Today, we delve into the poignant theme of feeling like the odd person out, examining how our perceived differences can serve as strengths. The episode presents a compelling exploration of left-handedness as a metaphor for the unique attributes that can set individuals apart. Through biblical narratives and historical examples, we illustrate that characteristics often viewed as disadvantages—such as dyslexia, mental health struggles, and physical challenges—can ultimately foster extraordinary ca...

The prodigal son is a parable we've all often heard. Today I ask, "Why did Jesus leave this lesson?" Also there are some thing s you may not know like "running is humiliating" and PIGS, yes PIGS (a common animal in the bible). Takeaways: The parable of the prodigal son illustrates the boundless compassion and forgiveness of God. Jesus conveyed this parable to demonstrate that redemption is always available for the repentant. The father's actions in the story signify that God eagerly awaits the r...

TLDR-Reading the bible has benefits - wait until you hear. The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the critical necessity of maintaining a connection with God, likened to a whale's dependence on surfacing for air. I explore the profound implications of spiritual disconnection, underscoring that just as fish cannot survive outside water, humans cannot thrive spiritually when estranged from their God. I also emphasize the alarming statistic that a substantial portion of Christian...

Today we talk about a scripture and story you've heard a million times - and never noticed this one thing. So we are talking "potty words" coming out of your mouth. Why do we do it, why we shouldn't, and what it's a symbol of. Scripture: James 3:9-10 With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. James 1:26 warns, "If anyone think...

The truth is getting blurry with technology and today we are talking about the Father of Lies (Satan) wants you to believe his lies. When you believe his lies as truth you may not be saying, doing, acting in ways you should. In some cases his lies make you feel bad, sad, etc and you throw yourself a pity party and he will join you every time.

Today I’m looking at Matthew 6 and I notice a pattern. When you do things to make you look good to other people is seems to tarnish your actions. Matthew 6:1-2 (NLT) 1 “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. 2 When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all t...

So I haven’t put out any content since May. Here are some of the reasons. I didn’t feel “Worthy” to be behind the microphone talking about God. As a person with TWO divorces under his belt, I can’t help but feel God was pissed at me. Jesus says in Matthew 19, “I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Not much room for interpretation. However, the truth is God is waiting for you: Isaiah 30:18 Yet the Lord longs to be ...
