 Duration: 54min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) We take a look at a megachurch Christmas program that brings together the Grinch and Thriller, the most misguided LinkedIn message of the year and all the other wackiness that Christian culture had to offer in 2022.   Closing Song: Always, Always, Always (Jed Brewer)

  • 548- How Dank Thou Art

    22/12/2022 Duration: 01h10min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) I did something that would hurt my partner if they found out, And I don’t know how they would react. I feel guilty not telling them. What should I do? (18:58-38:04) People talk a lot about not taking Christmas seriously enough. I get that it isn’t about commercialization, but how “serious” am I supposed to be being here? (38:07-54:56) There was so much talk about the “Proverbs 31 woman” in purity culture stuff. It’s hard to look at that chapter without all that stuff on it. What does it really mean? (54:59-1:06:42) Closing Song: O Holy Night (The Poolhouse Guru)

  • 547- Simply Having A Conflicted Christmas Time

    13/12/2022 Duration: 58min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) This week, Matt read an article about "Secular Calvinists" and, since he has to know that's a thing, now so do you! (00:10-17:45) I don’t know how I feel about Christmas. Growing up it wasn’t my favorite time and it hasn’t gotten better. I see that there could be a lot of positive stuff about the holiday, but I can’t seem to connect to it. Is there a way to reset my Christmas feelings? (18:01-33:06) How do you support and love someone who is going through a hard time but is clearly not ready to make any big changes? I love them and they aren’t like being hostile to me, they just aren’t done with whatever phase they are in yet. (33:10-45:39) In 1 John 3:1- it says “The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”  Does that still apply when Christianity has been the biggest world religion for 2,000 years? (45:42-55:10) Closing Song: What Child Is This? (Jed Brewer)

  • 546- Render Unto Caesars

    06/12/2022 Duration: 01h08min

    Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous) When someone reappears after a scandal and there is a backlash, it seems like people talk about how there is “unforgiveness” or “lack of grace because people are mad. If someone behaved in a way that hurt someone else- can I even forgive them. Am I under some requirement to forgive public figures because I am Christian? (21:53-39:08) What responsibility do I have to call out prejudice when I see it. If I see someone I know post something online, can I just block them, or should send a message to point out there error first? It feels like people are getting comfortable throwing stuff out there lately. (39:12-54:43) Special bonus emergency!  A truly bonkers Christmas service: https://twitter.com/reachjulieroys/status/1599068764674265089?s=20&t=EAP6VjnFQvHtBZuB0WWBJw (54:49-1:04:34) Closing Song: I Heard The Bells (Lee Younger)

  • 545- Rent the (Not so) Perfect Christian Boyfriend

    30/11/2022 Duration: 01h11min

    This week we take an emergency look at a business seeking to rent out the perfect Christian boyfriend. And, in a rare instance, come up with an improvement! As a spouse in such a situation, how can you support the partner that has lost interest in sex? I am discouraged, but I don’t want to pressure them either. (21:08-40:08)   I have different political views than my parents. I know that, they know that. It’s whatever. The part that drives me crazy is not them disagreeing with me or thinking I’m wrong, it’s when they imply or flat out say that I only believe what I do because I was brainwashed or that “I’ll figure it out when I’m older”. I don’t know why, but that really bothers me and I don’t know how to say anything or if I even should. Help? (40:42-57:45)   I was reading the part of the gospels with John the Baptist recently. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to take from it. I get that he prepared the way for Jesus and was important. But I don’t know what I am supposed to do with any of this? (57:48-1
