The Parrhesians
The Greek word is parrhesia" means “forthright truth-telling.” One who speaks with parrhesia doesn’t flatter, manipulate, or use rhetorical tricks. He doesn’t massage or bend the truth, and he doesn’t hedge. He’s confident truth is on his side, and he takes moral responsibility for speaking it. Join Kyle Bennett, Peter Chace and Nate Devlin as they offer bold truth and discuss how to be the church in a world possessed by lies.

Practice
As Coach Herm Edwards once said (famously)...“You play to win the game.” But you can’t win the game (with all due respect to Allen Iverson) if you don’t practice.
Practice is important, it’s important for sports, it’s important for music, it’s important for almost every endeavor in life, including our life in Christ.
Christians must practice their faith, and that means engaging in any number of spiritual activities, including the practice of spiritual disciplines. But practices and disciplines are not necessarily the same thing. Why is that important and what does it matter?
Well, in this episode of the Parrhesian Podcast, we talk with our own Kyle Bennett, who wrote a book called Practices of Love, that explores Christian practices and spiritual disciplines, how they are connected, how they are different, and why they are so important for Christian living. (I’ll give you a hint, they help you win the game!)
