Real Talk Christian Podcast
Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller are real Christians having real conversations on faith, culture, and society. Real Talk Christian Podcast started as a local church teaching ministry to provide biblical answers to the world that Christians find themselves in, but the podcast quickly grew to global ministry. Here, you’ll find conversations around theological topics, practical living, and stories from Christians who are striving to have real conversations around both everyday and difficult conversations. Each episode is designed to feel like you’re sitting down with two of your favorite friends. Generally, the first 15-20 minutes of each show is full of laughs, banter, and fun conversations before jumping into the episode’s content. This is designed to help you feel connected with the hosts, bring joy to your life, and provide great answers to your questions.

Many churches follow the mottos of "we want to be a church that unsaved people love to attend" and "before you believe, you belong with us." Is this the correct mindset to have, and what is the ultimate purpose of the Sunday Morning worship service/experience? We look at what the church is, what the church isn't, and is it such a bad idea to create worship experiences that unsaved people enjoy? Marc and Chris have some different opinions on this topic, so we hope you enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Marc and Chris talk about a sensitive topic: what to do when the church hurts you – whether it's the church leadership or people who attend the same church as you. They open up about how the church has hurt them, and Marc even gives the "other side" of the equation of when the church hurts one of their pastors. We hope and pray that this conversation will resonate with you and help you handle those hard relationships that you may have.

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Marc and Chris talk all about Thanksgiving and Black Friday....primarily, Black Friday. Black Friday is known as the day to get all the deals, but should a Christian participate in Black Friday? Does Black Friday prove that we actually are not content with what we have? Where did Black Friday even begin? Join us as we dive into these questions and much more on this episode of RTC!

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Chris continues his conversation with Paul Lindgren. In part 2 of their conversation, Paul peels back the layers of his affair — his emotions, his struggles, his pain, his fight. Paul also talks about those friends in his life that reached out to Paul in his sin, and how people who love you are there to guide you to the everlasting truth of God.

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Chris has a conversation with Paul Lindgreen. Paul is a musician (our podcast's intro music was written and produce by Paul) and one of Chris' best friends. Paul has been on both sides of the conversation when it comes to marital affairs – he had his own affair, came back together with his wife, and then she had an affair on him. Today's conversation is just part 1 of this conversation, but this episode deals primarily with his steps towards him having an affair. We hope that this will help you see the signs and learn some truths about making sure you fight for your own relationship when the time is right.

On this episode of Real Talk Christian, we have a three-way conversation between Marc, Chris, and our friend Brandon Saucier. All three of these guys have different views on how Christians should handle Halloween and if our families should take part in the festivities. And each view goes against the other in some way, shape, or form. We pray this conversation will help you and your family understand this cultural holiday, and how you should handle this holiday. Buckle up!
