Christianity is Morally Bankrupt (Politically)
When it comes to politics, why is it that Christianity seems to lack empathy? Jesus came to show love to the widow, orphan, prostitute, tax collector, the outsider, the marginalised and oppressed... Why cant I see any of these values in any of the policies represented by major Christian political parties and figures, and why is it that Christians seem to vote against their own moral code?

Afraid of the Mirror - Australian Christian Lobby
Episode 19
Afraid of the Mirror - Australian Christian Lobby
We attempt to understand someone who Identifies as 'pro-life' and spends their Saturdays door knocking in 'key electorates' for the Australian Christian Lobby... However no one want's to talk? In this episode we get asked to leave a 'pro-life' meet up, and our quest to understand a politically active Christian is denied. Are they afraid of the metaphorical 'mirror' that asking questions holds up to their face? or are members of the Australian Christian Lobby truly the abused and oppressed minority victimised for standing by their moral compass in a quickly morally devolving world? With no one willing to speak with us and answer our questions, sadly all we have are assumptions made from being locked on the outside. We are hoping to correct our assumptions soon by opening a conversation in person, to anyone willing to step beyond their "tribe", and categories and meet the good heart of humanity we believe everyone holds.

Hillsong Should (NOT) Pay Tax | Can We Change Your Mind?
Konrad goes toe to toe with an ex-Christian Atheist named Will, who creates content critiquing the Christian worldview. Alice tries to convert a Christian lobbyist named Chris from the Australian Christian Lobby. We discuss: Arguments FOR churches paying taxes: Separation of religious organizations from other non-profits. Churches should be held accountable and have a more complicated tax system. Financial transparency is necessary to ensure money is spent appropriately. False counseling services and lack of regulation are concerning. Churches should be taxed like businesses to ensure accountability. Arguments AGAINST churches paying taxes: Complexity of church structures makes it impractical to tax them. Keeping churches tax-exempt helps to keep them out of politics. Churches provide valuable services like non-government healthcare and counseling. Mega churches should be held accountable, but not all churches are the same. The right to engage in politics is justified if supported by people who pay taxes. PLUS super ep content! Konrad and Alice drop their filters and share their honest thoughts about being triggered by Chris from the ACL.

A Muslim, A Humanist, and a Christian Sit Under a Tree - Can They Agree?
Keith Giles, a self-proclaimed "heretic" and former Evangelical; Dr. Safi Kaskas, a devout Muslim; Gregory T. Smith, an ex-Southern Baptist Pastor whose journey led him to explore Neopaganism and Taoism; Matthew DiStefano, a book publisher dwelling in the realm that lies between Christianity and secular humanism; and Caleb, a practicing Bahá'í. What common threads of belief connect these diverse individuals? And how do they navigate disagreements while fostering an attitude of openness towards people with differing perspectives and beliefs? Together, they engage in a candid examination and confrontation of the beliefs that have historically served as barriers to coexistence, thereby promoting a deeper understanding of the human experience among those who hail from and identify with different religious and cultural groups.
