BONUS: Cussing, Smoking, & Tattoos—Oh My! w/ The Space Between & Uncertain
Show Notes
Episode Summary
Why are we so offended by “cussing”? Is someone really “going downhill” if they smoke tobacco or have tattoos? Melanie joins Katherine from Uncertain Podcast and William from The Space Between Podcast to discuss the morality, legalism, and taboos surrounding these behaviors in the Evangelical Church. How and why did they become such a marker of one’s status with God? And are there more forces at work than simply sin and holiness?
