The guys are back, and this time they’re talking about “assimilation.” We know some of our Reformed friends push back on the concept of assimilation, or at least think it’s an overstated need. But Joe and jimmy think it matters for church health. Joe defines assimilation as “the process of becoming a healthy part of a local church.” How is assimilation related to the mission of the church? What does it mean for assimilation to be a structural aspect of disciple-making in the church? And what are the principles and practices that come together to create the assimilation process of Redeemer Fellowship?

Masculinity with Paul Maxwell
The guys have Dr. Paul Maxwell in to talk about his perspective on masculinity. This conversation not only shows how complicated the issue of masculinity is, but also provides a helpful way to think through it in some fresh ways. Why is masculinity and femininity so controversial? Can we differentiate between the two in meaningful ways? This is deep stuff, so be sure to read his article or watch his video on The Crisis of Masculinity in a Postmodern Age. Go deep with Paul at his website, Selfwire, where Paul engages modern intellectual issues from a conservative Christian perspective. Be sure to subscribe to the Selfwire Podcast and his Youtube channel. You can also get fit with Paul at the Theofit website and podcast. And while you’re at it, check out Paul’s book, Pious Irreverence, published under his weird pseudonym, “Dov Weiss.” SPONSOR Trace the Themes is a free Bible study by pastor Spence Shelton that will help you trace the themes of Scripture as they unfold from Genesis to Revelation.
