Ep 67: Rules that Break God’s People

The Finchers take questions from their audience starting off with this one about the differences between expectations and rules and laws. Hang onto your seats as Dale and Jonalyn tease apart these ideas and show how many good-sounding laws are breaking the backs of good people. 
The question from a listener we cover in this episode: “Is making a rule or law that is morally good ever wrong? Is there a distinction when having expectations, rules and laws in different spaces? i.e. between family or community groups, such as schools or clubs or neighborhoods and larger communities such as countries? And then of course, God.”

Ep 66: Troubleshooting Adult Friendships

With some exciting snacks to give this episode a true laid-back flair, the Finchers explain why kids make friends quicker than adults. They share how they’ve found adult friendships to work. Two favorite lines, “We get everything we need from God but he’s not everything we need.” And “You don’t have to be sad that friendships are gone, you can be glad they happened.”

Ep 65: When Politicians Misuse Scripture

The Finchers unpack the phrase, “My brother’s keeper,” which has been used by politicians, pastors, and influencers--from local parishes to presidents like Obama--to justify a range of political and social actions. Listen to understand why this phrase, originating from the Bible's first murderer, is poor reason for any policy. Favorite line: “This verse has been used to justify control over things that don’t belong to us.”

Ep 62: Am I Judgmental?

What does it mean to be "judgmental"? How can we keep from this smug attitude of superiority? Dale and Jonalyn parse how many different ways this word is used, both positive and negative. You'll find this helpful for your conversations. Favorite line: "Calling someone judgmental allows the immoral person to take the moral high ground."

Ep 60: Evangelism - The Art of Inviting Others into Your Life

The Finchers explain why “evangelism” has become the toilet cleaning chore for the average Christian who want walk in God's freedom. They discuss the book they've written on this topic: "Coffee Shop Conversations: Making the Most of Spiritual Small Talk." They share horrible stories of their own failures and why “evangelism” needs to be refreshed for most Christians and re-centered on the Biblical story. Favorite line: “Shame and blame conversions have no staying power.”
