E54: What Complementarianism REALLY Is - Wes McAdams
Thursday Jun 17, 2021
Thursday Jun 17, 2021
Wes McAdams returns to the podcast for a wonderful conversation in which Kevin, Lee, and Wes discuss what Complementarianism is, and more importantly what it is NOT.
Often times, the complementarian view is stated to be one that subjugates women beneath men, that the complementarian view is misogynistic and is a product of a bygone era. But is that REALLY a fair representation of the Complementarian position? You won't want to miss this episode!!

Thursday Jun 10, 2021
Thursday Jun 10, 2021
Dr. Alan Baggett joins Kevin and Lee for a conversation about biases. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has a bias (or two, or three...) to overcome when engaging with the scriptures, with other people, or even with their own worldview. Recognizing and overcoming those biases is crucial to continued growth in Christ and in love for neighbor.

E47: The Holy Spirit, pt 1 - Brandon Johnson
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
The Holy Spirit? What is it? Is 'it' an it? Is the Holy Spirit a He? A force? A person? How does the Holy Spirit work? What does He do, and how does He do it?
These questions have been asked, answered, debated, and argued over for 2,000 years. We don't pretend to have an answer to every question about the Holy Spirit or His work, but we do know that He is involved in the life of a believer in some way.
In this short series, Brandon Johnson returns to walk us through what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit, and how the Holy Spirit can work in and enrich the life of every believer.Have questions? Concerns? Suggestions? Send em to us! exploringfaithpursuinggrace@gmail.com is the best way to reach us.Thanks for listening!

What does it mean to Explore Faith?
Everyone has a belief system. We believe what we believe in large part because of what we've been taught by our parents, grandparents, pastors, and faith leaders.
But what happens when our inherited belief systems no longer serve us? What happens when our faith divides rather than unites, causes strife instead of peace, and brings angst and anxiety in place of freedom and joy?
Kevin Pendergrass and Lee Grant found themselves asking these questions and began the process of exploring their belief systems in search of something better than what had been handed down to them. In their exploration of their faith, they found a God that loves all, whose grace is far bigger than they could have ever imagined.
