L2L-034 Spiritual Meaning of Gender, pt 2
Continuation of the previous episode about the spiritual meaning of gender. Listen to the first one before this one. I continue to explore lots of ways the living metaphor of gender teaches us about the proper relationship of humans to God. At a certain point I get slightly specific about private...

L2L-033 Spiritual Meaning of Gender, pt 1
Merry Christmas! from Demas! This is my first episode in a long while, and I have started a new study which should help people better discuss one of the big social issues of the day -- gay marriage. Instead of focusing on why homosexuality is wrong, I focus on the reason marriage and gender were...

L2L-032 Light Pollution, pt 3
PLEASE listen to parts 1 and 2 of Light Pollution or you will not understand my ramblings in this episode. I discuss several poetic metaphors from a certain poet of the romantic era, and how they relate to the words of Jesus and Paul, specifically in 1 Cor 13, and John 14. I also encourage…

L2L-031 Light Pollution, pt 2
I revisit my previous episode "Light Pollution" and extend the metaphor and read some scriptures that have similar themes. Hopefully this episode encourages us to acknowledge God in all our ways. Here's the link to the Hyperspace Star Polytope Slicer that I referenced in the podcast....

L2L-030 LoveSaltLove
I discuss love, and also bring up some topics from previous episodes: normative power of the actual, and spiritual game theory. It seems that being salt and light does the work of preventing the new moral decay inherent in the "actual" becoming normal (ie progressive social issues). I also relate…

L2L-029 MoralBankruptcy
A new way to think about that phrase
-
L2L-028 Forced Perspective
Prophecy and the end times as seen through the lens of Willy Wonka. I illustrate the theory of the "new new world order," first explained to me by Frank Lordi and Chris White on the Frank & Chris Show. In subsequent discussions with Chris, I developed this idea of how to visually represent some…

L2L-027 Biblical Postmodernity 2, Cult of Celebrity Pt. 9
This is the "warm shower" after last episode's "cold shower." I talk a bit about the circumcision of the heart, and show how the attitude of postmodernism is basically the uncircumcision of the heart. I also show how we can find hope in the midst of postmodernity, and how we can show hope to...
-
L2L-026 Biblical Postmodernity 1, Cult of Celebrity Pt. 8
This is a continuation of episode 22, Songs About Rainbows, Cult of Celebrity, Pt. 7 I was looking for evidences of postmodernity in the Old Testament, and this is what I found. If you haven't listened to Songs About Rainbows, please listen to it first. This episode is a bit of a cold shower, but…

The 1-year mark for Letters to Laodicea! I discuss my podcasting setup, to encourage those who have expressed interest in starting their own show. Soapboxes are cheap these days, here's mine: M-Audio Micro-Track 2 Recorder…

L2L-024 Responses - Whirlwinds, pt 4
I received some encouraging answers to prayer lately. God is awesome! I hope this episode can encourage you to increase the frequency and fervency of your prayer life. God is faithful and is listening.
-
L2L-023 Availing Much - Whirlwinds, pt 3
This episode is about prayer. Lately I have been in intercessory prayer for specific people and I've noticed very distinct evidences that the Lord is working in their lives. Mountains are starting to move, and it is amazing.

L2L-022 Songs About Rainbows - Cult of Celebrity Pt. 7
I contrast modernism vs post-modernism through two songs about rainbows. One was the first number from the 1979 movie The Muppet Movie, "Rainbow Connection" performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson). The second song is from The Gregory Brothers (http://youtube.com/schmoyoho) and Yosemitebear...

L2L-021 Being Ready
First original episode after joining RRN. I give my thoughts about the "ground zero mosque" government-media psy-op that is going on in the culture these days. And then I play a David Guzik sermon on Matthew 25, and I discuss the way I conceptualize the 'talents' in the parable of the talents. If...

L2L-020 Like A Child (Repost)
Reposting for new RRN listeners. What does it mean to be a child of God? I discuss some thoughts on this issue in the context of my previous episode Light Pollution (check that one out first). Resist the temptation to dismiss everything I say in this episode by saying something like, "We aren't...

L2L-019 Light Pollution (Repost)
Letters to Laodicea is now available from the Revelations Radio Network! A big thank you to Chris White of Nowhere to Run and to everyone who may have had a hand in my being included in the network. I hope that the show is a blessing to the wider audience I will now enjoy. For the benefit of new...
-
L2L-018 Whirlwinds, pt 2
I broke up with my girlfriend. In this episode I spiritualized everything about the breakup, and spoke about how my relationship to my girlfriend mirrors the God-human relationship. I offer some suggestions about what we can learn from my situation and apply to our own personal relationship with...
-
L2L-017 Goodbye Frank
I salute Frank Lordi, a fellow watchman, who has recently retired from podcasting. I also give a little of my own testimony and discuss how Frank's diligent research was instrumental in helping me to prove that the lies were lies. I also discuss my take on a possible future chain of events...

L2L-016 Whirlwinds
If you've ever reaped a whirlwind, you'll be able to relate to this episode. Probably not an episode for kids.
-
L2L-015 Spiritual Game Theory
The Bible discourages us from being a stumbling block for another person. But often we just shake our heads and nod, not realizing how subtle that admonition really is. I discuss some of the finer points about the idea of being a stumbling block, including how to be an "anti-stumbling-block." I...

L2L-014 Like A Child
What does it mean to be a child of God? I discuss some thoughts on this issue in the context of my previous episode Light Pollution (check that one out first). Resist the temptation to dismiss everything I say in this episode by saying something like, "We aren't supposed to stay spiritual…

L2L-013 Light Pollution
I've been developing a metaphor describing our sinful condition as spiritual "light pollution," the equivalent of the physical phenomena. A light-polluted environment (such as an urban city) will cause the dark background of the night sky to become brighter, thereby 'hiding the face' of the more...
-
L2L-012 Perfect Love
This episode is kind of a response to the question, Does God Need Us? To which I basically answer, "Yes, but not necessarily," which is, I think, a compromise between William Lane Craig and James at FuzzyRadioX. This episode is also a kind of inauguration of the series I've been promising for so...
-
L2L-011 The Hollywood Sign - Cult of Celebrity Pt. 6
In this episode I discuss the recent saving of the Hollywood Sign by, among other investors, Hugh Hefner. There are several layers of meaning behind what Hef represents, what the Hollywood Sign represents, and what those representations seem to be selling to us. The logical extreme of this…

L2L-010 Overdoing Catharsis
In this episode I discuss how television affects the brain, including the repression of certain fight/flight/help reactions to violence, which seems to give rise to a change in the way one experiences real life—one becomes "at home" in the watching of fiction, and real life situations start to…
more -
L2L-009 Four Vignettes
In this episode I discuss four topics: Topic 1. An insight about the 7 letters to 7 churches in Revelation 2-3, specifically regarding the wording of the greeting in the final letter, the letter to the church "of the Laodiceans" rather than the church "at Laodicea." (This is the phrasing in the...
-
L2L-008 Lady Gaga - Cult of Celebrity Pt. 5
In this episode I discuss some songs from Lady Gaga in terms that I've discussed in the previous Cult of Celebrity episodes. The rumor about her being a hermaphrodite is interesting from an alchemical/luciferian perspective, and I briefly touch on that. In view of her foregrounded gender...
-
L2L-007 Health Care Reform
I discuss the two sides to God's will—His directive will and His permissive will—and see it as logically equivalent to the will that human governments impose or refrain from imposing on their citizenry, depending on the type of nation in question. The US is starting to become more active in its...

L2L-006 Andrew Koenig - Cult of Celebrity Pt. 4
The fourth episode on the cult of celebrity. In this episode I discuss the suicide of actor Andrew Koenig. Andrew Koenig was on Growing Pains in the 80s. His father Walter played Chekov in the original Star Trek. Andrew was my neighbor down the street, and I could tell that he seemed lonely and...
-
L2L-005 Avatar continued - Cult of Celebrity Pt. 3
The second half of the episode devoted to Avatar, in which I analyze the lyrics to 'I See You,' the song from the movie. Could this song, which comes from a movie selling pantheistic Gaia worship, actually be a secret worship song to Jesus Christ? I looked up several of the phrases from 'I See…

L2L-004 Avatar - Cult of Celebrity Pt. 2
Continuing in the cult of celebrity, I read some quotes from Chris Hedges' book that I skipped last episode. And I discuss certain viewers' reactions to seeing Avatar, who came away depressed and sometimes suicidal, wanting to escape to the world of Pandora. I reiterate the importance of making...
-
L2L-003 Celebrity
This is an episode which starts a series exploring the cult of celebrity from my perspective as someone who works in Hollywood. I also read the entire book of Colossians, which is a letter that Paul instructed those at Colosse to share with the church of the nearby Laodicea. Because our current...
-
L2L-002 Formalism
I talk about religious formalism and the worship of America, both of which are borne out of a lack of faith and by extension, a spirit of fear. I also relate two things that happened to me during the Christmas break which can only be God's doing.

L2L-001 Introduction
