Mouthful and Mindful

by Luke Barbosa

Congratulations! If you own a phone, then you're more informed than any other generation before you. You think your great great grandfather knew the name of every BTS member? Not a chance! Okay but really, we know a lot of "stuff" about "things"... But what good does all the info in our heads do us if the quality of our lives and those around us isn't better because of it? The Bible says that "every good & perfect gift comes from the Father of heavenly lights", and this podcast is a journey to find the "good" and "God" in every day life!

Episodes

  1. Parasocial Pastorship

    Split vision leads to frustration... I have a feeling that a lot of people now days are following at least 2 visions: The first is the vision of their local church Pastor, and second is the vision of the algorithm's Pastor of the week... Let's get into the nitty gritty (Nacho Libre Voice)

  2. WHAT WE LOSE WITH AI 👀

    I've been using AI a lot lately. (I even signed up for the upgraded version). TBH It was become such a helpful tool!

  3. KBBQ at Road to Seoul

    *DON’T WATCH WHEN HUNGRY* Been a while since we’ve done a food adventure, but the time has come! 🙏

  4. Making REAL Friends in Church

    Making friends can be situational. Making good friends can only be intentional! Good, iron sharpens iron friendships take work and go both ways. I felt a burden to talk turkey on (in my humble opinion) one of the most important and overlooked skills in church: Making real friends in church.

  5. "I work harder than you..." (The Intersectionality of Busyness)

    "I suffer more", "I pray more", "I care more"... We may never actually let these words leave our lips, but that doesn't mean that they're not bouncing around in our minds. Today I'm addressing a heart issue, that I believe has been destroying relationships within the church and/or causing…

  16. The Problem of Evil & Christian Suffering (Reacting to the Testimony of a North Korean Defector)

    I react to the testimony of a Christian North Korean Defector (Shoutout to "Radical" who own all rights to the video I'm reacting to).

  22. Why I believe in the Oneness of God

    I'm back from a little birthday hiatus! Today's topic isn't a "hot take" by any means, I've heard debates about it all my life...
