Episode 5: Absolute Christianity

Episode 6: My time at a Megachurch Ministry

Today’s more of a story from my time at a church associated ministry, and how it really opened my eyes to the reality of the marketing behind many of the bigger churches. There’s a tension there, but it really is a simple choice. It’s just sad that in today’s institutional evangelical church, most choose the easy, worldly way instead of the faithful way of serving God.

Episode 5: Absolute Christianity

This is a more off the cuff podcast, where I share my feelings about how Christians need to ABSOLUTELY be sure they believe what they profess to believe, and be completely sold out for God.

Episode 4: Should Christians Endure or Engage in Politics: Here are my Thoughts

I’ll keep this short, but many Christians are asking whether they should get more involved in speaking up on cultural and political issues. Many feel guilty for not doing more, especially those with larger platforms as influencers. It’s not easy to decide what you should do because God has given us freedom and our own personalities and character to have different impacts. I go over the two major positions that I believe are the foundation, and the good and bad of each. But, they both converge when crisis arrives, as I believe it may be in 2025. What do you think?

Episode 3: Inspired by Charlie Kirk's life of Faith in Action?

We’ve seen many videos of people recommitting to their Christian faith, or are now finally getting off their butts and checking out church and Christianity. That’s all great, but as you head to, or head back to church, I share three traps to avoid or be careful of as you enter the church community.

Episode 2: Christian Nationalism vs. Kingdom Faithfulness

I guess my initial thoughts about what the assassination of Charlie Kirk would stir up has been proven true. I think it’s due to two points: First, Charlie was pretty much you regular Joe Christian. His views were mainstream evangelical and reform. So for someone to murder him just for that leads to the logical conclusion—are we next? I asked my proggy nephew that, and he just continued his sneering and snide mocking. Sad. Second, I believe Charlie lived out his beliefs fully on the world stage. So much so that it really is inspiring in the courage of his faith and cultural/political convictions that the reactions were what we’ve seen. I mean, wow. It’s blown my mind the effect his death is having, and may continue to have. His death was a martyrdom, though many won’t understand that, and that’s fine. So, today’s post, and the transcript is available, asks the question that I’m sure many Christians are now wrestling with. And that is, how far and how convicted am I in my faith to live it out in the church or perhaps in the arena so politics and culture. I talk about five different viewpoints that Christians throughout the life of the Church have adopted in reconciling that passage in Mark: render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God, what is God’s. Hope this podcast helps you identify where you may be on the spectrum from Endurance to Engagement.
