Episodes

  1. Banned songs and other fun things

    I Matthew West’s new song, Modest is Hottest, was pulled down before I even got to listen to it and that makes me bitter. Listen in to hear why it should be unapologetically re-released.

  2. “It ain’t got no gas in it”

    Today I talk about, and to, Pete Enns about certainty, the inerrancy of scripture, and blatant hypocrisy.

  3. Inerrancy of scripture.

    Today I talk about why you can believe scripture is inerrant, and the need for faith beyond the truth.

  4. Let’s talk about hell.

    Hell is one of the sticking points for deconstruction, so let’s meet it head on with some scripture.

  5. When doing all the things just doesn’t work.

    What do you do when you can’t feel God working in your life? Listen in to find out!

  6. Intro to deconstruction

    Hey everyone I’m glad to be back! Today I dive in to the deconstruction movement, launching a new series I am planning on working on. Hope you enjoy it and are challenged by it.

  7. Faith

    The just shall live by faith. It’s the evidence of things unseen, it’s how we come to Jesus Christ. Listen as we go through Hebrews 11, the faith chapter.

  10. Be of good cheer, and preach the gospel

    Just my thoughts on going forward, no matter what happens. God bless

  11. Is God still God when you can’t catch a break?

    Psalm 42 and Stephen (my middle name sake) show us how to follow Christ when things don’t go our way.

  12. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another

    You need a spiritual spotter. Are you surrounding yourself with people who will lead you closer to Jesus, or people who are making you full?

  13. Wisdoms seeks tough counsel.

    Are you willing to surround yourself with people who care? Then you need to be around people who are willing to be a little tough when you need it.

  14. Why Christians stand against homosexuality

    If you think we’re bigoted or hateful, you’re going to want to listen to this.

  15. Killing Sheba

    Sheba was a wicked man and he got what he deserved. Are you willing to fight to the death against your own sin, cut off its head, and toss it out? Have you fought your sin to the point of shedding blood?

  16. 40 hour fast

    Some things can only be solved by fasting and prayer. Find out here about the 40 hour fast, and exactly what it means to fast and pray.

  20. Though you slay me

    Tune in to hear how we ought to relate and react to the gospel in our broken world.

  21. Psalm 69

    David cried out to the Lord, and so should you...with humility.

  22. Sometimes it’s good to be triggered.

    Being triggered usually just means you’re being convicted. Find out the correct reaction to being triggered here today.

  23. The gospel, the full gospel, and nothing but the gospel.

    Jesus calls us to preach His gospel. What does that gospel look like according to John 8:1-20? Tune in to find out.

  24. Isaiah 6:8-10 “Send me”

    Sometimes we feel like it’s the pastors job to preach the gospel, but the truth is it belongs to every believer.

  25. Ezekiel 23 “Christ Husband of the church”

    Buckle up for this one. The Bible isn’t always G rated, but it’s always right. Our savior is a jealous husband and He is coming back for His bride.
