Old Sinners New Saints

Before he was Paul the Apostle, he was Saul. And let’s just say his résumé wasn’t exactly filled with community service. In Part 1 of Murderer to Martyr , Ben and I take a look at the man before the miracle. We explore Saul’s background, his upbringing, his religious convictions, and how a man so convinced he was serving God became one of the early Church’s greatest enemies. How does someone go fr...

We carry them everywhere. In our pockets. On our desks. Beside our beds. Phones, laptops, screens, notifications. Technology has given us access to more information, entertainment, and connection than any generation before us. But what happens when the tools designed to help us begin demanding our attention instead? In Episode 6 of Old Sinners New Saints, Ben and I talk about the grip technology c...

We all have moments when we lose our way. In this episode of Old Sinners New Saints, Ben and I talk about what happens when that distance is between us and Jesus, how we drift, what it feels like when the connection isn’t what it once was, and how we begin finding our way back. Sometimes the road back starts with simply realizing how far we’ve wandered. And a quick correction before the geography...

Wherever you stand, start there. Maybe you’ve followed Jesus for most of your life. Maybe your faith feels strong. Maybe you’ve wandered farther away than you ever expected. Maybe you’re asking questions for the first time and you’re not even sure what you believe yet. Start there. You don’t need to wait until you know more, believe more, understand more, or have your life put back together. And i...

What if Jesus returned today? Not when you finally got your life together. Not after you accomplished everything you wanted to accomplish. Today. Like... Today Today! In this episode of Old Sinners New Saints, Ben and I wrestle with that question. Not by trying to predict dates, decode every detail of Revelation, or map out exactly how the end will unfold, but by looking inward. What would the pos...

What does it actually mean to fear God? In Episode 2 of Old Sinners New Saints, Ben and I talk about The Fear of The Lord—not as living terrified of God, but as recognizing who He is, who we are, and what happens when we lose that perspective. It's an honest conversation about reverence, obedience, grace, and learning to take God seriously without forgetting His goodness. As you can tell, it's my...

Sometimes faith doesn't disappear all at once. Sometimes we slowly drift. In Episode 1 (or Episode 101 if you count the audio-only years—but we're back to one because WE'RE NOW ON YOUTUBE!!!) of Old Sinners New Saints, Ben and I talk about finding the way back—to faith, to Jesus, and, in a very practical sense, back to church. What is the church actually for? Why does gathering with other believer...

Thank you guys for everything and have a blessed week!!! P.S....

Here is Part 2 of how to be a spiritual failure. We are two episodes in and 7 bullet points deep. I can safely say I have probalbly done all of them. I say this not in a gloating manner, but from the realization that I am a sinner and will always fall short of God's glory. That's why I need him. That's why I look up to our Father in Heaven. Because I can't go through this life alone...and wouldn't...

There are many questions we ask ourselves as Christians on a yearly, monthly even daily basis. Have you ever asked yourself, "Am I a spiritual failure?" I myself have never asked this so I am very glad that Ben and I over the next three episodes will cover ten key points on this list. Please join us on this journey and rememver that we would love to hear from you. Please write to us with questions...
