After a horrific Hamas terrorist attack, Israel is at war. We talk about the current conflict, trying to give context for "both sides" and examining issues like: how progressives are responding in the US, the role of religion and apocalypticism, how this situation is different from others involving aggrieved people groups (civil rights movement, apartheid, etc.) and more.

Andy Stanley is causing controversy once again after his Unconditional conference, which struck many as "too affirming" on LGBTQ issues. We discuss and go deep on the broader topic, how optics and truth relate re: the faith and evangelism, whether LGBTQ issues in the church could rightly be "don't ask, don't tell," how our own views have evolved, etc.

We also do a bit of general pop culture riffing, involving Calvin & Hobbes, Metallica and the Detroit Lions : )

(The podcast Matt was thinking of that discussed C.S. Lewis' take on metaphysical gender : castbox.fm/vb/601717763 . Discussion starts around 19: )

Come along for Your Sunday Drive - quick conversation about current events, politics, pop culture and more, from the perspective of a couple of guys trying to follow Jesus.

Hosts: Matt Hill and Nate Polzin. Presented by the Church in Drive of Saginaw, MI, as often as possible. Please visit churchindrive.com and facebook.com/thechurchindrive
