Is It Ethical to Get the Wheelchair Movie Ticket?? | Brand New Podcast

Pastor Shannon is convinced the algorithm is watching him. It started with tractor videos. Now he can't get away from something called a Boulder Buddy, and he's starting to think he might actually want one.

That's how this episode opens. It ends somewhere completely different — with a hard conversation about a pastor who got caught in an inappropriate situation with his worship leader and told his staff they had just been making chili. From there we get into what people really mean when they say "dark season," the difference between being hurt and being harmed, why church hurt usually isn't what people think it is, and whether you can actually lose your salvation.

In between: flock cameras, government grocery stores, car seats as a form of communism, and a guy in an American flag diaper outside Trump Tower.
