You're listening to fighting for Welcome to Fighting for the Faith. My name is Chris Roseborough. This is the show that's all about defending the Christian faith from error and attacks from the inside and outside of the church.

We've got a rip-roaring conversation for you lined up today.

We're going to be talking about Brian McLaren and the emergent church,

and I've got internet bad boy himself the Reverend Ken Silva with me today in

studio and so he's actually on the phone we got him on the line and we're gonna we're gonna talk about Ken now a lot of folks don't like Ken Silva he seems to say it like it is and

Says things that really get people upset, but well,, let's see what that's all about.

Can you with us?

I certainly am.

All right, good to have you.

Thanks for coming on.

My pleasure.

All right.

Hopefully we won't make too much of a fool of ourselves today with our studio patch work here getting

you on the phone.

All right, so Ken, you seem to be a lightning rod on the internet.

And a lot of folks don't like your tone.

They don't like the things that you say.

I mean, you call people names and say some mean things.

You know, is it unloving to call people heretics and to criticize them the way that you do?

In fact, you know, we all have those bracelets that we've been wearing for the past few years what

would Jesus do it is this how Jesus would handle these folks well I have to say I believe

it is yeah and I believe there's different ways of handling it too.
