THE UN-SILENT CHURCH

  • Summary

  • The church was established as a society of people representing the person, work and character of Jesus; his voice to the powerful and the powerless, his presence with insiders and outsiders, and his identity as the representation of God, the reconciler of all things, and the savior and redeemer of the world. Regrettably, the church has also garnered a reputation as being silent on issues where we should’ve spoken, and being complicit among the pain for which we should have helped heal, resist and taken a stand. The church needs access points that reflect God’s true point of view about certain issues in a way that demonstrates a relational, informed and compassionate response to the things happening in our world today. Our hope is to be among the list of podcasts Christians subscribe to because of our multi-ethinic, biblically-faithful, and culturally-accurate voice on the issues people care about most.

  • What would Jesus do with ChatGPT?

    What would Jesus do with ChatGPT?
    Nov 19 2024
    In this episode of the Unsilent Church Podcast, we're continuing the practice of wrestling with important topics that impact the lives we and so many around us live. In this episode we wrestle with the inevitability of AI in preaching, along with one NBA player's decision to "give up basketball for full-time ministry." What would Jesus do with ChatGPT? Would OpenAI have come up with the Sermon on the Mount? And if given the option, do you need to choose between the NBA and full-time ministry? Is it not possible to do both? We wrestle with this and more on this episode of the Unsilent Church Podcast. Enjoy!

  • Does Goodness equal Godliness?

    Does Goodness equal Godliness?
    Oct 16 2024
    In this episode of the UNSILENT Church, we address a number of issues, starting with the misconception of being a "good" Christian. In the early days when followers of Jesus were first called "Christians," it was because their actions were much clearer than those who did not follow the way. Today, is it still as easy to spot a Christian in the wild, simply by the good things they do or the kind things they say? Moreover, we also talk about the rise of megachurches, and with that, "Celebrity Christianity." Maybe more than ever before, followers of Jesus are amassing huge followings on the internet, but to an unfortunately high degree, many are falling into scandal. And it seems not to be missing very many? What does that say about the temptation that come from the authority innate within leading people? Are too many people becoming teachers and preachers? We talk about these and other issues in this episode of the Unsilent Church. Enjoy!
