In this episode we talk to two of our own pastors. We ask them about what we should think of the ministry, books and teaching of those - such as Ravi Zacharias - who have had a very public and shameful fall from grace. Should we burn all their books and try out hardest to forget any of the teachings that have been impactful, or should we give them the benefit of the doubt?
We consider if ever we should offer opinions on public allegations of abuse, whether we really should support parachurch organisations (we also accurately define what these are), and the Cats nail the art of asking 16 small questions and try to pass them off as 1.
We take the opportunity to try and get to know our pastors a bit better and hit them with a classic Plumbline quickfire.
We mention recent events at a local church to us, Crowded House and you can read the full Thirtyone:eight report here.
