In this weeks episode of Inverted Orthodoxy, Pastors Blake, Kyle, and Doug discuss the following:

AER- 1:12 into episode

AER On last weeks topic of friendships with the opposite sex. do you think you’re assessment of the situation might be coming from being raised in the purity culture era or mindset? I would argue that it might be a skewed view and would be curious to know how you feel purity culture impacted each of you both in your teens to now.

Question 1 -17:07 into episode

Within expectations in others, I struggle with expecting such a high standard, when I know that imperfections can be beautiful. When I expect more, it’s never ended well for me. What is the difference between hope and expectations? And how, biblically, can I reach hope within others and the future rather than disappointment and unrealistic expectations? Instead of expecting god to do something… how can hear what is from him in these circumstances?

Question 2 -49:02 into episode

I was recently watching the movie “Prince of Egypt” and noticed that one of the plagues seems to be fire from the sky and when I noticed that I realized that I’ve seen other movies depict that before too. When I read about the plagues though that doesn’t seem to be mentioned, is there a translation in which fire from the sky is one of the plagues of Egypt or do you think that it is just the creators of those films trying to make it more dramatic, as though locusts and frogs, and bloody water, etc. aren’t dramatic enough?
