Faith Debate: April 28th, 2024
Departure: Story of a Deconstructed Faith
A pastor in suburban Chicago resigned from position in a very high-profile way. In his extensive online comments he complains about the pressures faced by men of the cloth. In making his case, does Alexander Lang expose himself as someone who lacks a biblical worldview, and therefore reveal that he has a faulty view of the pastorate and the church?

So-Called Christian Movies and TV Shows
There are dangers to allowing theological liberalism to creep into the church. This sometimes happens through cultural influence when saints let down their guard. For instance, it occurs even via undiscerning exposure to highly celebrated “Christian entertainment” like: “The Chosen”, “Nefarious”, “Jesus Revolution”, “Sound of Freedom”, and “Little Demon”.

Political Views/Experiences from an Alliance Defending Freedom Perspective
Dan Cox was elected in 2018 and 2020 to serve in the Maryland House of Delegates. In 2022 he was the Republican nominee for Governor. In 2024 he is seeking to be elected to the United States House of Representatives.
During this episode of The Faith Debate the focus is primarily on politics. Having supported men such as Ronald Reagan, Alan Keyes, Roscoe Bartlett, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump, what’s it like for Dan to run against other GOPers? Also, if fraud runs rampant, why should conservative Christians even vote?

Sundays 9AM to 9:30AM
The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth. Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”. In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another. The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.
In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most. We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding. And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty. So, that’s what you get here. A safe haven for honesty. We share what we hold to be true and why. Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out. Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings. At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
