Ep 67 - How Should a Christian Vote? (Interview with Robert Raynor)

With the election coming up everyone seems to be asking the question: "Can the Christian vote for ___?". We interview a friend of the show, Robert Raynor, who discusses his faith, politics, and Donald Trump. Listen to dive into this interesting interview!

Ep 66 - Darwinism Leads to Racism

Will gets into 2 dicey topics in this episode, racism and evolution. He breaks down how the idea of "Survival of the Fittest" and "Macro Evolution" when brought to their logical conclusion promote and conclude what we see today as racism. We ask the question if you are to do whatever you need to do allow for your gene pool to survive, why would you avoid racism and aggression towards those different than you.

Ep 63 - The Christian and Black Lives Matter - Part 3 (The Movement)

Will gets into the data and the numbers being used to promulgate the "movement" of BLM. This is the 3rd and final video of address BLM and how it affects society, culture, and Christianity.

Ep 65 - Interview with Nathan Cravatt of The Recovering Fundamentalist Podcast

We had our second guest from the Recovering Fundamentalist Podcast, Nathan Cravatt. We discuss how he came to Christ, the IFB churches he grew up in, how their podcast came to be, and how he is seeking to create unity in the Church.

Ep 62 - From IFB Pastor to Non-Denominational - Interview with Justin Spurgin

Justin Spurgin comes on the split to talk about is very recent exit from the IFB, both as a movement and as a pastor. He talks about what led him to this change, the IFB, Calvinism, Crown College, the help of Christian Podcast like the Recovering Fundamental Podcast, and where he's going next. This 3rd installment of our "Breaking Baptist Edition" cuts to the heart of how people who leave the IFB perceive it and how they don't leave the fundamentals of the faith even if they are no longer an Independent Fundamental Baptist.

Ep 61 - The Christian and "Cuties"

Will addresses a very hot topic in our culture, the new Netflix movie "Cuties" and the controversy surrounding it. He discusses how the Christian should handle this movie and a recent interaction Will had will a Christian theologian that was defending this movie, the imagery, and its content based on the movie's "context". Will breaks down 3 points as to why a Christian cannot defend this movie.

Ep 60 - Split This: Abortion, God is Grey, The DATA

Will and Brian discuss the research and data they had pulled together for the God is Grey interview back in May.  This is an informal discussion as part of the "Split This" series to share our data, our conclusions, and responses to arguments made by the Pro-Abortion crowd.

Ep 59 - Unity in Diversity: What is Reformed Arminianism?

In the first of our Unity in Diversity series we welcome David Pallmann of the Faith Because of Reason podcast on The Church Split. David does a deep dive what Reformed Arminianism and how it differs from Calvinism and Wesleyan systematic theology. This is the first of many deep dive theology lessons to give our listeners a broad approach to Christian doctrine to help find unity in truth!

Ep 58 - Baptism: By Water or by Spirit?

We revisit a topic we had covered before with some corrections. We explore the root of baptism is Jewish culture, why John baptized Jesus, and the difference between water baptism and spirit baptism. This is a topic that has probably split the most churches so much as becoming the literal name of several denominations.

Ep 57 - The Christian and Black Lives Matter - Part 2 (The Organization)

In part 2 of our 3 part series, we address if Christians should support the organization named Black Lives Matter founded by Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi. We review how their own claim of being "Marxists" adds light to the statements on their website, their values, and their goals. We address how anti-Christian Marxism is and what this means for Christians support of the BLM organization itself.
