Let's Talk About Porn

Porn. It's impossible to escape it. It's as ubiquitous as the air we breathe nowadays, and it comes in many forms. Men and women both struggle with it and are forced to deal with the ensuing shame, deserved or otherwise. It's unfortunate that young people are not better equipped to deal with their sex drives. In light of this real need, I decided to share some of my thoughts and offer a clarifying perspective along with some meandering advice and insights on how to navigate this complex topic. I hope you find it helpful. Things aren't as bleak as you might have been taught to think.

You Don't Understand "Forgiveness"

I felt compelled to record this episode in the wake of the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. His widow, Erika Kirk, gave a speech at her late husband's memorial service which sparked some controversy due to the fact that she offered her husband's murderer "forgiveness." Or did she? What does it actually mean to forgive someone? In this episode, I dig into biblical passages throughout the old and new testaments and exegete the texts in order to bring to light the true meaning of forgiveness. This is a topic I have been contemplating for about a decade now, and it hits close to home. I hope it will illuminate your understanding of this grossly misunderstood term. Forgiveness; it's not what you think it is.

Taboo Questions: Was Jesus Christ Deity? (feat. Greg Steinmetz)

One of the biggest questions throughout the history of Christendom has centered on defining the nature of Christ, specifically regarding the incorporation of his alleged deity. Questioning the deity of Jesus Christ might be the most taboo question anyone could pose within Christian circles; at the very least, it is generally frowned upon. It tends to lead toward the accusation of one being a "heretic," and the conclusions people have drawn on this matter have even given rise to the emergence of various cults and denominations. Nevertheless, every person, "Christian" or otherwise, must contend with this question. The biblical answer might involve more nuance than you'd expect. I invite you to listen in as I speak with Greg Steinmetz about his journey of wrestling with this topic and much more.

Phone Call with Brad (Male Sexuality)

I'm on a journey to better understand true sexuality as defined by my Creator. In the biblical literature, there is a record of various laws God gave to Moses which governed sexual conduct and sexual relationships in Israel; these laws can be found in Leviticus 18. In an effort to better understand why God gave these laws, I decided to give my buddy Bradley Vazquez a phone call to discuss the topic. The conversation that followed delved into much more than I was expecting. We hope you enjoy listening in to our bro-chat!

Circumcision (Phone Call with Moose Bergonzi)

Is the modern day version of "circumcision" equivalent to the biblical practice of circumcision given by God to the patriarch Abraham? And why did God choose circumcision as an initiation ritual for His covenant in the first place? Why that of all things? Listen in to the phone call I had with Moose Bergonzi as we circle around this topic.
