Stoop Theology S1 Episode 13: Is It Okay for You to Watch the Shows You Watch?
This week on the Stoop, we’re asking the question some of us avoid: is it actually okay for you to watch what you’re watching? Not a list of approved and banned shows, but a helpful and biblical framework for discernment, so you can answer that question honestly for yourself instead of relying on guilt or guesswork.
Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 12: Navigating Pain and Suffering
In this episode of Stoop Theology, we dive into a difficult but deeply necessary conversation about navigating pain, grief, and disappointment while following Jesus. Does Jesus guarantee us a good life if we follow him? Drawing from personal stories of profound loss, we explore a theology of suffering—and a Savior who doesn't just watch our pain from a distance, but understands it fully.
