Rabbi Wildes on "The Orthodox Conundrum" with Rabbi Scott Kahn: This is a rebroadcast of Rabbi Wildes' appearance on "The Orthodox Conundrum" with Rabbi Scott Kahn; an amazing podcast from Jewish Coffee House which takes an honest look at the major issues affecting the Orthodox world, without exaggeration, whitewashing, or pretending that they don’t exist. This episode is, in some ways, two distinct podcasts in one: one about outreach, and one about some major spiritual challenges that exist in the Modern Orthodox world. Many in the Centrist or Modern Orthodox world are uncomfortable with kiruv and outreach; it’s often associated with acting with condescension towards people who are not Orthodox, objectifying people who are not Orthodox, and not acting forthrightly towards people who are not Orthodox. Perhaps most concerning, though, is the suspicion that kiruv professionals act as though they have all the answers, that Orthodoxy is a perfect society, and that we need to reach out b by The Wildescast

Do All Denominations Lead People to Heaven?: In this episode, Dale and Veronica unpack two questions: The first is on denominations, and the second is on practical steps for furthering your spiritual maturity. In terms of denominations, many people are curious to why there are so many sects in the Christian church—Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist etc. Many wonder if denominations are sacred or sinful? Do all denominations lead people to heaven? Together, Dale and Veronica look at Scripture to provide answers to these important questions. by Real Christianity
