Do Real Face To Face Conversations Still Happen?

This episode may seem like two guys just asking questions of each other, however, the main point of this podcast and the challenge to us all is to put down the phones (after you have listened to the podcast) and have a genuine conversation with someone you love. We often get caught up in our daily fast paced life of work, school, volunteering, extra curricular activities, social media, video games or whatever, that we don't sit down with our friends or family and just have an honest conversation. In this episode, Caleb Davis (yep - my son) and I have a father-son, son-father conversation where we just have a conversation. We ask each other questions about the Bible, life, generational stereotypes and other interesting topics. The fun part is that we didn't share the questions with each other prior to the recording of the podcast. A tidbit for anyone that has children or young adults: Caleb provides his thoughts on how we (adults / parents) should communicate with their generation and provides some insight on their generational mindset. As I mention at the end of the episode, the Kingdom Challenge from this podcast is having that conversation with your spouse, children or friends and seek input or advice from them and try to do more listening and not so much talking or defending - you'll be amazed at how your relationship will grow. As always - please continue to share the episode and the podcast and also check out the YouTube Channel if you'd like to watch us!

Mental Health Awareness - A Must Listen Episode

May is Mental Health Awareness month so we spend this episode on suicide awareness. Pastor Obie Batista is the co-host and brings great wisdom, knowledge and personal experience regarding mental health. If you do not struggle with mental health, first, thank God for that, next, please listen to the episode because there is a good chance you have a son, daughter, spouse, family member, friend, co-worker or just a casual acquaintance that does. In this episode we discuss three major topics: 1.) Statistics regarding mental health and specifically suicide, 2.) signs to be aware of that could indicate that a person is struggling mentally and some suggestions on how connect with that individual, 3.) the HOPE that exists for all of us - Jesus Christ. Regardless of your struggle or the stage of the struggle that you are in, there IS hope and that hope comes from Jesus. If you are struggling, please don't go through it alone. Reach out to any of the resources below to get help. As we discuss in this episode, asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. We all have a story and a testimony, God can use your struggles to help someone else! * Suicide Prevention Hotline: 988 * Lifeline Website: https://988lifeline.org/ * Mission 22 (Veteran Awareness): https://mission22.com/ * Shane Davis: Shanedavis28012@gmail.com * Obie Batista: obie@citync.com

The Dangers of Progressive Christianity - Part 1

Progressive Christianity 'started' around 2006 and has continued to grow in number of followers and churches over the years. This is a dangerous movement that needs to be discussed in our churches and with our young adults as well as Christ followers that may be early in their walk. This is part one of a two part series there Brent and I discuss not only the guiding principles (per the Progressive Christianity website), but the dangers of the movement. As we have mentioned in the past, our goal is to communicate the love of Christ and empower anyone that is listening to us to follow Christ or get to know Him better. Sometimes this can be difficult to communicate as well as difficult to receive, however, the Bible and Jesus himself says that when we choose to follow Him we will suffer rejection as He did.

Easter Special - Death and Resurrection of Christ

Back by popular demand, Brent Hubbard is my guest again on this episode where we discuss the death and resurrection of Christ. As we approach Easter (Resurrection Day), it is extremely important that we discuss the events that led up the resurrection and even more importantly WHY those events had to happen for our benefit. I could spend time typing out the importance of the death and resurrection and why it is the most important event in human history, however I wouldn't do it justice. Brent and I talk about these items in this episode and back it up with Scripture. Please listen to the end (spoiler alert) and if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, TODAY is the day. Do not wait, Scripture says that we are not guaranteed tomorrow and life is like a vapor. The main purpose and driver of this podcast is to glorify Christ and encourage anyone listening that may not know Him to take that step of inviting him into your heart.
