S5 Ep18 Pentecost is Overshadowing the Resurrection in Many Churches

More rambling about the neglect of the resurrection (the Lord's and ours) as we just came through Pentecost which, in most places, is celebrated far more than the third day. Putting aside that I don't believe that Pentecost is "the birthday of the Church," on its own it shouldn't be celebrated even at 1/10,000 of how we should celebrate the resurrection. Man's "Lent" and the crucifixion occupy most of Christendom as the greater undoing of the curse and the only hope of redemption, the rising up of the Lord Jesus Christ by his own power, is relegated to one day... and most believers can't tell you the significance. If mom is already dancing in heaven, who needs a resurrection? Sad.

S5 Ep17 The False Revival and Other Last Days Stuff

General commentary on the ecclesiastical direction of the conservative movement in America as Catholics Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Megyn Kelly, and others take the headlines. If you think those extremists won't last, they're not the only ones in the movement. More conventional conservatives Like J.D. Vance and Jack Posobiec present an even greater threat as they move on organizations like TPUSA. Recorded April 17, 2026.

S5 Ep16 The Kingdom on Earth in Scripture Will Be Israel's Kingdom #theology

From the time God instructed Abraham to walk the length and breadth of the land God promised him and his offspring, through the prophets' vision of a future kingdom, to the declaration of John the Baptist, to the Lord's teaching on the topic, to the offer of the Kingdom to Israel by the Apostles, to the realization of real kingdom on earth in the Revelation... the Lord's promises stand firm. To Israel belong the promises, the fathers, the covenants, the priesthood, and the Kingdom. That is God's plan for the earth. We should be concerned with the greater blessing and the hope in heavenly places.

S5 Ep15 The Victory in Christianity is Christ’s Resurrection (and Ours)

Despite the almost universal adoption of the creature known in Christendom as Lent, it is the resurrection that we need to exalt. If not for the resurrection of Christ, two things would be true: we'd still be in our sins, and once we die we'd be dead forever. While we praise the Lord Jesus for suffering and dying on our behalf, without the resurrection we'd have no hope. God has no interest in us giving up chocolate for forty days and God knows no such creature as a "bodiless soul" running around heaven. Men have turned the resurrection into an asterisk by adopting Plato's idea of the "immortal soul" after Augustine inflicted it on the faith.

S5 Ep14 The Problem in the Charismatic Movement is the Movement

We don't judge the sincere believer in the pew. We cannot read hearts. We acknowledge our own limitations and failings. But can some of the egregious scandals that have rocked the Charismatic-Pentecostal movement since its inception be simply an expected byproduct of the theology itself? We pull back the lens on the recent scandals (theological and moral) at Bethel Church and other places like The International House of Prayer (IHOPKC) and examine what makes these teachers and congregations so seemingly vulnerable to scandal and disappointment and error.
