Episode Synopsis

As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we begin looking at chapter 13, the church. Some thought prompts for discussion: There is no such thing as a green pyramid and a red arc world.  (Note: For reference, you can about  God's Green Arc versus the Red Pyramid world of human invention in the given links.)  What is the church? How could church be seen as a medical model? What about a boat model?  How has it historically been viewed as a battleship, and then a cruise ship?  What is a helpful model for us to use now? How does one effectively kill the church? What should the public confession of faith look like?
