128: Is Deconstruction A Bad Thing?
Thursday Jan 27, 2022
Thursday Jan 27, 2022
Deconstructing Faith, the process of tearing down what you believe to find the truth in your belief system, is it safe though? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller talk about this theology that is sweeping through the Progressive Christianity culture. With so many people that are leaving the faith due to deconstruction, the real question that needs to be answered is "Is Deconstruction a bad thing?". Please listen in to hear your hosts discuss definitions, people, and reasons that people deconstruct their faith.

126: Classic Replay, Speaking the Truth in Love
Thursday Jan 13, 2022
Thursday Jan 13, 2022
In this episode, we go back into the archives once again to one of Fuller's favorite conversations: Speaking the Truth in Love. In the Bible, we read that Jesus came full of grace and truth, but how are we as Christians supposed to emulate that . . . especially when we have to confront someone.
In this episode, Marc and Fuller talk about what it means to speak the truth in love from a Biblical perspective and then present a few ways that we can make sure that we lead with love when having conversations with both fellow believers and those who don't follow Jesus.

122: Finding God in the Difficult Times: An Interview with Jess Ronne
Thursday Dec 16, 2021
Thursday Dec 16, 2021
Have you ever gone through life wondering, "where is God in all of this mess, and is he still good?" We know we have, and our guest on today's show definitely has as well!
Today, we are excited to share an interview with Jess Ronne. In this interview, we talk about how she lost her husband and the grief that came as a result, how she is raising her special needs son (along with her other 7 children), how she has blended two families to become one, and how she watched God show up and work in the mess of her life.
Jess Ronne is an author, speaker, podcast host, CEO of The Lucas Project, caregiver advocate, and mom of 8. You’ll often find her chatting about faith, grief, food, simplicity, blended families, gardening, special needs, clean living, and everything else in between. Jess has 2 books, “Blended with Grit and Grace” and “ Sunlight Burning at Midnight," with a third book in the works!
We hope that through this episode, you see the goodness of God, and trust that even if you're in the middle of the mess, that He will show up and take care of you.

121: Why Mega Church Pastors Fall
Thursday Dec 09, 2021
Thursday Dec 09, 2021
It seems like so many mega church pastors keep failing and falling from ministry. With the popularity of Christianity Today’s new podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, people are starting to ask if mega churches and mega church pastors are truly biblical and if they do more damage than good.
In this episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller talk about why Mega Church pastors fall and if Mega Churches are the only places where pastors fall from ministry. Rather than stick to the gossip, they take the conversation one step farther to ask, "why do pastors fall and can that happen to anyone?"
We trust you enjoy this conversation!

120: Christians & Guns
Thursday Dec 02, 2021
Thursday Dec 02, 2021
It seems like many Protestant, evangelical Christians now a days are all about the 2nd amendment and the ability to own firearms for self defense, but how should Christians in America think about gun ownership and usage? Should we fight for our rights or fight to live in a gun free world? To take the conversation one step father, when you get to other parts of the world, Christians are asking why Americans seem so obsessed with guns. So what should Christians do?
In this conversation, Marc and Fuller take a listener's question about guns and seek to find a Biblical answer to this question. In doing such, they look at the struggle that lies between fighting for our American rights while also following the Biblical mandate to die to ourselves. We know you'll enjoy this one!
