A Better Allegiance EP6: Grief, Gossip & The Vagabond Spirit

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/fan_mail/new] Are we calling grief gossip? Are honest questions becoming dangerous in church culture? This week on A Better Allegiance, Robert dives into the tension surrounding “vagabond Christians,” vaguebooking, church unity, gossip, grace, and the fear of asking hard questions. Because not everyone wrestling is rebellious… And not every difficult conversation is division. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/support]

A Better Allegiance EP5: Are You Actually Ready?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/fan_mail/new] In this episode of A Better Allegiance, Robert Uribe asks a question many of us assume we already know the answer to: Are you actually ready? Using Matthew 25 and the parable of the ten bridesmaids, this episode challenges the idea that being around faith is the same as being formed by it. Everyone looked ready… until the moment came—and only some were. This message speaks to both those who have stepped away from the Church and those who stayed but may have slowly adjusted along the way. In a time shaped by division, culture, and compromise, this is a call back—not to an institution, but to Jesus. Because when the moment comes… It won’t reveal what you said. It will reveal what you built. “They all looked ready… until it mattered.” Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/support]

A Better Allegiance EP4: Are We Choosing Barabbas Again?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/fan_mail/new] In this powerful and deeply convicting episode of A Better Allegiance, Robert tackles one of the most difficult conversations the Church must face right now: what happens when political loyalty begins to resemble spiritual devotion? Using recent events—including the controversy surrounding an AI-generated image depicting the president in Christ-like imagery, escalating tensions with Iran, and the growing use of end-times prophecy to justify political conflict—this episode asks a hard but necessary question: Are we choosing Barabbas again? Drawing from Revelation 13, 2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 24, and the Gospel account of Barabbas, Robert challenges believers to examine whether allegiance to power, party, and personality has begun to replace allegiance to Jesus Christ. This episode also revisits one of the foundational themes of A Better Allegiance: the importance of the separation of church and state, and why the erosion of that boundary is spiritually dangerous for the witness of the Church. This is not an episode about telling you how to vote. It is an episode about asking who truly sits on the throne of your heart. If faith is being used to sanctify power, justify war, or rush toward prophecy, then the Church must pause and ask whether we are following Christ—or simply defending the version of power we have made peace with. A bold conversation on idolatry, discernment, prophecy, peacemaking, and what it means to remain faithful in a divided age. Christ alone is King.

A Better Allegiance EP3: When Silent Speaks

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/fan_mail/new] In today’s world, it’s easy to label hard conversations as “political” and step back. But what if some of the things we’ve placed in that category were never meant to be political in the first place? In this episode of A Better Allegiance, Robert explores what Scripture says about how we treat people—and what happens when the church chooses silence in moments that require love, courage, and action. Walking through James 2, Proverbs 31, and Micah 6:8, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond passive faith and reflect the full life of Jesus—not just His words, but His actions. This isn’t about politics. It’s about people. It’s about dignity. It’s about whether we’re willing to love the people God places in front of us… even when it’s uncomfortable. And if we’re honest… silence says something. 🎙 A Better Allegiance is a podcast about being formed by Christ, not culture, and keeping our allegiance where it belongs.

A Better Allegiance EP2: Who Is My Neighbor? | Loving Your Neighbor in a Divided World

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600968/fan_mail/new] Episode 2: Who Is My Neighbor? Christians talk a lot about loving our neighbor. But in a divided world, that simple command can quickly become complicated. In this episode of A Better Allegiance, Robert explores the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and what Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor” looks like today. Through scripture and honest reflection, this conversation asks an important question: Are we letting culture define who our neighbor is, or are we allowing Jesus to shape the way we love people? If Jesus is coming again, how should we live until that day? 🎙 A Better Allegiance is a podcast about being formed by Christ, not culture, and remembering where our ultimate allegiance belongs.
