Steve Brown Etc.

Hope for the future seems to be in short supply these days. Who can blame us? Our children go to school wondering if it's their turn to get gunned down in class. Our country is deeply divided. Racism, terrorism, and instability plague us. It's enough to make even Christians doubt that God is in control. Join Caleb Kaltenbach on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, God of Tomorrow: How to Overcome the Fears of Today and Renew Your Hope for the Future. God exists in the past, present, and future, and we can trust him to walk with us into tomorrow. Caleb Kaltenbach is a pastor and popular speaker on issues of faith, reconciliation, and sexual diversity. Don't miss Caleb's previous appearance on SBE talking about his book, Messy Grace: How a Pastor with Gay Parents Learned to Love Others Without Sacrificing Conviction. 

Christians aren't known for being funny. Comedy takes a certain freedom that one doesn't come by while tiptoeing around sacred cows or worrying if one's jokes are grieving the Holy Spirit. Even so, every once in a while, some Christians do dare to dance on the lines and invite the sacred cows over for a barbecue. Join Kyle Mann from the Christian news satire site The Babylon Bee as he talks about their new book, How to Be a Perfect Christian: Your Comprehensive Guide to Flawless Spiritual Living. You won't only get the holiness help you need, you'll actually witness the rare Evangelicus Humorous in its native habitat. Kyle Mann is editor in chief of The Babylon Bee.

Join Chad Bird on Steve Brown, Etc. as he tells his story and talks about his new book, Night Driving: Notes from a Prodigal Soul.

Is Bible reading just another burden that's been loaded onto your back by toxic religion? Do you feel guilty when you read it? Do you feel guilty when you don't? The truth is, reading the Bible doesn't have to come with all that baggage.
