1M ago31:53

31:53

Is the Enneagram Demonic? Let's go through the Ancient Inspirations, Modern History, and how to discern whether it's for you or not... Why I brought up CCE: I wonder if if the origins of the Enneagram derived from being a solution to a social issue. Yet, now I don't think so because it was different aspects from ancient religions that were put toge…

Pastor talk to an Agnostic: Her FIRST TIME hearing the REAL Gospel 1:26:26

1M ago1:26:26

1:26:26

This is a video about Vanessa and her upbringing and how that shapes us. She talks about her experience with her family's faith which too many of us can relate to on some level. I did end up nerding out on her because she had so many good questions... I may have talked way too much. We talked about so many more things before and after this intervie…

Christian Rant 2 27:50

2M ago27:50

27:50

These kinds of episodes are just Brain and emotional dumps. Maybe you can relate and maybe hear about something you've never heard about but there's no real intention with these. I just need to dump things out sometimes. It is what it is. I talk about Art and Music, Darmic Duty, the idea of anyone putting themselves online has to be at least a litt…

Why I became Protestant pt. 2 26:20

2M ago26:20

26:20

Continuing my rant about Protestants being the best. I go over the core and heart of Protestantism, Communion, the underlying narrative of the Old Churches' Dogmatic practices and declarations, and Probably the biggest internal critique of the Protestant Church: Who decides who's right and saved if no one can speak on each other's life?…

Join me next time to get the really spicy hot takes!…

I don't want to impose myself into the conversation if it's not valid or whatever... BUT I think there are some things I put on the table that aren't being talked about. I might be naive (cultural sub-context and the directors intentions) but let me cook!By Nelson de Mello

Todd White's Controversy: Can God still use it? 25:29

3M ago25:29

25:29

A little more Somber today... Todd White: A prominent figure in a few Christian Circles who has been addressed apparently a few times.

Gospel for the Gays? 38:19

6M 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... I may have some different takes but maybe that doesn't even matter. Tough conversations will always sound insensitive, and I apologize but we push through the uncomfortable conversations for truth and clarity and…

AM I the Heretic for this? 28:04

6M 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. I don't want to conflate anything and I don't want to play with technicalities so you decide!By Nelson de Mello

This might not be THE answer, but it's maybe something you haven't heard or tried before...

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

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. I know there is a generation of Atheists that left the faith because they couldn't find answers to honest questions. This doesn't have to be the case anymore!

Stop Cheating on God 22:45

Oh boy... Not too harsh but hopefully a perspective shift on how we see our dependencies, our leanings, and what we put our hope in... If it ain't Jesus, we're doing it wrong. Idolatry is the word.

God's Grief III: The End Game 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!

When SATAN talked to JESUS 35:58

8M 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

9M 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

9M 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…

As Christians, should we divorce? 22:36

9M 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

9M 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

9M 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

9M 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

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

Obedience VI: Jesus + SEEING GOD WITH DRUGS??? 39:07

9M ago39:07

39:07

What does it look like to obey God? What does it take to obey God? What If I disobey? We'll be looking at these questions and more in our Obedience series! Today we'll be looking at Jesus as the perfect role model for obedience. Even Jesus slightly hesitated to take the cup of wrath, but obedience isn't always so hard and harsh. Sometimes, when we'…
