The Church Today: dealing with religious Trauma

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie explore the realities of religious trauma and spiritual abuse—how they manifest, their lasting impact, and why so many have been hurt by the very place meant to offer healing. We discuss how the church has too often been a source of harm rather than refuge and what it truly means to be a place of restoration and grace. What does a Christ-centered response to spiritual abuse look like? Join us as we engage in an honest, compassionate conversation about pain, faith, and the hope for a healthier, more redemptive church.

Artemis, Women pastors (2 Tim 2), and Ephesians with Sandra Glahn

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie interview NT scholar Sandra Glahn to discuss her book Nobody's Mother. Sandra argues that understanding the historical, archaeological, and inscriptional evidence relating to Artemis provides a critical backdrop to Paul's letter to Timothy and his exhortation that wives should not be teaching their husbands because Adam was made first and Eve sinned first, and to the book of Ephesians.

Galatians Part 7: The Fruit of the Spirit and the Deeds of the Flesh

Rob and Vinnie dive into Galatians 5, exploring the contrast between the deeds of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. They discuss how Paul’s list of sinful behaviors was meant to be viewed collectively rather than as isolated wrongs, challenging the Galatians' sense of superiority over others. Paul’s emphasis on the fruit of the Spirit wasn’t about rigid moralism but about the freedom found in Christ. But what does it truly mean to live by the Spirit and bear its fruit? Rob and Vinnie break down each aspect of this passage, offering practical insights on how the Church today can embody Spirit-led living

Galatians Part 6: The Fruit of the Spirit (part 1)

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie discuss Galatians 5 and the Fruit of the Spirit. They address questions such as: "What if I stumble and live according to the deeds of the Flesh?: "Doesn't it say that if we live according to the flesh we will not inherit the kingdom?"

And what a performance it was--very (un)forgettable.
