1. on Chelsea doing the FINANCES: He says “How can I be in the dark when you KEEP me in the dark?” How’s that for a big reveal? Nothing like telling the whole world who holds the purse strings.

2. on SEX: Judah says “Jesus is bringing sexy back” (gag! what a statement) when plugging his upcoming 7-week series on sex in February. As if Mark Driscoll and Ed Young aren’t doing enough to invade their congregants’ bedrooms, now Judah wants to get in on the action? Why do these pastors think people want them invading their sex lives?

You know what’s funny – Wendell and Gini used to haggle over the stage when they visited CCC sometimes. I remember him getting really annoyed with her butting in! She’d step in at times and take away the whole thing while he sat off to the side with body language that revealed oh so much.

Like father, like son. I think JP nails it when he says Judah loves Judah, the stage, and then Chelsea.

You know, with so many youth pastors coppin’ the Clark Kent look, why aren’t their wives coppin’ Lois Lane? Preferably Teri Hatcher to Margo Kidder …

To us it’s vexing to listen past the 4 minutes, but to them the hour was over like 5 minutes. You could almost hear a collective sigh at the end.

I listened to 5 minutes the other day just to see what Cat was talking about – but today came back to give it a listen after I read the comment section! of course, I have 5 other windows open, working on a project – it’s the only way!

If people over 40 feel needed there, why did the question come up. Obviously someone is feeling pushed aside and overlooked.

I think it’s the idea that birth control may not help a person abstain from premarital sex. And secondly, birth control does two things: 1, prevent ovalation. 2, in case if a egg sneaks out and is fertilized by a sperm, the pills thicken the cervical mucus so that the fertilized cell won’t implant. Some people consider that as a type of potential abortion and hesitant to use birth control pills. They may use condoms or other forms.

And about that quote: “the main thing leaders should be ‘called out for’ is publically attacking the authenticity of another’s ministry.”

… where did that come from? When I read the Scriptures, I see leaders being “called out” for two things: Leading people astray with bad teaching and mistreating those in their care.

From Wikipedia:

“Intellectual honesty is an applied method of problem solving in academia, characterized by an unbiased, honest attitude, which can be demonstrated in a number of different ways:

References are acknowledged where possible, and plagiarism is avoided”

I dare say evangelical Christianity is replete with intellectual dishonesty, according to the definition above.
