Bryne and JR. investigate the recent spate of scandals in the Evangelical world concerning sexual abuse. From the Duggars to Tony Jones to the Village Church, we ask why religions tend to blame victims and what our response should look like.
The StoryMen talk recent films and books, then move into a question on all our minds lately: who is the Christian worship space for? Christians? Non-Christians? How can we design worship spaces that are meaningful to people who aren’t comfortable inside the Church?

JR. lives in Dallas, TX with his wife Amanda. In addition to exploring the wonders that are the Lone Star state, JR. is the teaching pastor at Catalyst Community Church, a writer and blogger. His book, Empathy for the Devil, is available from InterVarsity Press. He's haunted by the Batman, who is in turn haunted by the myth of redemptive violence.
The topics are exciting! I look forward to listening.
I was quite curious to where you were heading with this show title (I am still listening as I type this). This is something that my cousin and I have talked about, as he has spent the last 35 years traveling the 10/40 window and developing world where church looks much different than it does in the West, specifically the USA.
I think that tradition is great, but as I am finding with my own family it should be used as a guide and not the rule that is never deviated from.
