190: Classic Replay:The Beauty of Good Friday

Marc and Fuller went live on Facebook via Zoom on Good Friday 2020 to talk about the beauty of Good Friday. In this episode, we talk about Jesus’ entering into Jerusalem, why the crowd went from “Hosanna” to “crucify him” in less than a week, why the Romans wanted Jesus dead, what Jesus accomplished on the cross, and why that’s import for us today.
As Protestants, we don’t need to be afraid to have a theology of the cross, and we hope that this conversations help you develop your thinking and beliefs.

In the world today, there are so many people teaching "the things of God", but they can sound different from each other. How can we know who is teaching the truth and who is not?

How do we handle differences in theology in the Christian world? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller examine what constitutes someone who is teaching truth, and what to do about those who are not. Turn up the volume, pull up a chair, and join in on the conversation.

184: Sister Wives; Does God Condone Polygamy?

"Sister Wives. If you have ever watched the TLC channel, you have probably seen this show as you were browsing around trying to find something to watch. This show follows a family from the LDS church who are fundamentalists of their faith, who also practice polygamy. They claim that "the prophet" Joseph Smith claimed that this was a given direction from "God". We see in the Old Testament that many influential members of Scripture were involved with a polygamist lifestyle as well. So dos this prove that God is ok with polygamy? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller talk about the show "Sister Wives" and look through the Bible to see if it is indeed something that God is ok with. This is a very interesting topic that you don't want to miss, so join in now to hear more about this topic.

182: How to Move On From Past Sins

Romans 3:23 says "we all sin and fall short of the glory of God", this is very well known no matter how long one has been a christian. There is something else that can come from the realization of the fact that all have sinned. Adam and Eve experienced it in the garden, shame. Once sin has happened, there are a lot of people who experience shame and guilt. The questions that are often asked are, "How can I move on past sin?" "Should I feel guilt and shame?" " How can I be forgiven?". These questions are at the forefront of many people's thoughts. So what do we do with all of this? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller discuss what the Bible says about sin, guilt, shame, and how to move past all of this in a biblical manner. Tune in for this important conversation that you don't want to miss.
