Homosexuals & Evangelicals - The Internet Monk on SBE

Erik May 9th, 2008

The Internet Monk, Michael Spencer, joins us on Steve Brown Etc. this week to talk about gays, lesbians and evangelicals. Use one of the options below to listen.

When homosexuals listen to evangelicals, what do they hear? One friend of mine suggested that we sound like the teacher from the Peanuts cartoons, "Wa wah wa. Wah wa wa wah." But much of the time, our words are far more caustic. Join us as we discuss the subject in the context of Michael's insightful and controversial piece, What do Gays and Lesbians Hear?.

Michael Spencer is a popular blogger, podcaster and self-described post-evangelical. Go to InternetMonk.com for his regular posts and podcasts. Also, visit The Guest Room for his piece, Jesus Watches Your Church Ad.

Michael has been blogging since 2000. He has a master's degree in Theology, is currently a campus minister living in a Christian community in southeastern Kentucky, and has been a teacher in churches and schools for more than 30 years.

The Blood - Kevin Max on SBE

Erik May 2nd, 2008

What happens when you take "the black sheep of dc Talk" and put him on the same show with an old, cynical preacher of grace? Join Kevin Max and Steve Brown on this week's SBE to find out. Use one of the options below to listen.

Max has a new album out called The Blood that explores his gospel roots and features collaborations with Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Joanne Cash and a dcTalk reunion with Kevin and former band members TobyMac and Michael Tait (they cover the Prince tune The Cross).
