Gospel for the Gays? 38:19

2M ago38:19

38:19

This is a heavy one that I stumbled through... With my own past, with people I've talked to, there's a lot to consider and think about...

Tough conversations will always sound insensitive, and I apologize but we push through the uncomfortable conversations for truth and clarity and…

3M ago28:04

28:04

I talked a lot about false gospels recently, but we should always check the log in our own eye... My question becomes... AM I preaching a false Gospel? I read from Isaiah 5:20 and 2nd Peter 3:3-4.

Help! This Bible verse might be our downfall... 28:55

4M ago28:55

28:55

Hebrews 5:9 was the bane of my existence for about 3 days... Thank God for scholars, I stand on their shoulders. I hope this inspires you.

Stop Cheating on God 22:45

4M ago22:45

God's Grief III: The End Game 35:37

4M ago35:37

35:37

A HUGE question I go back and forth on, I wonder if it has to do with my biases and maybe even what I'm going through in the moment. I want to get to the bottom of it and I'm taking you on the journey with me. I don't want to be subjective because I want the truth so bad! Today we touch on how Judah Smith's radically gracious theology is actually s…

When SATAN talked to JESUS 35:58

4M ago35:58

35:58

Starting in Matthew 4, I go through one of the weirdest interactions in the Bible... I do though, like perhaps Jordan Peterson would do, I try to reach for the interpersonal lessons and representative symbols that apply to our lives. Treating it this way though, does not take away from the validity and truth of this story. Thanks again for checking…

I shared the Gospel with a CO-WORKER 14:43

5M ago14:43

14:43

This Co-worker gave me some food for thought. We talk about how different devout Christians are from the rest of the world by being EMPOWERED to be Christlike... Our perspective changes in a way that we're not in a psychological/emotional/physical/spiritual scarcity mindset. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something use…

A Morbid Rant 1/2 23:54

5M ago23:54

23:54

A little chaotic today, this episode is a bummer, the other this week is not, both very introspective. I hope this one isn't too hopeless though! It's ironic and shows my Ambivalence, but a week apart I go from Melancholy to Exuberance. I've decided to put these two episodes together so look out for "Passion v. discipline: A Passion Rant 2/2" Thank…

Am I right on this one? I'm genuinely curious... Let me know on whatever platform you're on. It's ironic and shows my Ambivalence, but a week or so apart, I go from Melancholy to Exuberance.

As Christians, should we divorce? 22:36

5M ago22:36

22:36

Quite a Doozy.. or Is It? The interesting thing is that people just don't read the Bible for what it is... It's way more life giving than anyone's interpretation. Take away the suffocating Self-Righteousness and the Liberal Anarchy and be left with God's safety net and wisdom. These are the passages that speak directly about divorce. The first four…

What if you're not who you think you are? 10:01

5M ago10:01

10:01

As I've looked back at my transformation, I think back at why I identified with things that were no good for me. I realized that I believe about myself lies that I've told myself... or something even more sinister... I don't talk about it here but Satan literally means "the accuser". Whether figuratively, literally, or metaphysically, I could say t…

Wrestle with God 23:40

5M ago23:40

23:40

We CANNOT be shy to be real, authentic, with God. Those who were most intimate with God argued (Abraham and Moses) and wrestled God one instance even literally (Jacob). It's ok to not understand, to doubt, to not agree, but don't leave it at that. WRESTLE WITH GOD. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you go…

True Biblical Understanding 15:03

5M ago15:03

15:03

Is it true? Can you only understand the heart of the matter through the Holy Spirit? can we rationalize the Bible's teachings? Actually these are loaded questions... Of course we can rationalize them... IF our foundation is Christ: His death and resurrection. Without it, it's all foolishness and a stumbling block (1 Cor. 1:23) Thanks again for chec…

Fear of the Lord 18:53

6M ago18:53

Something I never really get tired of talking about, it becomes so essential.

Obedience III + This Will Always Be A Miracle... 13:47

6M ago13:47

13:47

What is Micro and Macro level obedience? I also stopped to meditate on the glorious miracle that is our salvation. We forget how impossible it was for us to be saved... some of us don't even know... I also passionately talk about Believer and Disciple... maybe too passionate, but I don't think I've missed the mark, what do you think? Stay tuned as …

The Beauty of Mundane Worship 16:24

6M ago16:24

16:24

We worship when everything sucks or when everything is good. but what about in the in-betweens? What about the consistent worship? It's all in bases of our intimacy with Jesus as if he was actually the love of our lives. Let's dig in!By Nelson de Mello

MOST REVIVALS BACKFIRED and Here's why... 11:13

7M ago11:13

11:13

Every church prays for revival but haven't we learned from history? and don't we know that good things that last forever, take hard work and a lot of time? We should pray for manageable growth and proportional workers to tend the ripe fields. The majority of churches have passive members in them, imagine if we were active in loving God and loving o…

Is Terrence Howard changing the science world? 42:38

7M ago42:38

42:38

A little off topic but I'm so interested in the themes of what is going on because of Terrance Howard doing his science thing. exposing the science community for it's hypocrisy and greed The fallacy of thinking science can answer "Why?" He's the apex of the metaphor of the Flat Earth Theory The church has gone through the skepticism that the scienc…

The Olympics... Get Over Yourself 15:07

7M ago15:07

15:07

I know I'm late to the party. But maybe it's deeper than you realize... at the same time, it's not that deep. I don't think they're being intentionally malicious, perhaps just distastefully ignorant. For example, did you know that there are many bodies of literature that make the comparison of Dionysus and Jesus? Are my points valid? let me know!…

Are you free to choose? Has your story been plotted out by an author? Perhaps both... We'll go through various ideas and theories to tackle this problem.

Three times burned by The Church 31:09

7M ago31:09

31:09

This is about as real as I can get... I think.. what should I go deeper on or talk about? Here I talk about the three times I got burned by the church. What this means is that people in the church, whether leaders or congregants, acted in an abusive, destructive or at least a hurtful manner. The three are: My dad's old theology, a messy situation w…

CHRISTIANS AND TRANS ARE THE SAME!? 28:06

7M ago28:06

28:06

I have so much compassion for the people who don't belong and I've spent a lot of time praying and wrestling with scripture to understand: Why?.. Here I only scratch the surface of what I've meditated on in regards to the LGBTQ community. All we can do is go deeper and get more nuanced to what's going on. I compare Christians to Trans by this one t…
