    The Epstein Problem

    From the dark corners of QAnon to the reality of ICE detentions, this episode connects the dots on a web of influence leading straight to the White House. We trace the disturbing links between Jeffrey Epstein’s network and modern political power—and reveal Donald Trump’s surprising reaction to it all.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Silence = Blasphemy

    In this episode, I explain why posts and rhetoric from Trump supporters—framing government agencies and political loyalty as “Godly,” “righteous,” or divinely mandated—force people of faith to speak up. This isn’t just politics anymore, for anyone of faith it is now so much more. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Trump Dines with White Nationalist, again.

    Trump dines with an old friend and close political supporter at Mar-a-Lago. The friend later tweets his support for the racist ramblings of a white-nationalist nut. And? The press says nothing. Any other president in the past 50 years would have had to respond to his relationship to this person, and asked if he agreed with the racist sentiments. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    The Real Reason for Trump's Strike on Venezuela

    For all his dishonesty, exaggerations, and lies, occasionally Donald Trump is shockingly transparent and truthful about his motives...but mostly in ways that are unintentional. This is one of those times. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    The Bible - The Missing Verses

    Most modern Bibles are missing verses you’ll find in older translations like the King James Version. In this episode, we explore why those verses disappeared, how they ended up in some translations but not others, and what this reveals about the history of the Bible.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Is Dogma Dangerous?

    We all have dogma — even if we don’t admit it. Today I reveal mine, how I chose them, and why being honest about our dogma may be a more important step in faith than we think.  Thanks to Dan McClellan for his channel that gave rise to the topic for this episode! https://www.youtube.com/@UCAAJCQ0FCqRmAEv95SyTfNg His episode on God forming creation "ex nihilo" or "out of nothing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPSz3U81ybo———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    The Curious Case of the Red-Haired Judas

    Years ago, I was teaching a class about the stained-glass windows in my church. As I was studying them, I saw something I hadn't noticed before: Judas had red hair. I became curios - I had to know...why was Judas depicted as having red hair?

    How to Handle the Trump Problem

    Donald Trump is not just a horrible President, but a morally bankrupt person who seems almost universally drawn towards cruel, insensitive, and ethically indefensible positions. BUT nevertheless, he sits in the White House with a belief that the power of the Presidency is absolute and unquestionable. And if we are honest, those of us who oppose his leadership have not been terribly effective in our opposition. Why? This episode explains why we fail and how we need to change in order to be more successful in the future.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Trump and His Court Jesters

    Many of us believer that Donald Trump would love to become King. (Let's hope he never succeeds!) Strangely, I would argue the role he has reinstated, from royal courts of old, is the jester. The episode explains how, what their function has been, how it has changed recently, and how there may be some good news in all of this. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    What is Trump's Superpower?

    Donald Trump is seemingly impervious to almost all attempts to get him to rethink his policies and decisions. Frustratingly, he has all the wisdom, thoughtfulness, and intentionality of a bunch of drunk monkeys (my apologies to monkeys everywhere.) So it is puzzling to realize, and even more confusing to admit, that he is arguably the most successful politician since FDR. This episode asks the question: is there some sort of magical ability or super power that we haven't yet recognized?———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Trump vs 10 Commandments

    There are far-right conservative Christians who have supported Trump, been invited to Mar-a-Lago, and made it know that they wish to institute Christian law in the United States during his Presidency. If they get their way, they will initially base this law on the biblical Ten Commandments. This episode looks at the moral disconnect between wanting the Ten Commandments to be the law of the land under a guy who doesn't seem to follow them at all.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    TheoBros: Be Afraid, Be VERY Afraid!

    There is a new group of young, hyper-conservative, male Christians who have emerged on the religious and political scene. But, this happens all the time, so why is this different? They are more tech-savvy than those who have come before. They are more vocal and confrontational than most of their predecessors. And they have ties to some pretty powerful people in the Administration, and beyond. This episode will explain clearly who they are and why you should be concerned.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Bible or Shakespeare?

    Today's episode is both a response to the weariness many people feel, and just my desire to occasionally create content that’s intended to be fun, and nothing more. It all stared with a game (Cryptogram) I enjoy playing when I want to relax. The title says it all - ten quotes to see if you can tell the difference between quotes from the Bible and quotes from Shakespeare. Have fun with this, and enjoy the game. And remember: this isn't important. If this feels like it IS important or you find yourself getting anxious, listen to something else. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Tithing Christmas?

    Christmas has become rife with rampant excess. And the truth is most of us have no intention of doing less. So, how can we get our focus back on Christmas...the real and unvarnished story of Christmas? Recently, I saw a commercial on television that got me thinking about about a simple but powerful solution.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest

    Are Zeal and Humility Mutually Exclusive?

    Are You Thankful, or Just Gloating?

    This episode was sparked by witnessing the destruction and suffering that had been experienced in the southeast following hurricane Helene.

    Is Trumpism a Cult?

    As I was watching the interaction between Trump and his followers, I noticed a religious-like fervor. Then I asked, "Is this a cult?"

    Jesus- Liberal or Conservative?

    I have  heard and read  a lot of words offered as proof of Jesus' tendency towards liberalism or love of  conservatism. I think, as of late, Christians are less and less a people who try to reflect the teachings of Jesus in our daily lives, and more and more we seem to be a people who want Jesus to reflect our own cultural and political favorites. So I decided to ask the question myself  is Jesus a liberal of conservative?———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Is Trump the Antichrist?

    In response to my most recent two episodes, I have had quite a few people ask: Is Trump is the antichrist? Others have been more certain: They are absolutely sure he is. This episode looks at what the Bible says about the antichrist, what the modern expectation are, and why I think the answer to the question is absolutely clear. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    Never Vote Again

    When Donald Trump calls upon Christians and tells them that, if he wins, they will never vote again, should we believe him or dismiss his promise as silly hyperbole? This video examines the convergence of his bold promises, his use of Christian Nationalism, and the beliefs of many the Christians who support him. I am a life-long Christian and I want to be clear: I am against the way he is co-opting the Christian faith and I think is it bad for both Christianity and for America.———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    The N.A.R. and Christian Nationalism

    There’s a new movement in the world of conservative Christianity. It is relatively opaque and unknown, but its power and influence is growing, and if you are unaware of the NAR, it is time you learn about them, because they are on a path to change Christianity, politics, and culture in the United States. It’s not hyperbole in the slightest to say that, if they succeed, politics, religion, and culture will be dramatically - and more worrisome - perhaps permanently changed. ———————————————————————————————————————Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

So, what is the word and why do so many Christians choose the interpretation that could lead to our destruction?

The Gospels each tell the story of Easter morning and the discovery of Jesus's empty tomb, but there is  surprising variation between them.

    Who Would Jesus Vote For?

    I have heard and read so much recently from Christians who espouse their belief that God is on the side of their political candidate. After watching so much contantious debate, it seemed less than wise to venture into those hostile waters with an opinion. And yet... I decided, "what the heck?" And so in this episode, I endevour to answer what is, in all likelyhood, an unanswerable question: If Jesus were asked who he woudl vote for, what would he say?———————————————————————————————————————. Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

    I recently came across a quote from Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross that caught my attention. She bluntly said there is a life choice that is so important, if you don’t choose it, you are a "prostitute" and "you will not have a pleasant death."  This episode offers two opposing life choices. One is proposed by Dr. Kubler-Ross. Other is a movie quote, but it is said by none other than Morgan Freeman, who may not be God, but has played the Almighty in a movie. ———————————————————————————————————————. Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg

This episode explains the difference between the two, why there is a push for the change, and an easy method for making the change in your own life. ———————————————————————————————————————. Have a spiritual, theological, or religious question you would like me to tackle?Contact me via email:    [email protected] be sure to check me out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkyPilotFaithQuest...........................................................................................Music: Composed for SkyPilot: Faith Quest by Arlan Sunnarborg
