Q: Are churches so "Seeker Sensitive" that they water down the Gospel?
Have you ever wondered why church worship services, including yours, are they way they are? Are we really suppose to craft our worship services that appeal to unbelievers? Does God even care? What does the bible say about it all? Are you confused yet? Smash that play button to get in the thick of...

Q: What's my purpose?
Have you ever wondered what the purpose of life is? Throughout the centuries of human existence, this question has pondered the highly esteemed of thought and the most humblest of minds alike. What is our purpose? How do we define it...or how does it define us? This week, we discuss a few…

Q: Can God make a boulder even He can't lift?
You may have heard this question before, but it's still worth getting into it. Essentially, are there limitations to God? If He has limitations, doesn't that prevent Him from being omnipotent? and if He doesn't have limitations then doesn't that allow for logical impossibilities like making a...
-
Q: Who made God?
There are many religions out there that believe God was created in some way or by some other powerful being. There are, however, fundamental issues with a God being created. In actuality, God must be uncreated else He would cease to exist. This is why I believe in an uncreated Creator. He is the...
-
Q: What is heaven about?
In this episode, let's talk about heaven. What is it? Who gets to go to heaven? What are we going to do when we get there? To be honest, there aren't a ton of verses to answer these questions, but there are some generalities we can use to gain some assurance and confidence. But I think, more...

The Bible
Do you think it's weird that we as Christians follow a book? I mean, the Bible was written thousands of years ago, covering a period of over a thousand years span, written by over 40 different authors, from different backgrounds, ages, and cultures so isn't it a little out dated? Well, there's a...
-
The Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is a phrase we’ve often heard and maybe even witness or experienced in the church. There are differing views on how and what baptism really is and what it is not. As one of the two sacraments of the protestant church, it is imperative that we understand this part of Christ’s command to…

Worship Music
Welcome to church...now we want you to sing! How weird is it that we as a church sing out loud with hands raised and eyes closed? It's not that weird if you understand what music does to the heart of a worshiper. Our God is good, worthy of praise, and music is a beautiful way to learn theology…
more -
Prayer
Let's talk about talking to the "Big Guy in the Sky." On the outside, it seems like prayer is just some mumbo jumbo, talking to yourself, wishful thinking to thin air. But to the Christian, prayer is essential. It is life giving and it is a continual practice that is done, both individually and...
-
The Lord's Supper
Eating bread and drinking wine in remembrance of Jesus might seem weird to the unaffiliated but there's a great purpose to it all. It's one of the simple, yet complex, and completely beautiful traditions of the Christian church. This episode I'll dive into some of the biblical contexts for...
-
The Bride of Christ
Let's be honest...some of the things that we do in church and as a church might seem weird to other people, especially to those who were not raised in the church. So, let's make church not weird. Let's give some context and purpose to being the church, attending church, and living life as a part…

Tap Out
"Women, submit to your husbands and husbands love your wives." This verse is uncomfortable because there is a real issue of misinterpretations of this verse being taught. If you read this wrong you see men as bearing the incredible burden of complete responsibility to lead the family well and it...
-
Welcome to Church (Series Trailer)
Sharing the gospel is the call of God on every believer, and when people are born again they join the Body of Christ. However, when they actually step foot in church for the first time they might be weirded out. That’s because some of the things the Christian church does regularly is kinda weird....
-
Tattoos, Tobacco, Rock&Roll, and Booze
We have all heard that Christianity is just a list of "Do's and Don'ts," right? But is that true? This week's episode will talk about Christian Liberty and if it's okay for a Christian to enjoy a fine cigar, sip of bourbon, some new ink, or that new album that's topping the charts. It's not just…
more -
Unforgiveable
One of my favorite questions to ask people is, "if Hitler ever gave his life to Jesus, would he be saved?" This is uncomfortable for a lot of reasons, but mainly because it makes us question our own salvation. If Hitler cannot be forgiven, then when did he cross the line? What is that line?...
-
Bling Bling, y'all
Tithing is a sensitive topic. Some churches believe that all believers and members must give 10% of their paycheck in order to be in good standing with God. This comes from a reading of Malachi 3:10...but is this a correct interpretation? What about the other times tithes were given in the OT.…
more -
Racism and Slavery
Slavery is in the Bible. There, I said it. Many people though misinterpret the term and equate it with our modern view of slavery. Meaning we make the hermeneutical sin of importing our own culture and understanding of terms into the biblical narrative. So what does the Old Testament and New...
-
Righteous Lot
This week continuing in the series titled "Uncomfortable" guest host James O'Rear talks about how a sinful man who offered his innocent daughters to an angry mob for sex and then later becomes a victim of incestuous rape with those same daughters is viewed as righteous before God. It's weird…
more -
It's All Relative
This week we talk about how Intelligent Design helps us understand incest. I know...it's weird. But this is our series and we're sticking to it. I think understanding Genesis unlocks a lot of truth to scripture and helps us see the world as it should be and helps us build a firm foundation in...
-
Let My People Go
Have you ever noticed in the Exodus story, pharaoh has a hard heart? Sure, of course you did. But did you also notice that in some places he hardens his own heart or God hardens his heart? So which is it? Is God an evil puppeteer, punishing a person for doing the thing that He's making Him do in...
-
Judgy McJudgster
This episode makes us uncomfortable because it stops us in our tracks. How do you respond to, "he Bible says don't judge!" Easy...you keep reading. Does Jesus really want us not to judge...anything? And if we can't judge, what does that even mean? Are we not allowed to be a judge in court, or…
more -
Who's In Charge Here?
Pride is a dangerous thing, because it prevents us from seeing truth. Our pride blinds us from the beauty of the gospel...especially when it comes to politics. Yes. One of the ultimate uncomfortable topics in America, especially in 2021, post election...politics. So what does the Bible say to…
more -
Hate Everyone!
The Bible can make us uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. Like when it challenges our worldview, or when people do things that are super inappropriate, or when Jesus says things like, "If you want to be my disciple, you have to hate everyone in your family." Wait...what?! Yeah. He said that....
-
Women in the Church
You know what a difficult passage is, especially in today's culture? 1 Tim 2:11-15. Some people read this passage and think, "See! The Bible (and thus God)think that women are better seen than heard!" Very uncomfortable indeed. But, of course, this isn't true. Our God is so good, he loves men and...
-
Faith and Works
What is the deal between faith and works? Are we saved by faith alone (sola fide) as Paul would say, or do we agree with James (the brother of Jesus) and say that salvation is completely dependent on faith? In actuality, Paul and James are not at odds. They actually AGREE with one another and…

Uncomfortable (Series Trailer)
New series where we take a deep dive in some difficult passages and get UNCOMFORTABLE!

Evangelism 105
(Part 5 of 5) - Discipleship could have been its own series, but I decided to tag it to the end of this series on evangelism because too often we stop at making believers that we neglect the call to make disciples. Discipleship (maturing in your faith in Christ) is essential for the believer. The...
-
Evangelism 104
(Part 4 of 5) - One of the most damaging thing Christians can do when sharing the gospel is negating it with a poor response to a person rejecting the gospel message. Sharing the gospel is all about showing people Jesus, His grace and forgiveness, and if when people reject that message we lash…
more -
Evangelism 103
(Part 3 of 5) - Now that you know the gospel and your responsibility to share it, it's time to give it legs and follow in obedience. First, let's dispel a few myths surrounding evangelism and then lets work through the gospel message and how to share it with others. Ultimately, every extension of...
-
Evangelism 102
(Part 2 of 5) - Now that you know the gospel - and you've put it into your own words and written it down - do you need to share that message with others? Should you evangelize? And the short answer is...yes, because the Bible says so. Open your bible and go to Matthew 28:18-20 and lets read the...
-
Evangelism 101
(Part 1 of 5) - What is the gospel and what is its message? Can you answer this question with complete confidence? This episode will help you understand the gospel and hopefully help you construct this message for yourself (meaning in your own words). The gospel is truly good news and it's the...
-
Be In Awe of God's Faithfulness
Last episode in the series! God's faithfulness can be understood by looking at it through 5 different lenses. Namely, God is reliable, loyal, secure, constant, and trustworthy. We explore how all of these are similar but help us understand the fullness and awesomeness of God's faithfulness. What...
-
Be In Awe of God's Grace
For me, this is what it's all been for. This episode! What is God's grace? Can we earn favor with God or is it truly given as a free gift? And if it is a free gift, can't I just go around and do whatever I want since I'm covered in grace? (The answer is no, obviously, but we'll get into it). How...
-
Be In Awe Of God's Mercy
"Have mercy on us!" Do a quick search on the word mercy in the Bible and you will find a lot of people crying out to God for mercy! But is it a trait that we can look at and be in awe of? What is the difference between mercy, forgiveness, and grace? Aren't they all kind of the same thing? How…
more -
Be In Awe of God's Power
EDITED — Is there anything that God cannot do? Actually...yes. But don't worry, that's a good thing. So, what is the biblical definition of God's power? Can anything stop the will of God? What about the purpose of God? How does knowing God is truly Omnipotent give us hope and joy moving on in our...
-
Be in Awe of God's Peace
God is described in the Bible as the giver of peace, or even more accurately, Peace itself. Since God's being encompasses peace, then it is something we can be in awe of. What is God's peace? Why is it so much better than the world's definition of peace? What does it mean that Jesus is our peace?...
-
Be in Awe of God's Goodness
God is good. All the time. And all the time...yeah, you get it! What is good, and how can we say that God is good? What do we mean by that and how can we be assured of His goodness. The short answer? Jesus. Jesus is how we can see God's goodness interacting with our brokenness. Lastly, we read...
-
Be in Awe of God's Sovereignty
Anyone else think that 'sovereignty' is one of the most difficult words to spell? It has nothing to do with the podcast but...yeah, anyways... As Christians, we often say that God is in control, but do we believe it. Spoiler alert, the Bible confirms He is indeed Sovereign, that He is the supreme...
-
Be in Awe of God's Eternal Nature
This week we look at one of God's incommunicable attributes, His eternal nature. Is God eternal or just really old? What does the Bible say about it? How does knowing God is, "from everlasting to everlasting" help us worship Him more fully?
-
Be in Awe of God's Jealousy
Continuing in our discussion of God's "negative" attributes, we discuss God's jealousy. God's word says He is a jealous God...and isn't that a bad thing? Jealousy is wrong and is indicative of weakness and insecurity. Is God insecure and needy? How can God have a righteous jealousy? And how can…
more -
Be In Awe of God's Wrath
Wait...isn't wrath a bad thing? If wrath is evil, how can we worship God's wrath? Let's look through the Bible and see five hope-giving realities that we can learn about God's wrath. In truth, his wrath is an extension of His goodness, grace, justice, and even mercy. Knowing about God's wrath...
-
Be in awe of God's Holiness
This episode we talk about how God is higher than all of us. He is above us all, set apart, distinct from creation in all ways. How can we worship God's Holiness? How does knowing God is holy dictate how we see our relationship with Him? How does knowing we are made holy by the blood of Christ...
-
Be In Awe of God's Justice
Week two of our series "Be In Awe" talks about how God is just. He is the perfect judge who executes justice perfectly as our holy Judge. His laws are perfect, his justice is righteous. God's justice is retributive and restorative. As we all (as in mankind) are made in God's image, we all...
-
Be In Awe of God's Love
The first in series that examines the many beautiful and marvelous characteristics of our amazing God! Yes, God's love is so amazing that we can and should be be in awe of Him because of it. Why is it important to know God loves us? Why do we say God's love is great? Is there a purpose to God's...
-
Christianity Isn't a Checklist
We don't fill up because it's what we're supposed to do as Christians. We fill up because it is a response to God's drawing us closer to Himself. Our desire is to be in relationship with Him. His grace saves us, we surrender our lives over to Him, the Holy Spirit Transforms, we become transformed...
-
Fill Up and Pour Out
Isaiah 64:8 says that we are clay and God is the Great Potter. We can take that to mean that He has molded us into "containers". Our containers, our jars, our lives are meant to be filled up with His love and grace for the sole purpose of pouring all of that out onto our world so that they will…
