Hosts Joshua Noel and TJ (Tiberius Juan) Blackwell host another ROUND TABLE! This time we are discussing the biggest and most dangerous traps the Church might fall for today. We look at times and situations where we have seen churches fall before, as well as symptoms of a toxic church. We discuss what might lead a local church away from its true mission and how we can prevent ourselves from falling for these very dangers. Joining this Round Table discussion is Joe Dea of "Buddy Walk with Jesus", Christian Ashley of "Let Nothing Move You", and Elizabeth Clyde of "Systematic Geekology" and "The Clyde's".
.
What are the signs of a toxic church? What are the three challenges to the church? What does it mean to be church hurt? What causes church hurt? What is an example of toxic leadership? What are the signs of a toxic leader? What leads to toxic leadership? What is the goal of religious nationalism? Is the United States considered a Christian nation? What is the Christian view of nationalism? What are the effects of Christian nationalism? What is accountability in Christianity? What God says about accountability? What does ecumenical mean in Christianity? What is ecumenical accountability?
.
In this episode, we wrestle with ideas like:
- How to prevent toxic leadership in our churches
- Why Christian nationalism is so dangerous
- Why it is important to discuss sin in our churches
- What are examples of good and bad warnings from the church
- How to keep ourselves, our leaders, and our churches accountable

How can the Church challenge polarization?
August 2, 2023
•50m
Have you noticed how polarized our culture has become both in and out of the church? Joshua Noel interviews Fr Aaron Wessman, author of "The Church's Mission in a Polarized World" and vicar general and director of formation for the Glenmary Home Missioners (glenmary.org). He has a PhD from the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium in systematic theology, and is a guest lecturer at St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology.
.
What is polarization in simple terms? What is polarization in society? What does polarization mean in politics? What is polarization in psychology? What is polarization in ecclesiology? Have you lost contact family, friends, or other loved ones over cultural issues? Do you feel strained in your relationships at Church? How can we heal from division in our culture? Is the Church functioning as an agent of division or unity?
.
In this episode, we explore:
- How polarization has impacted our whole society
- How Catholic and Protestant believers can learn from each other
- The purpose of missioners in the Catholic Church
- What sets the Glenmary community different from other Catholic groups
