Challenging Conversations Edifi Podcast Network

With the power to entertain, educate, and connect, media has undeniably become an integral part of our children's lives. The constant barrage of notifications, comparison culture, and addictive nature of social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and even depression. If you're struggling to find ways to reduce device usage in your home, welcome to this episode of Challenging Conversations. Today, we'll be exploring five devastating ways in which media is shaping our children and what you can do to reverse the trend.

Throughout history, science and religion have often been framed as adversaries locked in an enduring conflict. This portrayal implies that believing in God necessitates a rejection of rational thinking, setting it against the principles of scientific inquiry. Is that really true? Is the Christian faith simply blind allegiance to what we cannot know? In this episode, we will explore how faith and science can coexist and even enhance each other despite operating in distinct realms.

Are you aware that there is a firestorm of controversy going around the internet saying the use of a certain phrase is considered antisemitic? In this episode of Challenging Conversations, we will explore a contentious issue that is making headlines and causing divisions across the nation. It concerns the phrase, “Christ is king.”However, we must ask ourselves if the controversy surrounding "Christ is King” is truly about the words themselves or if there are deeper issues at play.

Today's episode will address a relevant and sometimes troubling issue in the church – deconstructing one's faith. We will explore what deconstruction truly means and how Christians can navigate this journey while growing in their faith. Our special guests for this episode are Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett, two voices who bring insight and wisdom to this problematic and often disturbing topic of deconstruction. 

There are times when life throws challenges at us, leaving us feeling down, anxious, or stuck. As believers, these struggles can get intertwined with our faith. We often hear messages of joy and victory, but what happens when our reality feels more like isolated darkness and we have no motivation todo anything? This raises an important question: Can a Christian suffer from depression or another mental illness and still be considered a Christian?

Today, we're diving deep into a topic that's both intriguing and vital to our democracy: Do states have the power under the Constitution to prevent anyone from running for President? It's a question that strikes at the heart of our electoral system and the rights of the American people to choose their leader. Find out why this matters to you and our way of life as a free society.
