Send us Fan Mail What makes someone a Christian? Is believing in Jesus Christ all that matters? Does the Bible give us specific parameters for what it means to be a Christian? Where do our beliefs differ from mainstream Christianity, and why do those differences matter? In this new episode of Think Responsibly, we sit down to explore these questions together. This isn't about claiming we're better than anyone else or promoting exclusivity. It's about examining what Scripture teaches, challenging our assumptions, and thoughtfully working through these questions together—with plenty of honest back-and-forth along the way!

Send us Fan Mail Created 𝘣𝘺 women, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 women within the Church of God, Stir Devotion offers thoughtful Bible study materials designed to help women dig deeper into God's Word, reflect on what they’re learning, and encourage one another along the way. In our latest CGN Podcast episode, we had such a fun conversation with founders Kami & J’Non about how Stir got started, why they saw a need for Bible study resources specifically for COG women, and what goes into creating each study! We also chat about intentionally preparing for God’s Holy Days, what they’ve learned through writing these studies, and their encouragement for women who want to grow deeper in their relationship with God through His Word. It’s a warm, fun episode—and whether you already love Stir Devotion or are just discovering it, we think you’ll really enjoy getting to know the ladies behind this great resource being created and shared within the COG community!

Send us Fan Mail This episode was born out of frustration. Frustration over things we've seen and experienced within the Church of God. But as we kept talking, the conversation began to shift inward: What is our role in creating healthier communities? Are we focused on what we can actually control—our own actions, service, attitudes, and relationship with God—or are we spending our energy angry at everyone else? In our latest podcast episode, four of us have a candid conversation about individual and collective repentance, self-awareness, and the difficult conversations we believe are worth having within the Church of God. Not to shame. Not to point fingers. But to honestly ask: Where do we need to change?

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is about religious discrimination and what happened when Dusti Howell—a tenured college professor—was challenged after taking time off for God’s Holy Days. For decades, Dusti was able to observe the Holy Days without issue. But in 2020, after returning home from the Feast of Tabernacles, he was told he could no longer take that time off without going through a new and difficult accommodation process. What began as a workplace conflict turned into a 5 year-long legal battle - one that may help shape religious freedom protections in Kansas. In this episode, Dusti shares what happened, what he’s learned, and why this matters for others in the Church of God community.

Send us Fan Mail Today we’re breaking down three things that shape almost every conversation: 1. Facts 2. Assumptions 3. Assessments They may sound similar — but they’re not the same. And confusing them can quietly distort how we think, judge situations, and pursue truth. Facts don’t come with a narrative attached. When we’re striving for truth, we have to learn how to separate what’s 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 from what’s 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 — and what’s simply assumption.

Send us Fan Mail Today we’re talking about a trap everyone falls into: the Appeal to Authority fallacy—when we assume something is true just because an “expert” (or someone influential) says it is… without actually looking at the evidence or whether they’re even qualified to speak on it. From “Trust the science” to “Don’t trust the experts,” both sides do it. And if we’re not careful, we can end up outsourcing our thinking instead of practicing discernment.
