  • The Gospel and the Gun: A Christian Take on Gun Control
    2025/07/25

    #38 The gun control debate is more than political—it's personal, moral, and spiritual. In this episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, Paul Basden takes us to the epicenter of the controversy: the right to bear arms.

    Before diving into interviews and expert opinions next week, this Part 1 episode explores the spiritual tension many Christians feel when trying to balance personal freedom with public safety.

    Join us as we explore:

    • Four foundational beliefs that shape American attitudes on guns—sacredness of life, human sinfulness, the instinct to defend, and the constitutional right to bear arms
    • What Scripture says about valuing life and community
    • How churches can step into the gap with radical acceptance and relational rescue

    This episode challenges both extremes of the debate and asks deeper questions:

    What kind of person are you becoming? What kind of society are we building?

    Whether you’re a gun owner, an advocate for reform, or somewhere in between, this conversation invites reflection, not reaction. Listen now and prepare to be both convicted and comforted. Subscribe wherever you stream podcasts. Tune in next week for Part 2 featuring expert interviews.

  • When the Church Hurts – and Heals: A Conversation on Church Hurt, Healing & Hope
    2025/07/17

    #37 In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, Paul Basden sits down with longtime Preston Trail Creative Pastor Allison Harrell and couples group coordinator D’Anthony Forte to talk about a subject too many know firsthand: church hurt.

    Allison opens up about growing up in a high-control religious group she now recognizes as a cult—where authority went unchecked, manipulation was normalized, and eventually, her family was excommunicated. D’Anthony shares how fear-based faith, legalism, and judgment shaped his earliest experiences with church, leading to decades of anxiety and a 14-year absence from Christian community.

    Together, they discuss:

    • What spiritual abuse and toxic church cultures can look like
    • Why walking away is sometimes a survival response—and why coming back is possible
    • The role of therapy, vulnerability, and real community in healing
    • How God’s love can meet us in our rawest, most wounded places
    • The surprising truth: church can still be the place where healing happens

    Whether you’ve been burned by spiritual authority, are afraid to trust again, or are simply walking alongside someone who’s been hurt, this episode offers honesty, grace, and hope.

  • Justice for All? A Christian’s Call Beyond Political Agendas
    2025/07/10

    #36 Is justice just a political buzzword hijacked by the culture wars—or is it central to the heart of God? In this thought-provoking episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, host Paul Basden dives deep into the biblical roots of justice and challenges us to move beyond partisan stereotypes to embrace God’s call to care for the vulnerable.

    Join us as we explore: What the Hebrew prophets (like Isaiah) really said about justice (Isaiah 1:17, 10:1-2, 58:6-7) How Jesus wove justice into His mission (Luke 4:16-19, Matthew 25:31-46) Why justice is more than politics—it’s a reflection of God’s character How Christians can model “truth in action” (Benjamin Disraeli) to a watching world

    Is justice just another liberal agenda, or is it God’s mandate for His people?

    Tune in as we uncover what Scripture teaches and how the pursuit of justice might be what draws people back to the church.
