  • To Hell With the Devil

    To Hell With the Devil
    Mar 2 2026

    Are we ignoring the most important issues of justice while fighting over trivial things? In this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike and Tim tackle the heavy reality of the Epstein files and the church's response to systemic injustice. Join us for an honest conversation about anger, accountability, and a powerful message on faith.

    ⚖️ JUSTICE AND THE EPSTEIN FILES Things get serious as Mike reads a phenomenal post by Pastor Brian Drinkwine. We dive deep into the recent news surrounding the Epstein files, the Department of Justice, and political figures.

    ⛪ THE CHURCHS RESPONSE This is a raw look at how American Christianity has become skilled at straining gnats and swallowing camels. Why do we go to war over church carpet colors but stay silent on the exploitation of the vulnerable? We discuss the heartbreak of losing trust in leaders and the challenge of Matthew 20. Jesus asks if we can drink the cup of reckoning without rushing to defend our political tribes.

    THE POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES Then, Mike and Tim explore the concept of powers and principalities, the wisdom of God versus human wisdom, and redefine what freedom in Christ truly means. The conversation is rich with personal reflections, cultural critiques, and a call to action for listeners to engage with the world around them.

  • The Opposite But Not Equal Kingdom

    The Opposite But Not Equal Kingdom
    Feb 23 2026
    In this episode, Mike and Tim ask a provocative question: Is "Christ is King" becoming blasphemy? They begin by analyzing recent political rhetoric, specifically a speech by Pete Hegseth, to discuss how biblical language can be hijacked for coercive power rather than reflecting the character of Jesus. The hosts argue that proclaiming theological truths while living in opposition to the way of Jesus is a distortion of "faith and politics." The conversation then shifts to a deep exploration of the Lord's Prayer and the petition, "Your Kingdom come." Mike and Tim unpack the concept of the "anti-kingdom," explaining that Jesus preached the Kingdom of God in enemy-occupied territory. They explore "theology" regarding the "powers and principalities," looking at the Divine Council in the Psalms, the "heavenly host" in Genesis, and how the biblical authors understood the spiritual forces behind structural evil and injustice. This isn't just about ancient myths; it is about understanding "the role of the church in society" when facing systemic corruption. By contrasting the "cruciformity" of the Gospel with the power dynamics of empire, the guys offer a framework for "navigating cultural challenges" with wisdom. They highlight that true "Christianity" recognizes the spiritual battle at play—not just in individuals, but in cultural patterns and ideologies. As the hosts discuss the "seen and unseen" realms, they emphasize the importance of prayer and "justice" in a world that is both beautiful and broken. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these complex topics, so please engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.

They look so beautifully abandoned, even in use. You say they look like arks after the sea's dried up, I say they look like pirate ships, and I think of that walk in the valley where J said, You don't believe in God? And I said, No. I believe in this connection we all have to nature, to each other, to the universe. And she said, Yeah, God. And how we stood there, low beasts among the white oaks, Spanish moss, and spider webs, obsidian shards stuck in our pockets, woodpecker flurry, and I refused to call it so. So instead, we looked up at the unruly sky, its clouds in simple animal shapes we could name though we knew they were really just clouds— disorderly, and marvelous, and ours.

  • From Genesis to Junia: A Conversation with Preston Sprinkle & Suzie Lind About Women in Leadership

    From Genesis to Junia: A Conversation with Preston Sprinkle & Suzie Lind About Women in Leadership
    Feb 16 2026

    Does the Bible truly restrict women in leadership? In this thought-provoking Voxology Podcast episode, Mike Geary, Susie Lind, and Preston Sprinkle wrestle with this deeply significant theological question. Drawing from Preston's upcoming book, *From Genesis to Junia: What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership*, they explore the historical, cultural, and biblical contexts that shape complementarian and egalitarian debates. Are women called to lead, preach, and teach in the church? What role does cultural context play in interpreting scripture?

    With a blend of personal stories, rigorous scholarship, and honest dialogue, the hosts unpack passages like 1 Timothy 2 and Ephesians 5, illuminating how interpretations of authority, headship, and agency have shaped the Church's approach to women in ministry. Susie shares her lived experience as a pastor navigating these challenges, while Preston dives into the exegetical work that informed his book.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how faith intersects with justice, theology, and cultural issues. Join the conversation as the hosts emphasize Jesus' inclusive teachings and challenge the commodification of women within religious structures.

  • The Christian Case Against Mike Johnson's Christian Case For Border Security

    The Christian Case Against Mike Johnson's Christian Case For Border Security
    Feb 9 2026

    Is border security truly biblical? At least in the way in which this administration is advocating? In this compelling episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim tackle this pressing question with thoughtful analysis and deep theological reflection. Exploring passages like Romans 13 and Leviticus 19:34, they examine the intersection of faith and politics, addressing claims about the Bible's stance on border security and justice. Together, they navigate key cultural challenges, unpacking how scripture is often used—or misused—in political debates.

    This episode dives into the role of the church in society, highlighting the importance of cruciformity, compassion, and justice in how Christians respond to immigration and broader governance issues. The hosts challenge listeners to rethink assumptions, engage critically with scripture, and consider how the teachings of Jesus call us to uphold human dignity in all circumstances.

    Join the conversation as we explore how faith intersects with cultural issues, and how humility, curiosity, and critical thinking can guide us in pursuing justice and embodying the upside-down kingdom of God. We encourage you to engage with us on Facebook and Instagram or send in your questions—we'd love to hear from you! Let's learn and grow together.

  • The Good News of the Church, Isn't About How Great the Church is

    The Good News of the Church, Isn't About How Great the Church is
    Feb 2 2026

    We don't build the Kingdom Of God

    We announce it

    We seek it

    We recieve it

    We bear witness to it

    We build for it

    What does it mean to truly seek the Kingdom of God? In this episode, the Voxology team explores the profound and practical implications of living in light of Jesus' Kingdom. From understanding the communal and political nature of the Kingdom to discussing themes like cruciformity, justice, and the role of the church in society, this episode unpacks how faith intersects with cultural challenges and societal structures.

    Join the conversation as the hosts examine how Jesus' teachings call us to embody a countercultural way of life, rejecting the power of coercion in favor of love, reconciliation, and abundance. Through thoughtful dialogue and personal reflections—like navigating issues of homelessness and the dignity of every human being—they challenge us to see the Kingdom as an expansive, inclusive, and tangible reality breaking into the world today.

    How does the church bear witness to this Kingdom? What does "faith and politics" look like lived out? And how do we faithfully resist passivity while embracing Jesus' call to justice and peace? These are just a few of the questions tackled in this engaging and thought-provoking episode.

    We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these questions together! Share your thoughts and connect with us on Facebook and Instagram. Let's continue to navigate these important conversations about Christianity, theology, and the transformative power of Jesus' Kingdom in our world today.
