455 | Joel Burns | Question Everything with Joel Burns

On this episode: Aaron is missing someone to feed him grapes. Nate is home in Mount pleasant.This week, Nate and Aaron interview Joel Burns. Joel is a blogger and musician who is not a minister or college educated. He writes about and questions the journey of Christian manhood. Joel is a self professed skeptic and critic who helps ask why and leads others to question “church culture” and compare it to what the Bible actually says. Joel talks about lots of “myths” in the church that are dispensed as biblical or from God and are simply best wishes or preferences of someone. He encourages us ask questions and lead with “I think” instead of “this is what you have to do”. The guys also discuss and embracing humility in talking to others, especially when there are differing opinions. And Aaron finishes higher than he started.LInk: Warrior PriestMay 4-7, 2025 Sarah Society Annual Retreat June 6-8, 2025 Samson Canadian Retreat Sept. 12-14, 2025 Austrian Retreat Nov 7-9, 2025 Santa Fe, NM Samson Summit Nov 7-9, 2025 The Wild & Sacred Journey, Womens RetreatSponsor: Life Works CounselingIf you have thoughts or questions and you’d like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to [email protected].The music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.For more information on this ministry, please visit samsonsociety.com.
