First Reconnect July Fourth Special!  Andy discusses the concept of “Christian Freedom” with Pastor Samwise Praetorius (Samuel Schuldheisz) by addressing the eucatastrophes of fairy stories and the Gospel connections that can be made with rock songs.  They both share their top three favorite rock songs to use for sharing the Gospel. If you don’t know how that’s possible, you need to give this episode a listen.

How does Hinduism compare to Christianity?  Do they have any similarities?  What about their differences?  Two bright high school seniors (that graduated a few days after this recording) from Crean Lutheran High School tackle these questions as Andy leads them through a free Contradict Movement discussion guide.

Andy found a bumper sticker at a New Age trinket shop in Ashville, NC.  The sticker reads, “There are in the end three things that shall last, faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love.”  This statement comes from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:13 to be precise.  However, the sticker has no citation to the Bible verse, AND faith, hope, and love are spelled using various religious symbols.  What do the makers of this sticker intend to convey stripping the Bible citation and incorporating all of these religious symbols?  Andy has created a discussion guide for this episode. He uses this guide to discuss this sticker with two of his high school students. One of the students has a very original analogy to share concerning club entrance and eternal salvation too.  Enjoy!
