With defining cults and NRMs out of the way, Josh wants to dig into the theology of some groups and how they splinter from Christianity. What starts as a conversation around our preconceptions of cults as charismatic or fantastical turns into how cults (and churches) define and broadcast their beliefs for marketing purposes. Is it helpful to be ultra defined in every belief up front or leave things nebulous to newcomers?

We all grew up in different parts of American Christianity, and we still keep thinking about how to take it seriously, even as we leave some beliefs behind. Join us our round-table discussion as we ravel out our faith in a complex world, pulling on one thread at a time, seeking Meaning at the end of it all.
