This is Stuff Adventists Should Know. Starting in January, 2018, I’ll be launching a podcast that explores compartments of the Seventh-day Adventist church. I’ll be talking to scholars, administrators, and leaders in our church to find out how the church works and why knowing matters.

At a time when understanding is needed most in our church and it feels like church isn’t working like it should, we’re essentially just going to pull over the vehicle of Adventism and pop the hood and get professional opinions on the current state of the machine.

How To Disagree With The Church

Dr. Nicholas Miller tells the story of Adventism's navigation through major interpretational shifts in the midst of 19th century America. After explaining the meaning of true "fundamentalism", Dr. Miller points out the reason Adventists are not fundamentalists at their roots and why knowing is important. Also, he lets the listener know the potential pitfalls of a fundamentalist usage of the "plain reading of Scripture".

Are Adventists Fundamentalists?

Why do people look at porn? What's the difference between shame and guilt? Does being Christian have an overall effect on usage rates in the church? In this episode, Dr. Brad Hinman talks about the continued rise of porn addiction, specifically in the Adventist church and why it seems to be getting worse, even among clergy.  Listen to understand the psychological and physiological reasons why so many men and women seem to be addicted to porn and how one may begin recovery.

And is it divided on the basis of race? Join Michael Nixon, Ty Gibson, Garrison Hayes, and Michael Polite as they reflect on the history of racial issues in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and discuss the subtle ways bias and privilege can still affect its members.

Stuff Adventists Should Know took a break and here's why.

What Happened?!

Where is the balance between humanism and Christian fundamentalism? While mental health professionals take a largely secular approach to their practice, Jennifer Jill Schwirzer discusses the combination of psychology and faith while telling the history of counseling in the Seventh-day Adventist church and why it's taken so long to embrace its message.

The Mental Health Message

Much of Christian evangelism can feel like advertising these days, especially with the overwhelming tsunami of marketing campaigns paying to get our attention. Oliver Glanz, professor of Old Testament at the Adventist Seminary, discusses the efficacy of our current traditional methods and shares what kind of evangelism comes more naturally to him.
