The World’s Still Ending; At Least There’s Good TV

January 13, 2021 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

In the Season 3 premiere of the Your Sunday Drive podcast, we talk about the mass of issues related to the events at the Capitol in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021.

Protesting vs. rioting. Similarities and differences to BLM. Trump’s culpability. The role of Christian nationalism. Cancel culture, deplatforming and free speech. The continued siloing of media and cultural echo chambers. Is there a “third way” and what’s the role of Christian faith?

Then we change gears to discuss current favorite TV shows, Cobra Kai in particular, and why engaging pop culture at a time such as ours may be vitally important.

Come along for Your Sunday Drive – quick conversation about current events, politics, pop culture and more, from the perspective of a couple of guys trying to follow Jesus.

Hosts: Matt Hill and Nate Polzin. Presented by the Church in Drive of Saginaw, MI, as often as possible. Please visit churchindrive.com and facebook.com/thechurchindrive

Progressive Christianity? Fall Entertainment Preview

September 14, 2020 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

What is progressive Christianity and how is it different from more “traditional” forms? Is it dangerous? What positives does it have to offer?

We discuss the pros and cons – referencing authors such as Alisa Childers, Pete Enns and Andy Stanley – and how to navigate the related issues.

It’s the fall, which means new shows, fall sports and plenty more in the world of entertainment.

We talk about what we’re into and what we’re looking forward to – including Lovecraft Country, The Vow, The Boys, Utopia, the PS5, NFL and college sports, The Gifted, The Last Kingdom and Dune – and share some perspective on entertainment in general, thanks to our collective boy, C.S. Lewis 🙂

Life at a Distance

August 18, 2020 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

Mandy Polzin and Rob Shade join us for a roundtable discussion about our post-pandemic, more-distanced lives.

Questions include: How are we experiencing doing work, school, church and life-in-general more remote, digital and online? What are the pros and cons of technologies like Zoom? Is there some sense in which church specifically needs to be physically present and in-person? What does the pandemic teach us about what humans are like? What perspective can our faith give us?

Also, FYI, Laura was not mad about Matt’s bad joke. She says “I’ll talk about hairstyles anytime you want 😀”

Christian Rebels? The Pandemic & Pop Culture Nostalgia

May 15, 2020 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

your sunday drive podcast

Mid-pandemic, with many questioning and resisting government authorities and policies, we ask: Can Christians be rebels? Are there biblical and/or historic church models for us to follow, such as Jesus and the apostles, the prophets, American civil rights leaders?

Many are more immersed in pop culture currently than ever before – particularly in nostalgia for old shows, movies, etc. What are the positives and negatives of nostalgia? How does it relate to spiritual matters and to the “Christian rebels” topic?

All this and more (! 🙂 ) in this episode of the Your Sunday Drive Podcast.

The evolving Coronavirus situation is making for surreal times and serious questions:

How should we understand all the different ways people are responding? What is the wisest approach? What is this moment revealing about us? What does the Bible have to say for times like these? As we practice social distancing, how can we spend our time? Perhaps most importantly, what shows should we watch and why? 🙂

OK Boomer & Epstein; Memes, Conspiracy Thinking, Faith

November 19, 2019 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

Your Sunday Drive Podcast Episode 21: This Week in Memes.

In this episode, we examine the current “OK Boomer” meme, inter-generational conflict and positives/negatives of the line of thinking behind this particular meme.

We then discuss the “Epstein didn’t kill himself” meme, conspiracy thinking, conspiracy theories and the potentially darker side of how memes can evolve, ending up with some surprising connections to the faith and a call to action to “look into it” when it comes to how we approach the world.

How can Christians “keep it real” and avoid the “Christian crazy?”

In this episode of the Your Sunday Drive podcast, we try to discover what it means to have an authentic faith in these times, welcoming our second-ever guest, Stuart Delony, host of the Snarky Faith radio show and podcast.

Stuart tells us about his faith journey, we discuss some of the unfortunate ways Christians are currently seen in our culture and how we might temper that, as well as “Snarky faith” and why it’s important to have.
