The Church Split

Ep 115 - Sermon - The First Apocalypse

Will gives a sermon on the flood and Noah and examines the effects of sin and the world's first baptism.

Ep 110 - Interview with Pastor Jason on Progressive vs. Conservative Christianity

In January 2021 we did a response to Jubilee's Progressive Christians vs. Conservative Christian panel. Pastor Jason known as "Pastor Jason Answers" on YouTube was one of our favorites from this Jubilee video and in this episode we have him on for an interview. We talk about that experience, why Progressive Christians seem to place so much value in non-biblical standards, and how Pastor Jason evangelizes Christianity as a conservative in Los Angeles.

Ep 113 - Pastor Clarence Sexton Attacks The Recovering Fundamentalists, Beards, and Tattoos!

Will responds to Pastor Clarence Sexton on Friday's Crown College Facebook Live Stream calling the RFP and those that are among that group "God Haters" and "Stupid". He also goes after those that have beards and/or tattoos. This is an out of character attack from Crown College but the slander espoused on their live stream demands a response.

Ep 108 - Rhett's Spiritual Deconstruction Becomes Racist

Rhett McLaughlin of "Rhett and Link" and the extremely popular "Good Mythical Morning" YouTube series was a Christian for many years and even worked in ministry, but in 2020 went public that he is no longer a Christian. Now in 2021, Rhett reflects on his decision to leave Christianity and in this reflection goes on the offensive against "White Evangelicals". The Church Split responds to some of his radical claims like "Racism has a very comfortable home in the white evangelical church” and “The church demonstrated that it has a spurious relationship with justice”.

Ep 109 - The history of Augustine and Pelagius and their impact on Original Sin and more!

Idol Killer is a YouTube channel run by Warren McGrew with mission of taring down the "sacred cows" of the church. A mutual listener of the Church Split and Idol Killer put us in touch with one another which led to this interview. We get into some topics that have split churches and we talk about their historic and doctrinal foundations including: Original Sin, Total Depravity, Penal Substitution, and the Problem of Evil. Warren shows the depth of research he has done on these subjects. This is definitely an echo-chamber-escaping episode!

Ep 106 - STOP Using the phrase: "Its not a sin, but Christians shouldn't do it"

We dive into one of Will's greatest Christian pet-peeves, the moral contradiction created when someone says there is something a Christian "shouldn't do" while also claiming that something isn't a sin. We jump into Matthew 5, 1 Corinthians 14, Romans 14, and Proverbs 11 to help us decipher this common Christian cliche. If this also drives you nuts, hopefully this gives you a good framework on how to respond to those that use it. If you do use this phrase, well.... trigger warning.

Ep 107 - Sermon - The First Fall

Will preaches about the fall of man, its impact on gender roles, creation, and Adam and Eve themselves. Was Eve the deceiver? How else did Adam fail?

Ep 105 - Interview with YouTuber DanielApologetics

The Church Split brings on a rising star Daniel in the Christian Apologetics realm. We discuss apologetics, evangelism, and the gospel. Daniel just started his channel last year and already has more than 2000 subscribers. He is cited often by Trinity Radio and Braxton Hunter.

Ep 104 - Interview with Angel Wilson Discussing Progressive Christianity and his Involvement with Jubilee

In our response video of the Jubilee "Progressive Christians vs. Conservative Christians" we were very impressed with the approach of Angel Wilson, one of the conservative Christians. He kept bringing Bible when asked questions, applied correct Biblical context, and approached each issue with love and compassion. We invite Angel on the channel to talk about that experience and his proclamation from the video that he has tendencies towards same-sex attraction, but holds his identity in Christ and not in his tendencies.

Ep 103 - The Church Split Joins the RFP Network

This was announced last week on the RFP Wednesday show so while the cat might be out of the bag on the announcement, we wanted to discuss what the RFP Network is. We discuss what this means for our channel/content/social media/etc. We identify what it means to both recover from Fundamentalism and how to recover fundamentalism for Christianity and God's truth.  We also discuss echo chambers and how we feel this move will exemplify what we talk about all the time, how to challenge yourself with different ideas, how to escape an echo chamber if you are in one, and how to live in accordance with the truth of God's word.
