In this episode, we continue a previous discussion of the nature of God, specifically in regard to the doctrines of Oneness and the Trinity. We started this conversation back in 2019 but held off on releasing the rest of the series, due to our desire to give the subject the treatment it deserves. We are finally ready to have the discussion at length. In this episode, which is basically part 2 of the series introduction, we discuss some reasons why this series is necessary, both for our oneness a...

In this episode, we attempt to lay a groundwork for our discussion of the nature of God, specifically in regards to the doctrines of Oneness and the Trinity. We wanted to take the time to lay out our intentions because of the sensitive nature of the topic. It's too easy to use words as weapons when dealing with deeply held beliefs. We think that we can do better. As Oneness believers, we want to be taken seriously by Trinitarian believers and we believe that the inverse is true, as well. Too man...

**CAVEAT** **We are very critical of some practices of the church and even more critical of some of the unBiblical aspects of church culture. It is not our intention to offend ANY of our listeners, whether Apostolics, other Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics, etc. What we do want to do is challenge ALL of our listeners to rethink orthodoxy in light of Scripture. We are especially hard on Apostolics but that is only because we love the church we are a part of and want to hold it to the highest sta...

Thanks for listening to part 2 of the theology discussion, which is just the beginning of our "Doctrine Series". In this episode, we continue our discussion of the importance of theology in the process of developing our personal conception of faith and in "working out our own salvation with fear and trembling". This is important stuff! Our Doctrine Series will continue next week with the first of a two-part discussion of "orthodoxy". You can find us on your favorite podcast app or on our website...

This is the first full episode of our "Doctrine Series", which will make up most of the remainder of Season 2. Over the course of this episode and the next episode (part 2 of the theology discussion), we cover theological subtopics ranging from Systematic Theology and the Theological Method to Practical and Historical Theology. This is the study of God. The "Science of God" if you will. Can we cover this topic in two podcast episodes? Absolutely not. Are we gonna give it the old college try? You...

Bryce and Jaredith have a discussion on new technology and the future of evangelism with their pastor, Larry Arrowood and his grandson Matthew Arrowood, who is also a minister in the United Pentecostal Church. This gives us a multi-generational window through which to view the advent of new(er) technologies (such as podcasting, Facebook live, etc.) and their impact on how we do evangelism as we plunge headlong into the 21st century. This is our first episode to be recorded in front of a live aud...

In the second episode of Season 2 of the podcast, Bryce and Jaredith are launching a new mini-series on the subject of doctrine. This episode gives an overview of what doctrine is and why it is important to the future of the church and to the individual lives of Christians. During the course of this series, we will cover doctrinal topics ranging from Orthodoxy and Ecclesiology to Christology and Eschatology. We will by no means cover every topic under the umbrella of "doctrines of the church", b...

In this episode of 2 Pentecostals and a Microphone, we sit down with Lori Wagner, author of over 20 books, including "Preach Like a Lady" and the brand new "Gender and Ministry". We discuss the idea of women in ministry and address the increasingly less common, but very much alive, notion that Paul taught that women should literally "be silent in the church" and "not have authority over a man". Sis. Wagner's books are available everywhere books are sold. Here are some links: Amazon: https://goo....

In this episode, the hosts take on the idea of God as a "clockmaker" that was discussed with Joe McKinney in episode 17. Is God really "hands off"? Did he simply create everything with a mechanism that runs indefinitely, only requiring periodic adjustments? Does he have his hand in every thing that happens on earth and in the cosmos? Can we really even know? Our opinion is different from Joe's, so we wanted to take some time to explore the topic.

In part two of our interview with Joe McKinney, we move away from theology and faith to spend some time exploring our friendship. We discuss our years playing in various bands. We had a great time recording this episode and we hope that comes across as you listen. We hope you can get to know us better through this discussion. We have some exciting interviews coming up in the next few months. We will be interviewing a few Apostolic authors and a legendary figure from the Christian rock world. You...

In this very special episode, Bryce and I sit down with listener and long-time friend, Joe McKinney for a discussion of his faith journey. Joe's perspective is unique. He grew up in the Apostolic church, but left during his teen years. His journey of faith has taken him on a long and winding path, exploring Buddhism, Catholicism, and Deism along the way. I believe there is a lot that we, as Pentecostals can learn from Joe and people like him; those with a different, maybe even opposing point of ...

The issue of gun ownership and gun control has been a hot-button topic for many years in the United States. Every mass shooting re-ignites the debate. We recorded this episode shortly after the tragic shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas that left 26 dead and more wounded. We understand this is a sensitive subject, but we want to try to open a discussion regarding how Christians should approach gun ownership, gun control, and whether guns have a place inside the chur...

How will the rapid development of artificial intelligence change our world? What are the ethical concerns surrounding these developments? Does the drive toward the "singularity" (the point where AI multiplies our intelligence by 1 billion) signal the end of mankind? Is it crossing the line of "playing God"? Should we fear AI? Oppose it? Embrace it? Bryce and Jaredith put on their Futurist hats to discuss these issues from their perspective as Pentecostals, tech junkies, and sci-fi fanboys. Bryce...

Episode 11 wraps up our look at the impact of Martin Luther and the Reformation on Christianity and the world at large. This episode will be released on October 31st, 2017, exactly 500 years from the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenburg, Germany. Will we be content with the Reformation of the 16th century or will we take this opportunity to reflect and realign our priorities, practices, and doctrines with the Word of God? Will we be the spark that ignites a 21s...

We felt that this bonus episode was necessary due to some accusations that were thrown at our church over the past few days. We posted a video promoting our "Trunk or Treat" event on our church's Facebook page and got some negative feedback. One man went so far as to call us "demonic" and informed us that we were "fake Apostolics" and were "all going to hell". Such brotherly love... such a Christlike spirit... We are joined by Bro. Aaron Arrowood, my former youth pastor and current Pastor of Lif...

Many positive changes came about as a result of the reformation. Not only did the Protestant movement rise from the efforts of Luther and other reformers, but slowly an internal reformation began to grow inside the Catholic church. This all came at a cost, however. The Reformation and related events triggered many uprisings, rebellions, feuds, religious wars, and inquisitions which resulted in the deaths of millions, although reliable figures are elusive. There were atrocities committed on the C...
