“I’m still praying about that.” “I’m waiting to hear what God wants me to do?” Have you or a friend used these answers when putting off a difficult decision? Or maybe it was when you were faced with a path you didn’t want to go down? Patrick and Pastor David take on the question of how we know we’re trying to walk in faith and when we’re trying to avoid a decision we don’t want to make.

For generations, women have formed the central structure of the Christian Church. Even when they were being kept out of the pulpit or positions of authority, they were the ones who were called upon to feed, heal, clothe, and care for the community at large. The Church would not be what it is today without the bravery of those women who came before us who refused to be silenced and claimed their rightful place in the Body of Christ. But new research shows that younger women are leaving organized churches in record numbers. What might this mean for the future of God’s Church on earth? And what should we be trying to do about it?

Conflict is all around us but as Christians we are often timid about addressing the real issues. In the name of “politeness” or even “Christian love” we bury our feelings and never take steps necessary to change a situation for the better. This practice, well-intentioned as it may be, keeps us from experiencing the genuine freedom of addressing conflict head on, through Jesus’ love, in order to build a healthier and stronger body of Christ (and a safer world for each of us).

The Catholic Church grieves the death of Pope Francis and is preparing for the conclave which will elect a new pope. And though it may not seem like your faith is directly impacted by the Catholic Church’s decision, it is undeniable that any Pope’s words have lasting impact on political, social, and spiritual conversations. So, today the Beyond Sunday team is remembering a few of Pope Francis’ teachings and reflecting on how they align with our values at the values of Jesus.

Back in the 1500’s, a guy named Martin Luther got pretty upset at the Catholic Church for selling indulgences - a piece of paper that, for a price, got you or a loved one in to heaven. Five hundred years later, it looks like indulgences are getting repackaged by a new type of church. The Prosperity Gospel movement has been gathering steam and now a prominent pastor has the ear of the President. How should Christians respond to this teaching and what does it mean for our faith today?
