We got some interesting feedback regarding a poll we took on Facebook and Twitter: "Truth matters more than people. Yes? No? Sometimes?" We talk about it.

Matthew Distefano joins us! We talk about "dabbling" in atheism, Christian universalism, what being LGBT affirming means to him, marijuana, what following Christ looks like for him practically & more. Plus, we get caught up on listener feedback.

In the first part of a one part series we discuss a blog post outlining the five steps of de-conversion that Jen Hatmaker, Rob Bell, Pete Enns and others allegedly utilize. We're of split opinions (per usual).

Zack read a guest piece by Mark Karris (4 Reasons Why Prayer is Ineffective, Harmful, and Makes a Good God Look Really Bad) on the All Set Free blog at Patheos. His interest piqued, he invited Mark on.

Jon joins us and gets personal, raw & dare I say, real on growing up poor and in an abusive environment. The type of environment that can make or break a person.

Jeff is "doing church" again in his public school classroom. Zack wonders (and Scott doesn't) why the early church didn't threaten people with hell. And Zack reviews a book: "Seven Stories: How To Study And Teach The Non-Violent Bible"

If someone you love and trust suggests that you look into/read/listen, but you've previously been warned against said thing by leadership at your church, would you look into/read/listen? A conversation about certainty, doubt & authority and the like.

Hillary McBride joins the BBB to share a bit of her story, how she was helped through her eating disorder and how she helps people. Its a great conversation. Check out her book "Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are"

Adam C. English join us to talk about the real St. Nick!

Ever been consumed with the idea that God has something specific for you to do with your life but you don't know what? Most christians go through a version of that at some point. It seems our own Scott "Da Scoot" Hulbert finds himself there right now.
