Message: “Moral Licensing” from InAllThings Charity
This short-but-awesome episode is all about Moral Licensing. What is that? It’s why you’re more likely to do something bad after you’ve done something good. We talk through the implications for preaching – and how it explains why the Church of the Nazarene struggles to place female pastors, District and General Superintendents.
Since Advent is fast approaching, we talk with author Tom Fuerst about his new book Underdogs and Outsiders. The book explores the five women Matthew includes in his genealogy of Jesus (perfect since Matthew is this year's lectionary Gospel). Why did Matthew include these women, and how is it good news for us? Plus: What do you do when Christmas falls on a Sunday?
